Strickland Metals Limited provided an update on its Iroquois Project located in the Earaheedy Basin in Western Australia (80% Strickland; 20% Gibb River Diamonds Ltd). Given the recent success of utilising surface geochemistry to identify key interpreted `feeder structures' at both Iroquois and Malecite, a wider, more extensive soil sample program was undertaken across the northern part of E69/2820. This work was designed to highlight additional fertile structures that could connect the initial Iroquois discovery (IQRC001: 23 metres @ 5.5% Zn + Pb from 108m1) to Rumble Resources Ltd.'s flagship Earaheedy Project.

A total of 2,510 samples, at a spacing of 200 metres (north-south) by 50 metres (east-west), were collected as part of this wider geochemical program. Preliminary pXRF analysis of these soil samples has successfully highlighted several zones of coherent Cu-Pb-Zn anomalism that are consistent with the surface geochemical expressions at both Iroquois and Malecite. Subsequent ground truthing of these anomalies has found that much of this area is under shallow cover.

However, isolated patches of exposed chloritic siltstone (the unit which lies above the host Iroquois dolomite unit and is outcropping to the east of Iroquois) suggests that there are repetitions in the sequence of stratigraphy, moving from east to west. This repetition in stratigraphy further enhances the geological model of this being a regional graben structure, with the `feeder structures' marking the original basin architecture. A Native Title Heritage Survey was scheduled to take place on 3 October 2022.

However, due to cultural reasons, the Heritage Survey has been re-scheduled for 24 October 2022. A revised Heritage Notification has been drafted to incorporate the drill testing of these newly defined base metal anomalies.
