Hines Hill – REE (100%) 136km2
Location and Tenure
The Hines Hill REE project consists of one tenement granted tenement (E70/5875) within the Yilgarn region, located 20km west of Merredin and along the Great Eastern Highway.
Geological Setting
The project area is underlain by granites of the Yilgarn craton, with multiple SW/NE trending dykes transecting the license.
Exploration history and potential
The project area contains two large aeromagnetic anomalies which may be indicative of carbonatite intrusives. In addition, sampling by the GSWA in the Yilgarn craton defined a strong REE anomaly in the vicinity of the aeromagnetic anomalies. It is therefore believed that the project area may host previously unknown carbonatite intrusives with REE mineralisation potential.
