Key Highlights
– 183km2 of recent tenure secured, increasing Basin’s district-scale Sybella-Barkly REE-uranium footprint to six,140km2.
– Extra landholding thought of potential for clay-hosted REE and paleochannel uranium, supported by historic AEM and geochemical anomalies.
– Conduct and compensation settlement now finalised for Ardmore Station, permitting exploration entry for the following 12 months.
– Preliminary sediment-hosted REE drilling ongoing, with ~3,000m deliberate in This autumn 2025.
– A number of district-scale targets prepared for systematic drilling.
The Firm has efficiently secured an software for Exploration Allow for Minerals (“EPM”) 29333, which can add 183 km2 of extremely potential floor to the Challenge (check with determine 1*). This will increase the Sybella-Barkly landholding to six,140 km2, strengthening Basin’s place over key sediment-hosted REE and uranium goal corridors. The applying is anticipated to take round months to progress to grant.
Basin has additionally finalised a conduct and compensation settlement overlaying work for the following 12 months at Ardmore Station, a vital milestone enabling the Firm to proceed with its exploration program.
Managing Director, Pete Moorhouse commented:
“With drilling nicely underway on the first of our three district-scale targets for REE and uranium at this exceptionally potential mission, we’re pleased to broaden our land place by way of the applying of a further exploration allow. Our Firm’s drill program has been progressing nicely so far, and I’ve been on website for the final week, personally overseeing the progress. The staff is doing an amazing job and I’m very excited for the outcomes of the assays within the coming months.”
Sediment Hosted Potential
The extra software is deemed potential for sediment-hosted targets for uranium and REE inside the Barkly Tablelands. The Barkly Tablelands, check with determine 4*, had been surveyed with airborne electromagnetics (“AEM”) by Summit Assets in February 2007 previous to its acquisition by Paladin Vitality Restricted (ASX:PDN). While quite a few targets had been recognized, no drilling was accomplished on the time. Present drainage patterns information point out that the sediments forming the Barkly Tablelands are sourced from the Sybella Batholith. Basin is presently conducting the maiden drilling of this space to focus on uranium and REE potential, with roughly 3,000 metres anticipated to be drilled in This autumn 2025.
Sediment and Ionic Clay Hosted REE Potential – District Scale Goal
Outcomes of floor geochemistry samples point out important mobilisation of uncommon earth components into the Barkly Tablelands from the Sybella Batholith, which hosts Pink Steel’s Sybella Discovery. Floor sediment samples type a regionally important anomaly, check with determine 4*. The very best of those values are inside catchments draining from the Sybella discovery.
The Summit Assets AEM survey not solely outlines an interpreted intensive paleochannel community but in addition highlights a conductive layer inside the Barkly Tablelands sediment bundle instantly beneath this geochemical anomaly, roughly 12 metres thick from 20 to 32 metres depth with a footprint of over 1,000 km2. This conductive layer might signify a clay unit, produced from the intensive weathering of the Sybella granites and is potential for clay-hosted REE, check with determine 5*.
Basin’s preliminary drilling is focusing on this conductive horizon with aircore drilling. A median gap depth of roughly 35 metres is anticipated.

Paleochannel Roll Entrance Uranium Potential – District Scale Goal
The Summit Assets’ AEM survey recognized a stacked sequence of paleochannels inside the Barkly Tablelands, fed from the Sybella Batholith, check with figures 5 & 6*. This community is trending southerly, the place no additional AEM information exists.
Uranium content material inside the Sybella varies between the totally different phases of granites, as could be seen within the regional ternary radiometric picture and supported by regional rock chip information, check with determine 6*.
Educational analysis additionally signifies that these “sizzling” granites are the supply for the Valhalla uranium deposits.
Moreover, historic drilling recorded redox fronts, sandstone channels and impermeable cap rocks, nonetheless no radiometric information was collected, and uranium was not assayed for.
Utilizing the Sybella rocks that doubtless shaped the supply for the Valhalla deposits, Basin will goal the potential for uranium to have additionally been mobilised from the Sybella granites, by way of the interpreted intensive paleochannel community, which seems to have appropriate geological host traits.
Concentrating on work was accomplished by Summit Assets and Fugro to prioritise these interpreted channels.
Basin’s first cross aircore drilling program will look to verify the traits of those interpreted channels. An preliminary 35 holes are proposed, with a mean depth of 40 metres for a complete of roughly 1,400 metres.
