Aruma Resources (ASX:AAJ) is set to commence a reverse circulation drilling program at its Saltwater Project in Western Australia, targeting significant gold and gallium surface geochemical anomalies identified at the Terceira prospect. The program, spanning 1,500m, follows the expected approval of a heritage survey in June. Terceira exhibits a 300m-long gold anomaly and an 800m gallium/arsenic anomaly.
In addition to drilling, Aruma is reprocessing historical aeromagnetic data to refine exploration targets at the Spinifex and Trinity Domes, with Southern Geoscience Consultants overseeing the process. Furthermore, an infill and expansion soil sampling program of approximately 200 samples will be conducted at the Talmine prospect, building on previous sampling results that revealed grades exceeding 24 grams per tonne gallium oxide, including a high of 136.05g/t gallium oxide. The Saltwater Project, located 120km southwest of Newman, covers 465km2. Aruma Resources focuses on developing its gold and lithium projects within Western Australia.
