Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has received a crucial approval from the US Forest Service for its proposed drilling program at the Horse Heaven project in Idaho. Resolution Minerals focuses on the exploration and development of mineral resources. The company is dedicated to discovering and developing projects that meet the growing demand for critical minerals. This approval satisfies a major condition for Resolution’s acquisition of the high-value precious and critical minerals project. The upcoming drilling campaign will test up to 57 holes from 19 drill sites along the existing road network, targeting antimony, gold, silver, and tungsten.
Phase 1 of the drilling program is expected to commence next month and will focus on 20 drill holes totalling approximately 20,000 feet at the Golden Gate target area. According to Craig Lindsay, Resolution’s chief executive officer of US Operations, this approval marks a transformational moment for the Horse Heaven project. It allows for the first new drilling at the project in over 30 years.
The initial Golden Gate Fault Zone target spans approximately 3.5 kilometres and hosts known disseminated gold mineralisation. Historically, the Golden Gate Ridge area has produced tungsten and an antimony anomaly has been identified that runs parallel to the Golden Fault Zone. The company is excited to begin aggressively advancing Horse Heaven to confirm the presence of a gold resource at Golden Gate, expand known mineralisation, and potentially identify the presence of tungsten and antimony.
Resolution reported that the potential vendor of the Horse Head project has completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of the project’s current owner. Resolution needs to complete its due diligence and gain shareholder approval, which is being sought at the upcoming general meeting on 25 July. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, the company plans to commence drilling at Horse Head almost immediately.
