Krakatoa Resources ups the ante on King Tamba with aggressive new drilling

Krakatoa Resources Ltd

Krakatoa Resources Ltd (ASX:KTA) chairman Colin Locke tells Proactive the company has significantly expanded exploration at the wholly-owned King Tamba Project in Western Australia by way of a further 6,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. KTA recently completed 1,800 metres of RC drilling to test the extent of high-grade lithium in soil anomalies across the Wilsons, Loader and MGM prospects. Thirteen out of the 16 holes drilled intersected thick, continuous pegmatites from 70 metres deep, including a flat-lying blind pegmatite up to 39 metres thick underneath the 4.3% Li2O rock chip at Wilsons prospect. “Previous drilling covered a mere fraction of the 3-kilometre LCT corridor,” Locke said. “It’s time to take an aggressive approach and carry out comprehensive drill testing of the high-grade anomalous soil zone.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Silver Bullet Mines announces high-grade silver results at Buckeye Mine leading to key decision

Silver Bullet Mines Corp.

Silver Bullet Mines Vice President of Capital Markets Peter Clausi joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news regarding the impressive high-grade silver results that have been announced as part of the development of the new Zone 1 at the Buckeye Mine Project. Clausi explained that recent blasting activities have substantially widened the vein to over 19 feet, with assays revealing up to 24.2 ounces of silver per ton. This development is particularly promising, suggesting that the company is nearing the location of historical drill holes from 1969, and management anticipates that silver grades will continue to improve with further blasting deeper into Zone 1. Furthermore, the material obtained from these recent blasts is considered economically viable for processing. As a result, it is being prepared for transportation to the mill. Once the material is delivered, Silver Bullet Mines plans to restart milling operations. This step is crucial as the company progresses with the Buckeye Mine Project, aiming to enhance silver production and advance the project's overall development.

Amaero International CEO Hank Holland joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's plans to establish a critical metals powder manufacturing facility in Tennessee in the US. This facility will initially focus on the production of C-103, a Niobium alloy known for its high-performance and heat-resistant qualities essential for hypersonic and space applications.

Additionally, Holland outlined Amaero International's roadmap towards commercial production, with the aim of completing several initiatives by the end of 2024. These include finalizing the floor plan for the Tennessee facility, ordering the second atomiser, and fully commissioning the first gas atomiser along with the requisite ancillary powder and processing equipment.
