BOA reports copper across more than 400m at Ricci Lee
BOA Resources has reported more copper results from its Ricci Lee prospect, part of the Neds Creek project in Western Australia’s Murchison region.
The company says 28 of the 34 reported reverse circulation drill holes have returned high-grade copper.
Its Main Lode extends for more than 400 metres and reaches from the surface to beyond 200 metres deep.
A parallel lode has been traced for 160 metres and remains open to the north.
The drilling is helping the company understand the shape and extent of the copper system, but more results and geological modelling are needed.
Assays from 12 more Ricci Lee holes are pending, along with results from 92 aircore holes at five other prospects.
BOA says it will use the results to assess the system as it works towards a first Mineral Resource estimate.

- BOA Resources, an Australian-listed exploration company.
- What
- The company reported copper results from drilling at Ricci Lee, including high-grade intersections and evidence of two lodes.
- When
- The results were reported on October 12, 2026.
- Where
- Ricci Lee, part of the Neds Creek copper project in Western Australia’s Murchison region.
- Why
- The drilling is helping BOA assess the scale of the copper system and progress towards a maiden Mineral Resource.
This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
These results are important because they continue to transform Ricci Lee from a series of historical intercepts into a coherent, high-grade copper system
With another 12 Ricci Lee holes still to report, our priority is to complete the geological interpretation and assess the scale of the system as we progress towards a maiden Mineral Resource.
