West Cobar starts 3,000-metre scandium drilling campaign in Western Australia
West Cobar Metals has launched its first dedicated scandium drilling campaign at the Salazar project in Western Australia.
The program plans about 3,000 metres of aircore drilling.
Aircore drilling will test shallow, clay-rich material for higher-grade scandium zones.
The company will also test for extensions to known mineralisation.
The work aims to identify areas with more scandium and assess whether known mineralisation continues beyond its current limits.
The campaign is now under way, but no drilling results are provided.
