Following the lodgement of two tenement applications in Western Australia, Great Dirt Resources (ASX:GR8) has expanded its exploration portfolio by roughly 311km2.
Both tenements are located in the East Pilbara region of the state, some 50km north-east of the Woodie Woodie manganese mine owned by Consolidated Minerals, and complement Great Dirt’s wholly owned manganese project in New South Wales.
Managing Director Marty Helean says the “zero-cost” acquisition builds on the company’s already prospective manganese tenure.
“It’s a good time to hold ground prospective for manganese, as prices continue to rise. We remain committed to seeking opportunities and adding value, and it’s nice to have some prospectivity in our own backyard here in Western Australia.”
Great Dirt, which has a market capitalisation of $7.11 million, plans to review all available data across the two tenements and will provide an update in due course.
