Kaili Resources (ASX:KLR) has completed a 261m aircore drilling program at its Coodalya Rare Earth Project in South Australia.
The company drilled 16 holes to depths of up to 18m, primarily in the northeast corner of the Coodalya tenement within the Murray Basin. The program builds on previous drilling results reported in October 2025 and March 2026.
Kaili has collected, prepared, and delivered all samples for portable X-ray fluorescence scanning before selection for laboratory assays. Results will be announced when received.
Coodalya sits approximately 200km east of Adelaide and overlays the Loxton/Parilla Sands of the region. Rare earth elements are reportedly contained within the fine clay fraction of Tertiary strandlines in an ionic clay style deposit.
Drilling follows exploration success by Australian Rare Earths (ASX:AR3) in the region, which released results of a Prefeasibility Study for its Koppamurra Rare Earths Project in June.
Principal Geologist Mark Derriman says the focused drilling program will allow the company to consider further drilling within adjacent private land.
“This small and focused drilling program will build on previous drilling in 2025 and earlier this year and allow the company to consider further drilling programs within adjacent private land,” Derriman notes.
KLR holds three granted rare earth exploration tenements — Lameroo, Karte, and Coodalya — in the Murray Basin of South Australia.
Kaili Resources is an explorer advancing a portfolio of rare earths, gold, and base metals projects across South Australia, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.
