Lincoln Minerals (ASX:LML) CEO Jonathon Trewartha and Exploration Geologist Justin Gum join Mining.com.au’s Oriel Morrison live from the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
The duo shares the remarkable story behind a copper-zinc discovery that was not supposed to happen — what they now describe as a potential third company-maker for Lincoln. Originally drilled for iron ore over a decade ago, this unexpected find beneath a historic magnetite deposit is now reigniting interest in the region.
With modern exploration tools and reinterpretation of historic data, Lincoln Minerals is leveraging AI, PXRF, and legacy geophysics to uncover new value. As the team works through 2,200m of relogging and re-assaying, momentum is building ahead of a targeted July quarter drill campaign. Mining.com.au also gets an update on the company’s two other key assets: the high-grade graphite project at Kookaburra Gully and the large high-purity iron deposit — both already at advanced stages.
