Rackla Metals racks up drill rigs at Lentung

Simon Ridgway, CEO and director of Rackla Metals (TSX-V:RAK), updates us on the Lentung Tungsten Project in Canada’s Northwest Territories. A reverse circulation (RC) rig has joined the diamond drill on site for a combined 10,000m drilling program

🔑 Key topics discussed:

  • Diamond drill already on hole nine
  • RC rig set to begin infill and expansion drilling
  • Targeting validation and expansion of historic resource at the Central zone
  • Encouraging visual observations to be followed up by lab results within weeks

Lentung sits within the Tombstone Tungsten Belt, renowned as one of the ‘highest-grade’ and richest tungsten regions on Earth. Will Lentung live up to the legacy of its neighbours Mactung and Cantung?

About the guest and company:
Simon Ridgway leads Rackla Metals, a Vancouver-based exploration company advancing gold and tungsten projects across the Northwest Territories and Yukon. The company has assembled a significant land position in the eastern Tombstone Belt — a district known for reduced mid-Cretaceous intrusions hosting multiple gold and tungsten deposits.

🎥 Watch the full interview to gain insights into the 2026 exploration season.
