Rapid Critical Minerals ‘significantly’ expands Webbs Project

Rapid Critical Metals (ASX:RCM) is significantly expanding its Webbs Silver Project in Northern New South Wales.

One drill rig is active on the ground and a new exploration licence application has been lodged to secure the southern extent of the ‘highly prospective trend’.

With a second drill rig on the way, the initial program aims to test southern extensions of the Webbs ore body and recently discovered parallel lode. Two targets have the potential to materially grow the known mineralised footprint.

Further drilling will test, expand, and better define the southern, central, and northern sections of the Webbs resource.

“Timing, foresight and geological fundamentals have underpinned Rapid’s growth and our aggressive accumulation of highly prospective exploration targets — each systematically linked, both geologically and logistically, to our existing resources,” Managing Director Byron Miles says.

“While we continue to add ounces and grade to proven resources, we are also looking outward, with a rig now turning to test the scale of the adjacent systems around us.”

The company now plans to reverse-circulation drill a further four 560-metre deep holes at Tangoa South.

Rapid Critical Metals is a silver and gallium exploration company with assets primarily in New South Wales and Canada.
