Terra Critical Minerals (ASX:T92) has reported historical rock-chip results of up to 2.90% tin and 106 grams per tonne indium at its Tamworth Tin Project in New South Wales.
The company has identified significant historical mineralisation at the Giant’s Den prospect within the 100%-owned project, located in the New England Tin Province.
Key results from YTC Resources’ 2008–2009 sampling program include 2.90% tin, 0.71% tin with 106g/t indium, 0.54% tin, and 0.39% tin with 101g/t indium.
The project encompasses the historically productive Watsons Creek alluvial tin field, which recorded production of approximately 1,600 tonnes of tin.
“The combination of high-grade hard-rock tin mineralisation, significant indium values, and extensive historical alluvial production provides multiple avenues for exploration and potential development,” Chairman Andrew Vigar says of the project.
Terra is reviewing historical datasets and developing a modern exploration strategy, including literature analysis, LiDAR and open-file geophysics assessment and remote sensing, with access approvals now underway.
Terra Critical Minerals continues to build its critical metals portfolio in New South Wales’ New England area, which includes the Ottery Tin Mine, Castle Rag Silver deposit, Mole River base metals project, and Glen Eden, host to the state’s largest tungsten deposit.
