Terra Metals (ASX:TM1) will continue exploration and expansion at the Dante Project in Western Australia, following the third and fourth round of assay results.
Results returned are from 13 reverse circulation drillholes and confirm oxide and sulfide-dominant mineralisation within a large, vertically stacked magmatic system.
Highlight results include 21m @ 10.5% titanium dioxide, 0.40% vanadium oxide, 43 parts per million gallium oxide from 101m, and 33m @ 14.7% titanium dioxide, 0.57% vanadium oxide, 52ppm gallium oxide from 182m.
The company is aiming to deliver a maiden resource estimate for SW3 and SW4, as drilling continues in 2026.
CEO Thomas Line says these results mark a “significant” critical minerals discovery.
“We have confirmed a very large, thick and laterally continuous titanium, vanadium, and gallium system, with high-grade magnetite reef packages up to 60m thick extending from surface and remaining open along strike and depth,” Line says.
“Importantly, the scale and consistency of this mineralisation – now demonstrated over more than 800m of strike and over 400m of width – supports the potential for a deposit that is larger and thicker than the existing Dante Reefs MRE.
“Additional Ti-V-Ga intercepts reported at SW1, SW5, and further north suggest potential for the system to extend for at least 1.8km x 0.8km in strike and width.”
As previously reported by Mining.com.au, Terra announced that assays will continue to be released through the progression of the project.
Terra Metals is focused on the development of its Dante project, located in the West Musgrave region of Western Australia.
The company is presenting at the RIU Explorers Conference in Fremantle, Western Australia, held from 17-19 February 2026. Mining.com.au is an official media partner at this year’s event.
