Yari Minerals (ASX:YAR) has begun a project-wide aeromagnetic and radiometric survey at its South Wodgina Project in Western Australia.
The survey is designed to cover the entire South Wodgina exploration licence and is expected to take one week to complete.
Commenting on the survey work, Yari Minerals Managing Director Anthony Italiano says: “It’s exciting to be embarking on the next phase of exploration at our compelling South Wodgina project.
The results of this survey are expected to complement existing data and enable us to generate a suite of high-priority and quality targets. These targets will be systematically explored in the near future with geological fieldwork and drilling once the necessary land access permits have been approved.”

Thomson Aviation will be flying the survey, with a fixed-wing aircraft collecting data on a 50m east-west line spacing, plus north-south tie lines at 500m spacing, for a total of 6,678 line kms.
Geophysical consultancy Resource Potentials is managing the data management and post-acquisition data processing. Yari expects to receive the fully processed results within 30 days after the completion of the survey.
Results from the airborne survey will be combined with recently completed high-resolution Worldview-3 satellite spectral data. Yari says this will support it in designing exploration targeting activities going forward.
Yari Minerals is an ASX-listed battery minerals-focused exploration company that owns a 100% interest in the Pilbara Lithium and Wandagee projects, comprising 1,400km-square in 6 granted exploration licences in Western Australia.
As of 30 June 2023, the company had $1.829 million cash at hand, according to its latest quarterly report.
