About

Wildcat Resources Limited is a mineral exploration company focused on discovery. Wildcat’s project portfolio continues to evolve as it pursues strategic land holdings in geological terranes and provinces with proven or emerging potential for discovery.

Its projects comprise the Tabba Tabba Lithium-Tantalum Project and Bolt Cutter Gold and Lithium Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia; as well as the Mt Adrah Gold Project in the Lachlan Fold Belt in New South Wales; plus several early-stage tenements and applications in Western Australia.

Tabba Tabba is one of four major tantalum projects previously owned by Sons of Gwalia, that included Greenbushes, Pilgangoora and Wodgina. Tabba Tabba is the only one of these projects previously unexplored for lithium and not yet a globally significant lithium resource. Tabba Tabba is a very large pegmatite field hosting many large outcropping pegmatites over 3.2km of strike. The surface expression of the pegmatite field is comparable to the nearby large 259Mt Wodgina Lithium Project.

Tabba Tabba is one of only two development projects in Australia on granted Mining Leases on Mining Leases (in addition to Delta Lithium’s (ASX:DLI) Mt Ida Project) and closer to port and processing facilities than any other lithium project currently in Australia. These favourable attributes mean, subject to exploration success, it can be brought into production several years faster than projects on Exploration Licences.

Wildcat commenced an aggressive drilling campaign at Tabba Tabba in July 2023, adding an additional RC rig in August 2023.

The Bolt Cutter Gold and Lithium Project comprises six granted exploration licences, and 14 applications covering 913km2 of the Mallina Basin in WA’s Pilbara region. The Mallina Basin hosts the 414Mt Pilgangoora and 259Mt Wodgina lithium deposits which currently account for almost 20% of global lithium supply. It is also a prospective gold province where there has been significant recent exploration success, including the discovery by DeGrey Mining Limited (ASX: DEG) of the 11.2Moz Hemi gold deposit. The applications cover favourable positions along trend from Pilgangoora and Wodgina and proximal to Split Rock Supersuite granitoids (considered to be the source of LCT pegmatites in the district), and structural extensions of the Berghaus Shear (associated with Hemi and other gold occurrences) and adjacent structures. This is a very exciting project, and the Company continues to build its tenure position in the region.

Wildcat’s Mt Adrah Project (493km²) covers 50km of the Gilmore Suture zone, a regionally important structure associated with several large gold deposits including Wildcat’s Hobbs Pipe gold deposit (770koz Au). Wildcat acquired the project in 2019 and commenced systematic exploration that identified anomalies at prospects including Yaven, Upper Spring Creek, Hill 303 and several targets proximal to Hobbs Pipe.

Wildcat compiled all existing data and continues to grow the geological knowledge across the district with mapping, geochemistry and geophysics programs to advance its understanding of the Hobbs Pipe mineral system and the other targets in the district. The Company’s first deep drilling outside of Hobbs Pipe, which is hosted in a mineralised monzodiorite intrusion, confirmed that Hobbs Pipe is associated with a large alteration system that extends for over 1km from Hobbs Pipe and which is associated with more monzodiorite intrusions. The Company is convinced that there are larger intrusions in the system outside of Hobbs Pipe and plans to continue to test deeper targets in the system.

The Company is actively assessing the projects in its portfolio via disciplined, systematic data compilation and exploration; and continuously assessing new opportunities via project generation and project acquisition.
