Accelerate Resources has completed a high-resolution ground gravity survey across the Gingarrigan and El Largo corridors at its Woodie Woodie North Manganese Project in Western Australia, confirming that mapped high-grade manganese outcrops align with interpreted structural intersections.

The survey covered an area of approximately 4.5 by 2 kilometres within the East Pilbara project. Atlas Geophysics collected 2,440 gravity stations across the grid, which was subsequently processed and interpreted by Southern Geoscience Consultants.

When overlaid with mapped manganese occurrences, the first vertical derivative gravity data reveals a clear spatial relationship. Numerous outcrops lie directly on interpreted structures, while larger clusters concentrate in zones of structural complexity. Accelerate states that this pattern supports a fault-hosted hydrothermal manganese model, mirroring the structural controls identified at the nearby operating Woodie Woodie manganese mine.

"The gravity work has given us a much clearer picture of the structural plumbing beneath Gingarrigan and El Largo. The key result is that the manganese outcrops are not randomly distributed - many align with interpreted structures, and some of the larger outcrops occur in areas of structural intersection. That is an important observation in a district where high-grade manganese is known to be strongly structurally controlled. With gravity, LiDAR and detailed mapping now integrated, we have a much stronger geological framework for targeting the upcoming drill program."

In addition to the ground gravity work, Pegasus Airborne Systems acquired high-resolution LiDAR and orthophotography over a 7-square-kilometre core area. The company is integrating these datasets with field mapping to refine reverse circulation drill targets for the Gingarrigan-Gingerbread area.

Accelerate staked two new mineral tenements near the project on 13 May 2026. Meanwhile, regional activity across the district continues, with Trek Metals Limited announcing on 23 July 2026 that RC drilling at its South Woodie Woodie project intersected visual massive and semi-massive manganese.

The company expects to commence its maiden drilling program along the El Largo trend in September 2026, pending receipt of heritage clearance and required regulatory approvals.
