Noronex Limited has commenced its maiden modern exploration program at the Sleitat tin-tungsten-silver project in Alaska, United States, featuring high-resolution airborne geophysics and systematic field sampling.

The work program includes approximately 250 line-kilometres of helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveying flown at 50-metre line spacing. Field activities running this week involve geological mapping, rock sampling and assaying across the northern and southern greisen zones.

Noronex is scheduled to hold a general meeting on 4 September 2026, with settlement and exercise of the option to acquire 100% of the Sleitat Project expected to complete later in the month.

“This is an exciting moment for Noronex as we move from reviewing the substantial body of historical work at Sleitat to actively exploring what we believe is a much broader tin-bearing greisen system.”

— James Thompson, Chief Executive Officer

The current evaluation program aims to integrate new geophysical and geochemical datasets alongside a detailed geological review of 1,400 metres of historical drill core stored in Anchorage. Survey results from the airborne magnetic and radiometric program are expected in approximately one month.

The company plans to use the expanded modern dataset to refine its geological interpretation and target the delivery of a maiden JORC Exploration Target during the fourth quarter of 2026. Data from the work program will feed directly into planning for a first-phase drilling campaign scheduled for the next field season.

Alongside its Alaskan operations, Noronex maintains two earn-in agreements with South32 providing up to A$20 million in funding over five years to acquire a 60% interest in the Humpback-Damara Project in Namibia and the Cgae Cgae Project in Botswana.
