V Ten Metals Corp. has completed its first round of field geochemical soil sampling at the Tanami Property in the Northern Territory of Australia.

The program focused on exploration license EL 23848, targeting rare earth element mineralization around the margins of the Billabong Complex using a partial leach survey. The work comprised approximately 180 ultra-fine soil samples collected at 400-metre intervals along nine lines spaced 2.5 kilometres apart. Partial funding for the program was provided through a grant of $24,393 from the Northern Territory Department of Mining, Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program.

The broader 1,237-square-kilometre property consists of four semi-contiguous granted exploration licenses situated in the Tanami Desert approximately 450 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs. Part of the property is held under an exploration farm-in and joint venture agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Corporation.

“The soil sampling went very well and samples are now in transit to the labs. I look forward to providing the Geochem results when they are received from the labs.”

— Blair Way, Company President and Director

The collected samples are currently in transit to laboratories for analysis, with results expected upon completion of testing.
