Taruga Minerals Limited has reported promising early-stage exploration results from its Thowagee project in Western Australia. The company’s maiden soil geochemistry program, which included 538 soil sampling locations, has identified new trends of mineralisation under shallow cover. A dominant lead signature, with soil contours set at 150ppm Pb, is clearly outlining an extended mineralised corridor beyond the original grid area. This new data reinforces previous high-grade rock chip findings, where selected samples returned significant values—for example, assays with up to 19.7% Pb and notable concentrations of silver, zinc, and even small but promising traces of gold. In addition to the lead emphasis, the program also highlighted a distinct anomalous gold trend, with soil assays reaching as high as 92 parts per billion. This gold anomaly extends in a north-east to south-west direction and overlays a well-defined structural shear zone, as interpreted from magnetic geophysical surveys. The alignment of these geochemical results with historic mining workings and VTEM geophysical responses suggests that the Thowagee project area could host a far larger mineralised system than historical exploration had indicated. Looking ahead, Taruga Minerals Limited intends to expand its exploration efforts through additional soil and rock chip sampling, as well as planning to initiate handheld core drilling. The upcoming work will further assess the potential extensions of the mineralisation halo into the wall rock, and integrate more detailed geophysical surveys—including magnetics, gravity, and EM measurements—to better delineate the targets. The company is also moving forward with its acquisition strategy, having issued an option exercise notice to secure 100% ownership of the Thowagee project, now complementing an extensive acreage portfolio in the Northern Gascoyne province. A bullish perspective is drawn from the encouraging geochemical data that not only confirms historical mineralisation but also points to previously unidentified trends—especially the extended lead and gold anomalies—which could signal significant deposit potential. In contrast, a bearish view may note that the data remains in the early exploration stage and relies heavily on geochemical proxies and limited geophysical resolution. Further ground confirmation through core drilling and expanded surveys will be critical to reducing exploration risks and validating the economic viability of the project.
