Ann: Inferred Niobium Resource from 2024 Exploration Drilling, page-23

Been keeping an irregular eye on Sentinel imagery for Aileron.

I did miss one hole at the west end of Green (tests west end of the high grade zone where Hole 83 (<=0.3% Nb) was put in earlier) and suspect it, along with the rest shown in the post above have been drilled. Probably RC. Samples likely on way, or in lab, so depending on priority given results later this month around the earliest.

Didn't notice much until the pass on 7 June when I saw three new lines at Joyce with sites approx. 160m apart. Looks to be testing the projected carbonatite defined by last year's work.



Time lapse


Looks like something happened at site 751 recently. Checked the assays and 751 didn't have anything reported above 0.2% Nb cut off.
Hole 750 results: not great but worth some follow up given the wide spacing:

	Hole ID	from (m)	to (m)	interval (m)	Nb2O5 %	TREO %
1	EAL750	30	36	6	0.3	0.1
2	EAL750	46	52	6	0.4	0.1
3	EAL750	66	86	20	0.3	0.1
4	EAL762	36	50	14	0.2	0.3

=====================
Looked around to see if anything else was obvious.
Access to Steller has been set up but no drill lines or sites.
They have connected the camp to the Steller area via extensions (dark blue) to the Hurley-Wild access set up previously.
Also added links south to the Mawson/Perce track which probably gives slightly shorter access to Green and Joyce (southern parts of the latter did already exist).

Large area to search so easy to miss some workings.
Nothing noted at Emily or Crean/Hurley...yet
