Carbine Resources Limited provided an update on its 100% owned Muchea West Silica Sands Project, Western Australia. Carbine has now completed its first drilling program at Muchea West since acquisition of the Project in July 2021. The maiden drill program was designed to: advance the information available at the time of acquisition; identify the area best suited for a Mining Licence application; and provide sufficient data to undertake an initial Mineral Resource Estimate in order to commence mining studies. The Muchea West Project is located approximately 40km north-northeast of Perth and approximately 500m to the west of Muchea. Direct access from the tenure is via the Brand Highway thence via farm tracks and fence lines. Both the Brand Highway and the Moora-Kwinana Railway provide a direct connection with the Kwinana Bulk Terminal. The upper units of the Bassendean Sand Formation are typically clean, well-rounded and well sorted sands. At depth, it is commonly brown to dark brown with high iron contents, however closer to the surface the sand is cream/white. The physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the Bassendean Sands can vary considerably, resulting in variation in the quality of the sand regionally as well as locally. In general, the Bassendean Sand Formation is covered with very little or no overburden.
