Tempest Minerals Ltd (ASX:TEM) has identified “numerous zones of interest” and several potential high-priority drill targets during a large-scale electromagnetic survey carried out at its 100%-owned Yalgoo Project in Western Australia.
Notably, the work has uncovered an anomaly coincident with the 4-kilometre-long Remorse base metal target within the project area.

Yalgoo covers 1,000 square kilometres in the Murchison region, about 500 kilometres north of Perth, and has exhibited a proven potential for critical and precious metals in the past.
The project contains different geological domains, namely Messenger, Meleya, War West and Euro.
In 2022, Tempest completed a number of drill programs and intersected multiple zones of polymetallic mineralisation, including copper, nickel and rare earth elements (REE).

Refining data
The EM survey was undertaken to assess Meleya and War West, where the company has been actively exploring through data analysis, fieldwork and drilling.
The work included more than 2,000 kilometres of line survey measurements, generating high-quality preliminary data, which the company will continue to process using different parameters and models to harvest further targets and detail.
The ASX-lister is targeting commencement of drilling at Remorse in the first quarter of next year.
