Tempest Minerals Ltd (ASX:TEM) is preparing to set the drills turning on an exploration program at the Remorse Copper Target (NYSE:TGT) within its Yalgoo Project in Western Australia.

Expanded drilling design

Preliminary approval is in for drilling at the central area of the 4-kilometre-long base metal and geophysical target.

TEM’s ground-truthing work has prompted it to expand the program design to around 5,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling with approvals for this in the final stages and work should start in June or July.

The Yalgoo Project spans more than 1,000 square kilometres of highly prospective tenements for base and precious metals, and TEM’s recent exploration efforts have put the company on the scent of new mineralisation.

TEM has prioritised the Remorse and Sanity targets, with the Remorse site previously revealing significant copper and zinc anomalies and an overlapping geophysical anomaly.

Phase 1 of the drilling, based on initial geochemistry results, involved testing specific structural targets and received approval in the first quarter of 2024.

Further geological mapping in the same quarter indicated a larger target zone, prompting the design of the expanded drilling program.

The next steps for TEM include securing the remaining approvals, completing heritage surveys, awarding drilling contracts and kicking off the expanded RC drilling program at the Remorse target.
