Australian Vanadium managing director Vincent Algar said: “With AVL’s primary focus being the development of the Australian Vanadium Project at Gabanintha, the option agreement offers AVL shareholders continued exposure to exploration success at the Coates and Nowthanna Hill projects in a focused exploration company.
“AVL will retain an interest in the projects and be able to benefit from the suite of potential minerals at Coates which are currently in high and growing demand and the future potential from the Nowthanna Hill Project.”
Located near Wundowie 80km north-east of Perth, WA, the Coates Project is expected to hold nickel, base metals, gold and platinum group elements (PGEs).
The Nowthanna Hill uranium project, which has a granted mining licence, is located south and south-east of the company’s Australian Vanadium Project.
