Argonaut Resources NL announced that an application under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 (AHA) has been approved by the South Australian Government. This authorisation allows Argonaut to proceed with a major exploration drilling program around the western shoreline of Lake Torrens and Andamooka Island. The drilling program will target iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) copper mineralisation in the style of Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and BHP's recent Oak Dam discovery. The Government has approved an application by Argonaut's 100% held subsidiary, Kelaray Pty Ltd, under the AHA. This is the final approval required to undertake a major drilling program around the western shoreline of Lake Torrens, as well as on the lake itself. The approval covers exploration drilling plus resource and reserve definition drilling. The authorisation area covers all areas within EL5937 and EL5945 that require specific AHA approval, including all IOCG targets within nearshore and offshore domains.
