Mining Licence Application Lodged
Victory Metals Limited (ASX:VTM) (Victory or the Company) is pleased to announce the submission
of a Mining Licence application with Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety
over its 100% owned North Stanmore Heavy Rare Earth Element (HREE) project located in Western
Australia, approximately 6km north of Cue, with sealed road access via the Great Northern Highway.
The Mining Licence application area covers approximately 2006 hectare (ha).
Key Highlights:
•
Mining Licence application lodged for the North Stanmore Heavy Rare Earth Elements
(HREE) Project, the largest ionic regolith clay hosted indicated heavy rare earth element
resource in Australia.1
•
The Mining Licence application underpins the Company's strategic development plans,
including advancing discussions for partnership and offtake agreements.
•
The project boasts a substantial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 235 million tonnes,
including 79,200 tonnes of Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) and 28,000 tonnes of Heavy
Rare Earth Oxides (HREO).2
•
The near-surface high-grade domain of 45.9 million tonnes at 1,050 ppm TREO supports
rapid development for the global supply of critical materials.3
•
92% of Victory’s tenement area contiguous with North Stanmore deposit hosting
exploration potential with mineralisation open in all directions.
Victory’s CEO and Executive Director Brendan Clark, commented:
“Lodging the Mining Licence application for our North Stanmore heavy rare earth project marks a
pivotal moment in Victory Metals journey. This step not only confirms our commitment to advancing
this world-class resource but also positions us strategically to contribute significantly to the global
supply of critical materials essential for the energy transition and national defence. Our focus now
is on finalising the scoping study and accelerating partnerships that will potentially bring this project
to fruition, ensuring a steady supply of ethically sourced rare earths."
