Let’s take a look at the outlook for this ASX rare earths share.
What’s ahead?
Meteoric is exploring the Caldeira Rare Earth Element (REE) project in Brazil, a project with 30 licenses.
In an announcement on 1 May, Meteoric advised the project has a maiden mineral resource of 409 million tonnes at 2,626 parts per million (ppm) TREO.
Meteoric described the Caldeira project as the “worldâs Highest Grade Ionic Adsorption Clay REE Deposit”.
Argonaut associate dealer Harrison Massey recommends Meteoric Resources as a buy. He noted the company’s global resource estimate and further drilling planned at the Caldeira Project.
Commenting on The Bull, he said:
The company has planned a further 100,000 metres of air core and diamond drilling to target high grade areas within the current resource model. The company is in the process of acquiring further licences surrounding the deposit.
MEI is well capitalised with $A25 million in the bank.
Earlier this month, Meteoric updated the market with a drilling update at the Caldeira Project. Eight of 11 new diamond holes showed a “significant depth extension of the target clay zone beneath the historic auger holes”.
Commenting on the news, executive chairman Dr Andrew Tunks said:
Current drilling indicates an increase in the thickness of the target clay zone of up to 45m beneath the historic auger drilling.
Clearly this shows that there remains considerable potential for additional REE mineralisation beneath the historic drilling.
