Julimar West Project
WYX through its wholly owned subsidiary WYX Aus Pty Ltd (WYX AUS), has a 100% interest in the application for exploration license ELA 70/5111 (Julimar West Project). The project covers a total area of 349km2 within the Darling Ranges located approximately 75km northeast of Perth, Western Australia.
The Julimar West Project is geologically within the Western Gneiss Terrane along the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The Yilgarn Craton is host to numerous precious and base metal deposits (i.e., gold, nickel, iron, bauxite and tantalite) which includes the Kalgoorlie, Southern Cross, Leonora, Meekatharra and Wiluna gold mining centres. Within the Yilgarn Craton, nickel is also sourced from Mount Keith, Kambalda, Lake Johnston, Forrestania and Ravensthorpe areas, whilst iron is derived predominantly from Koolyanobbing, Koolanooka, Weld Range and Tallering Peak in the central/west Yilgarn. In addition, bauxite is currently mined at Huntley and Willowdale from the Darling Ranges south of Perth. The Darling Ranges area is considered to be a highly prospective geological region for bauxite, PGE, nickel and copper mineralisation.
The southern portion of the ELA lies immediately adjacent to, and west of, Chalice Mining Limited’s Julimar deposit within the Gonneville Intrusive, which was discovered in 2020. The northern part of the ELA lies in proximity to Caspin Resources Limited’s Yarawindah Brook Project, where initial drilling has outlined a package of mafic and ultramafic rocks extending over a 6km strike length with anomalous levels of PGE, nickel and copper.
