Latest Developments
Rimfire Pacific has more than doubled the size of its Broken Hill cobalt project with the acquisition of two exploration licences from fellow-listed Castillo Copper.

The Castillo tenements are situated adjacent to and cover the same host rocks as Rimfire’s Bald Hill Cobalt prospect, where recent drilling returned 125 m at 0.13% cobalt from 198 m in FI2479, including 97 m at 0.15% cobalt.

“The new tenements are prospective for cobalt, copper and rare earth elements, and we look forward to getting on the ground as soon as possible to determine the priorities for exploration follow-up at Broken Hill while . . . advancing the development of our NSW scandium projects,” MD David Hutton has said.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
None stated.
