澳洲矿业勘探公司Accelerate Resources在西澳大利亚实现重大进展，同时推进锰矿和黄金两条战线。该公司的Woodie Woodie North项目在皮尔巴拉地区发现了高品位锰矿化体，岩心样品锰含量达到58.4%、57.6%和55.6%，均显著超过澳洲现有运营矿山约40%的品位水平[1]。公司首席执行官Luke Meter表示："我们已经绘制了200多个锰露头和矿点，圈定了约9.7公顷的锰矿化露头"[1]。该项目已识别的Rancor矿体露头面积达1公顷，厚度达10米[1]。
Woodie Woodie North项目目前已有资源量120万吨，品位19.1%锰，并圈定了530万吨至1070万吨的勘探目标，品位范围为10%至19%[1]。该矿点距Port Hedland港260公里，距运营商Consolidated Minerals的现有矿山仅55公里[1]。与此同时，Accelerate Resources的旗舰项目Balagundi在卡尔古利东部金田区继续有所斩获，其Spencers矿点从36米深处获得了厚度达28米的矿体，品位为1.01克/吨金[1]。
Accelerate Resources has achieved significant exploration breakthroughs across two projects in Western Australia, establishing itself as a dual-commodity operator spanning both critical minerals and precious metals.[1] The company's Woodie Woodie North manganese project in the Pilbara region has identified high-grade mineralization, with core samples returning manganese grades of 58.4%, 57.6%, and 55.6%—substantially exceeding the approximately 40% grades produced by Australia's two existing operating manganese mines.[1] The company has now mapped more than 200 manganese outcrops and occurrences defining around 9.7 hectares of mineralized manganese exposure, according to CEO Luke Meter.[1]
The Woodie Woodie North project has defined an initial mineral resource of 1.2 million tonnes grading 19.1% manganese, with exploration targets estimated at 530 million to 10.7 million tonnes grading between 10% and 19% manganese.[1] The Rancor ore body encompasses 1 hectare of outcrop with thickness reaching 10 metres.[1] The project is located 260 kilometres from Port Hedland and 55 kilometres from Consolidated Minerals' operating mine, positioning it favourably for potential development.[1] Simultaneously, Accelerate's flagship Balagundi gold project in the Kalgoorlie East goldfield continues to deliver shallow, high-grade gold results, with the Spencers prospect returning a 28-metre-thick ore body grading 1.01 grams per tonne gold from 36 metres depth.[1]
