Five more reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totaling 837 meters (2,746 feet) were finished as part of the program extension. The emphasis was on the western portion of the Cowboy State Mine (CSM) deposit, where higher-grade rare earth mineralization was previously found.
Key Highlights:
- Five more RC drill holes were successfully finished in the CSM deposit’s western region, which is recognized for having higher-grade mineralization
- The drill cuttings are undergoing thorough geological analysis and geophysical logging
- The formal assay of the samples has been sent to ALS Global, and the results should be available soon
The previously announced extension to the 2024 drilling program focused on high-potential zones in the deposit's western portion, particularly near Red Mountain, where higher grades were confirmed. Completing these additional holes provides critical data for ongoing resource model updates and long-term project development.
The completion of these additional drill holes marks an important step forward in our exploration efforts at Halleck Creek. By targeting the western area of the CSM deposit, we are focused on high-grade zones that can significantly enhance the project’s resource potential. We are excited about the next phase of analysis and eagerly await the formal assay results, which will provide valuable data to upgrade our resource models and mine plans. With each stage, we are building a solid foundation for the future of Halleck Creek.

Next Steps
ARR's team will integrate the data into updated geological models as the geophysical logging and sample analysis proceed. The assay results, which are essential for resource estimation and future planning, are eagerly awaited. As the program progresses, ARR will keep the market updated.
