As in the previous year, Mr Kwesi Appiah, CGSG's Business Development Manager and Senior Geologist Africa, provided technical knowledge and oversight as well as QA/QC and reporting services. Specific duties included:

Review and QA/QC of project deliverables such as geochemical anomaly maps, technical reports and manuals as well as planned activities.
Field inspections and reviews.
Preparation of training materials and contribution to training activities.
Attending and contributing to management meetings on the progress of and planning of future activities regarding the Geochemical Survey Arabian Shield (GSAS) project.

CGSG is looking forward to another exciting year in Saudi Arabia in 2025.

31 December 2024 - It has been a busy year for Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") assisting Tri-Star Group in its exploration work at the Saxony Minerals project in the well-endowed Ore Mountains region, eastern Germany.

The company’s principal target commodities in Saxony are greisen-, stockwork- and skarn-hosted Sn-W-(Li) and vein-hosted F-Ba systems with additional demonstrated potential for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE systems. The exploration across the project, which consists of 12 licenses for >1,500 km2, is at various stages and ranges from preliminary exploration activities to drill-ready targets.

10 December 2023 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce that Mr Kwesi Appiah’s involvement in the regional geological survey program for Saudi Arabia is ongoing.

Kwesi, CGSG's Business Development Manager and Senior Geologist Africa, continues to provide technical knowledge and oversight as well as QA/QC and reporting services in relation to a regional (600,000 km2) geochemical survey of the Arabian Shield on behalf of the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS).

08 December 2023 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") wishes to congratulate 92 Energy Ltd (ASX:92E) on the three-way merger between ATHA Energy Corp, 92 Energy Ltd and Latitude Uranium Inc as announced to the ASX today. This merger will create Canada’s premier uranium exploration company and one of the most exciting and best funded uranium exploration ventures worldwide.

CGSG is proud to have laid the technical foundation for the creation of 92 Energy Ltd and the company’s highly successful move into the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Some of the initial technical and generative work completed by CGSG is summarised in a landmark paper by Bruce et al. entitled “Unconformity-type uranium systems: A comparative review and predictive modelling of critical genetic factors.”

20 November 2023 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") wishes to congratulate Plutonic Ltd (unlisted) on securing a $2M investment from Lion Selection Group Ltd (ASX:LSX).

According to Lion, Plutonic’s exploration work during 2023 at its wholly owned Champion project in the Northern Territory has identified the potential for never-before considered mineral systems over a large area, providing the basis for large exploration targets which could lead to district scale discoveries.

Plutonic is a key investment to Lion for the unique leverage to discovery it provides. A discovery of gold or copper mineralisation at Champion could result in meaningful value creation, which Lion has a strong exposure to via its high percentage ownership. This investment has been made for a low cost and currently represents a small proportion of Lion’s overall value. Robin Widdup, Lion Founder and Director said: “Lion is very pleased to be following its initial investment in Plutonic. The Champion district has taken an exciting turn during 2023 and it’s hard to think of as large targets anywhere else in Australia.”

CGSG is proud to have laid the technical and corporate foundation for the creation of Plutonic and the company’s move into what is arguably one of Australia’s last mineral exploration frontiers. We wish Plutonic the best of success for their 2024 exploration campaign.

10 October 2023 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") wishes to congratulate Tri-Star Group on becoming one of the largest holders of exploration acreage in the German state of Saxony.

Tri-Star’s Saxony Minerals project covers 9 exploration licences in the the Ore Mountain (Erzgebirge) region, a prolific polymetallic belt with an 800+ year mining heritage and a world-class endowment in uranium, tin, tungsten, lithium and silver as well as excellent potential for discovery of intrusion-related gold systems.

The target commodities in Tri-Star’s licences include antinomy, tin, gold, tungsten, lithium, silver, base metals, platinum, palladium, uranium and cobalt. The exploration is at various stages across these licences and ranges from preliminary exploration activities to drill-ready targets. Tri-Star’s exploration efforts strongly align with the European Union’s goal of developing domestic resources to reduce reliance on imports.

CGSG is proud to have laid the technical foundation for Tri-Star’s move into this exciting exploration search space.

03 September 2023 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed a 4-month-long geological framework and targeting study of the entire country of Ghana on behalf of one of the largest gold mining companies in the world.

28 April 2022 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is excited about a 2 km-long gold- and copper-in-soil anomaly that has been identified by its client Bulletin Resources Ltd (ASX:BNR) at its Chifley gold project. This project was generated by CGSG as part of a targeting study of the BNR’s Lake Rebecca gold project and surrounds undertaken in 2020 (see news item dated 29 April 2020).

As per BNR’s March 2022 Quarterly Report, the Chifley gold project (E 28/3002) is c. 50 km S of the company’s Lake Rebecca project and on a NW-SE-striking splay off the Claypan Fault, a lithospheric-scale structure that hosts gold mineralisation such as at the nearby 1.7 Moz Lake Roe gold deposit owned by Breaker Resources NL (ASX:BRB).

A recent 800 m by 200 m grid pattern soil sampling program completed by BNR identified a 2 km-long target of coincident gold and copper anomalism over interpreted mafic and ultramafic sequences on the northern flank of a large granite pluton. Infill soil sampling of this anomalous area is planned prior to aircore drilling.

28 April 2022 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed a detailed assessment of the Western Australian mining and mineral exploration sectors and ways to invest and/or participate in these sectors. This work was undertaken on behalf of a mid-tier client that is contemplating entry into the Western Australian resources sector.

22 December 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed a second lithostructural (solid geology) interpretation and targeting study on behalf of Sipa Resources Ltd (ASX:SRI). The study covered Sipa’s Warralong Project and surrounds, a large greenfields property in the northern Pilbara Craton, Western Australia. The Warralong Project, which is centered upon the crustal-scale Lalla Rookh Shear Zone, is prospective for gold and lithium.

CGSG delivered a new solid geology map for the area of interest using all available geological and exploration data, including (but not limited to) relevant scientific and government publications, published geology maps, WAMEX reports, and geochemistry, geophysical and drill hole information. Key findings of this work included, for example, (i) the identification of two releasing bends along the regionally significant Lalla Rookh Shear Zone that manifest themselves as kilometer-scale ‘horsetail splays’, (ii) the recognition of distinct fault-fracture corridors oblique to orthogonal to the Lalla Rookh Shear Zone, (iii) the identification of hundreds of greenstone slivers ‘caught up’ in one of the horsetail splays off the Lalla Rookh Shear Zone, and (iv) the generation of 8 target areas.

13 December 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it was again engaged by St Barbara Ltd (ASX:SBM). This multi-month, multi-consultant study was designed to generate (i) seamless, enhancement filtered gravity, magnetic, radiometric and remote sensing products, (ii) a new lithostructural (solid geology) map, (iii) conceptual and targeting models for orogenic gold systems, and (iv) state-of-the-art gold prospectivity models, covering the Leonora district and surrounds, an area of >27,000 km2 in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of the Archean Yilgarn Craton,

The targets generated in this study include a mix of broader target areas (e.g., highly prospective yet comparatively underexplored greenstone segments) as well as a set of discrete targets covering strata and structural settings that are typically mineralised elsewhere in the Yilgharn Craton.

The above work was undertaken in collaboration with our geophysical partner organisation Fathom Geophysics.

29 November 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed a detailed field review of high priority gold and base metals prospects at the Brook, Ravenswood and EinGold Projects held by Kronos Gold LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Tri-Star Group.

The field review targeted prospects highlighted in prior desktop reviews conducted in late 2020 and early- to mid-2021. Geological and structural mapping was completed at three priority targets.

02 August 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") wishes to congratulate its client Bulletin Resources Ltd (ASX:BNR) on further greenfields exploration success at the Lake Rebecca gold project. According to BNR’s ASX Announcement, recent aircore “drilling by the company has discovered several mineralised gold zones in regolith now over a 7 km long strike.” The drilling targeted prospective fold structures identified in a previous study jointly undertaken by CGSG and Fathom Geophysics.

The drilled area is dominated by transported lake clays that are between 5 and 80 m thick. According to BNR, “much of the saprolite or weathered rock profile has been eroded away in parts by the more recent lake sediments, leaving minimal material that could have retained any supergene gold dispersion as a signature for deeper mineralisation. This localised lack of saprolite in parts of the drilled area is interpreted to have limited the effectiveness of aircore drilling in these areas and alternative methods to test these areas such as RC drilling or geophysical testing will be required as follow up.”

The mineralised intercepts returned from its recent AC drilling program have a comparable gold tenor and extent to the >0.10 g/t Au surface anomaly that led to the discovery of the nearby >1 Moz Au Rebecca gold deposit cluster by Apollo Consolidated Ltd (ASX:AOP).

Basement rock types intercepted in the aircore drilling are granodiorite, tonalite, ultramafics and amphibolite. These lithologies are the same as those seen further south and west in drilling along the Rebecca gold trend. This supports the interpretation by CGSG that the older Rebecca Complex has been separated into two parts by a younger granite.

12 July 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed (i) a detailed assessment of the Kimba uranium and polymetallic project, southern Gawler Craton, South Australia, and (ii) an associated generative study that lead to the identification of several new uranium, gold, graphite and iron ore exploration areas.

The study also lead to the client lodging over 20 new tenement applications for a total of almost 20,000 km2, prospective for a variety of commodities, in particular uranium, gold and base metals. Once the tenements are granted, the client will be one of the dominant landholders in the well-endowed Frome Basin and southern Gawler Craton.

The assessment and targeting work was undertaken on behalf of Tri-Star Group, an exploration and production company that actively participates in Australia’s resources industry and the Texas petroleum industry by exploring and unlocking frontier energy and mineral resources.

05 May 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed “Stage 2” of an independent assessment of the EinGold (Georgetown Inlier, North Queensland), Ravenswood and Brook (Lolworth-Ravenswood Batholith, North Queensland) gold projects held by Kronos Gold LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Tri-Star Group.

The work completed by CGSG included (i) a detailed review of past exploration, (ii) database compilation, (iii) geological data interpretation, including lithostructural (solid geology) interpretations, (iv) target identification and ranking, and (v) development of a target pipeline and whole-of-tenure exploration strategy.

The work was undertaken in collaboration with Ms Connie Parkinson, a database specialist at Seven Stone Consulting, and Dr Matt Bruce, a structural geology and GIS specialist at MDB Geoconsulting.

15 March 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is pleased to announce it completed a lithostructural (solid geology) interpretation and targeting study of Sipa Resources Ltd’s (ASX:SRI) Skeleton Rocks gold and nickel-copper project and surrounds, southeastern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia.

11 February 2021 - Corporate Geoscience Group ("CGSG") is excited about the AC drilling results announced today by its client Bulletin Resources Ltd (ASX:BNR). According to BNR’s ASX Announcement, the company identified a new, greater 2.4 km-long gold zone at its Lake Rebecca project, following up targets generated in a previous study jointly undertaken by CGSG and Fathom Geophysics.

Significant gold intercepts include, for example, 2 m @ 2.72 g/t Au from 33 m (incl. 1 m @ 4.86 g/t Au from 33 m) in hole 20LRAC087, 7 m @ 0.73 g/t Au from 76 m (incl. 1 m @ 2.03 g/t Au from 82 m to EOH) in hole 20LRAC169, or 8 m @ 0.51 g/t Au from 28 m in hole 20LRAC088.

The elevated gold grades in saprolite are considered by BNR as a possible supergene gold blanket above bedrock-hosted mineralisation. As discussed by BNR, the mineralised intercepts returned from its recent AC drilling program have a comparable gold tenor and extent to the >0.10 g/t Au surface anomaly that led to the discovery of the nearby >1 Moz Au Rebecca gold deposit cluster by Apollo Consolidated Ltd (ASX:AOP).

Planning is now underway by BNR to commence RC drilling beneath the supergene gold blanket and follow up additional targets along strike.
