At-A-Glance
The Blanchette Property comprises two high-grade target areas with confirmed rare earth element (REE) mineralisation and additional nickel-copper potential. The area benefits from multiple pegmatite dykes ranging from 1–3 metres in width, coupled with structurally controlled Cu–Ni quartz veins.
Blanchette-1 (REE & Ni-Cu Target)
Government sampling at Blanchette-1 confirmed strong rare earth potential, with a grab sample returning 2.7% TREE, including 4,090 ppm Nd, hosted within granitic pegmatite. In addition to REE mineralisation, a separate quartz-vein sample revealed 0.25% Cu and 0.1% Ni, indicating a complementary nickel-copper system within the same structural environment. The area hosts at least three pegmatite dykes, each ranging between 1–3 metres in true width, reinforcing Blanchette-1 as a multi-commodity target with both REE and base-metal upside.
Blanchette-2 (REE-Dominant Target)
Blanchette-2 is characterised by a rare-metal–rich granitic pegmatite system. A key grab sample returned 1,741 ppm TREE, including 761 ppm Ce and 364 ppm Nd, confirming meaningful rare earth enrichment. The pegmatite also contains significant concentrations of other critical minerals, including 1,387 ppm Zr, 106 ppm Nb, 193 ppm Th, 119 ppm Y, 12 ppm Be, and 11.7 ppm Ta, pointing to a diverse rare-metal assemblage. This mineralisation is hosted within complex Zr–Nb–Th–Y–bearing granitic pegmatite, highlighting Blanchette-2 as a high-value target with strong potential for multi-element extraction.
Key Highlights
- Two confirmed REE-bearing zones with multi-element enrichment.
- Strong combination of REE + Ni–Cu targets across the property.
- Prospecting ongoing with high-priority zones mapped.
- Drill-ready for Q1 2026.
Geological Setting
Blanchette hosts rare-metal pegmatite intrusions set within paragneiss and gabbro-associated structures, creating ideal conditions for REE enrichment, Nb-Ta mineralisation, and sulphide-bearing Cu–Ni veins.
