South Australia-focused Havilah Resources has entered into an initial six-month collaborative research agreement with the University of South Australia (UniSA) relating to the recovery of rare earth elements (REE) from its Kalkaroo saprolite gold ore.
The research will seek to establish whether it is possible to economically recover REE as a by-product from the Kalkaroo copper and gold ores.
Test sample material will come from Havilah’s recent shallow drill holes at West Kalkaroo, which have encountered highly elevated levels of REE in association with economic grades of gold and native copper mineralisation.
