Medaro Mining Commences Ground Fieldwork at Clay Howells West Rare Earth Element Project, Ontario

MEDA · Price
Executive Summary
- Medaro Mining Corp. has commenced Phase 1 ground fieldwork at its Clay Howells West rare earth element (REE) project in northern Ontario.
- The exploration program aims to advance geological understanding through systematic radiometric surveying, geological mapping, prospecting, and geochemical sampling to generate and prioritize future exploration targets.
- Approximately 50 to 100 rock samples and 100 to 200 soil samples are expected to be collected and submitted to an accredited laboratory for multi-element analysis, including REEs.
Key Details
- Project Location: Clay Howells West REE project, located approximately 50 km north-northeast of Kapuskasing, northern Ontario.
- Program Phase: Phase 1 exploration program focused on target generation and prioritization.
- Field Activities: Ground-based radiometric surveying (gamma-ray spectrometer/scintillometer for total count, potassium, uranium, and thorium), reconnaissance geological mapping and prospecting (lithological contacts, structural features, alteration zones, radiometric anomalies), targeted rock sampling (grab and channel samples), and soil geochemical sampling over accessible targets and follow-up grids.
- Sample Volumes: ~50 to 100 rock samples and ~100 to 200 soil samples, subject to weather, access, exposure, and logistical conditions.
- Laboratory Analysis: Samples will be submitted to an accredited analytical laboratory for multi-element analysis, including rare earth elements.
- Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Standard QA/QC program including sample documentation, location recording, chain-of-custody protocols, and insertion of field duplicates. Results will be reviewed by the Company and its Qualified Person prior to disclosure.
- Geological Context: Project sits within the broader Clay-Howells alkalic intrusive/carbonatite complex, characterized by syenites, carbonatites, massive magnetite units, and fault-altered breccias. Historical regional datasets indicate magnetic and radiometric anomalies, with historical exploration dating back to the 1950s. The project is considered prospective for REEs but remains at an early stage requiring additional work.
- Qualified Person: Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a consultant to the Company, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.
Notable Quotes
- Mark Ireton, Chief Executive Officer and Director: "The commencement of ground fieldwork at Clay Howells West represents an important step in advancing Medaro's understanding of the Project through a systematic and disciplined exploration approach. By integrating field radiometric surveying, geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling, Medaro aims to identify and prioritize areas for potential follow-up exploration."
