en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nimy Resources (ASX:NIM) has identified gold anomalies accompanied by pathfinder elements including arsenic, antimony, bismuth, molybdenum, silver, tellurium, and tungsten, following the analysis of 3,076 soil samples.
Managing Director Luke Hampson stated that the company is encouraged by the gold potential of the area now referred to as the Mons Greenstone Belt. He noted that the coherence and intensity of gold anomalies and pathfinder elements in the soil support the presence of gold mineralization in the region. Analysis of 9,222 soil samples is ongoing, and the company has initiated the design of an initial drilling program to explore the specific sources of the gold anomalies. Hampson expects a very active field program in the second half of 2026, driven concurrently by gold exploration at the target area, metallurgical testing and economic studies for the gallium project at Block 3, and geophysical work to determine the sources of the Masson copper-nickel-platinum group elements and the Sneaky Squirrel copper-zinc-gold mineralization.
Since China imposed export controls on gallium in 2023, global interest in the mineral has continued to rise. Nimy Resources plans to establish a primary source of gallium at Block 3, rather than relying on its conventional production as a by-product of alumina and zinc. The block has already identified ore bodies with outstanding grades, and gallium is critical for computer chips, artificial intelligence, and defense technology. Meanwhile, gold has emerged as another exploration opportunity in the Mons area, with soil geochemistry results highlighting the potential of a new mineralized system.
Nimy Resources believes the Mons Belt holds multi-commodity potential. In addition to the Masson copper-nickel-cobalt-platinum group elements massive sulfide mineral system first discovered in late 2023, and the high-grade gallium at Block 3 in the northern tenements, the newly named Corporate James prospect provides further direction. Previous exploration results in the Corporate James area, which hosts komatiitic nickel mineralization, have confirmed the gold prospectivity of the eastern margin (adjacent to younger granites). Soil gold anomalies are coherently distributed along a corridor approximately 16 kilometers long, which runs parallel to the eastern granite-greenstone contact zone and continues for an additional 85 kilometers (untested). These results are interpreted as highlighting strong potential for orogenic gold and intrusion-related gold deposits. Gold and pathfinder element anomalies were identified over a strike length of more than approximately 16 kilometers, with the Corporate James prospect returning the highest anomalous values over a 720-meter north-south strike.
The newly discovered Mons Belt is located 370 kilometers northeast of Perth and 140 kilometers north-northwest of Southern Cross, within a Tier 1 jurisdiction in Western Australia. The area encompasses 17 tenements, covering over 300 square kilometers of the northern Forrestania Greenstone Belt, with a north-south strike of approximately 80 kilometers. Amid strong demand for strategic minerals in Western countries and sustained demand for gold, Nimy Resources believes this represents a regional-scale discovery.
Design work for the drilling test program has commenced in preparation for drilling in the upcoming quarter. Extending soil sampling along the Corporate James strike has become a priority, while the company is simultaneously integrating a large volume of new data into its geological and geophysical databases. Other targets generated from this process will be scheduled for further sampling.
