en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australia's Daly Resources (ASX:DLY) has expanded the priority exploration area of its Huckitta fluorite project in the Northern Territory after completing early field observations.
The Huckitta project covers approximately 3,812 square kilometers and is prospective for fluorite and sediment-hosted copper mineralization. The company stated that geological mapping and surface observations have identified multiple additional vein structures beyond the known fluorite occurrences, and some samples have been prioritized for laboratory analysis following early field work.
Historically, fluorite exploration in the area was mainly limited to previously reported occurrences. Recent geological mapping has identified additional areas for follow-up, expanding the priority zones undergoing field assessment. The company noted that these observations will help refine future exploration planning, pending laboratory analysis results. The company has completed rock chip sampling and trial soil sampling lines north of the known fluorite occurrences to assess whether soil geochemistry can help detect potential extensions of vein systems beneath thin cover.
Detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys covering 3,200 line kilometers have been completed, with data processing underway, as announced on June 30, 2026. Executive Chairman Mike Edwards stated that early field work since listing has helped deepen understanding of the project area. Edwards said: "With the airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys also completed, we look forward to integrating this data once results are obtained and using this information to guide the next phase of exploration."
The company expects to receive results from laboratory analysis and airborne geophysical surveys in the coming weeks, and stated that these results will be combined with surface mapping to refine geological target identification. Daly Resources holds exploration rights covering over 6,500 square kilometers in the Northern Territory, including the Huckitta, Broughton, and Batten projects, focusing on fluorite, copper, and zinc.
