Australian mineral exploration company Ark Mines Limited (ASX:AHK) has received the first assay results from 144-hole Stage 1 drill program at its 100% owned Sandy Mitchell Rare Earth and Heavy Minerals Project in North Queensland.

Initial assays have confirmed evidence of rare earth mineralisation in all the intervals of the holes assayed so far. Also, assays support the outlook for low-cost downstream processing recently announced beneficiation test work, which suggested the Sandy Mitchell sands make a high-grade rare earth concentrate with strong recoveries using low-cost gravity processes, highlights the update.
