Highlights
- Lincoln Minerals to commence geochronology program at Minbrie.
- Geological insights to guide future exploration and drilling.
- Collaboration with South Australian Government advances mineral strategy.
Lincoln Minerals (ASX:LML) has partnered with South Australia’s Department for Energy and Mining to initiate a targeted geochronology program at its Minbrie Copper and Base Metals Project, located on the Eyre Peninsula. This strategic initiative is designed to enhance geological understanding of the region and streamline the next phase of mineral exploration.
The program aims to pinpoint the timing and origins of mineralisation at Minbrie, helping refine the company’s exploration model and identify structurally and lithologically significant zones. These insights will be instrumental as the company prepares for a drilling campaign set to commence in the second half of 2025.
According to company leadership, the collaboration is expected to illuminate potential links between Minbrie’s mineralisation and major regional geological events—particularly the 1.6-billion-year-old iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) episodes that influenced nearby projects like Olympic Dam and Carrapateena.
In March 2025, a team from the Geological Survey of South Australia visited Lincoln’s sites as part of the Critical Minerals South Australia initiative. During their fieldwork, they conducted an on-site review of historical drill cores at both the Kookaburra Gully Graphite and Minbrie projects. This hands-on session allowed geological teams from both parties to assess key characteristics such as alteration zones, lithological markers, and structural alignments—data that will directly feed into the new analytical campaign.
Lincoln Minerals’ commitment to a cooperative exploration framework is aligned with the broader goals of the South Australian Government, which continues to promote the development of strategically important mineral projects across the region. This cooperative approach helps accelerate the discovery of critical minerals needed for energy transition and industrial resilience.
The Minbrie Copper-Lead-Zinc Project has already demonstrated a mineralised corridor stretching over 7 kilometres, featuring multiple sulphide-rich zones. This suggests promising potential for further resource definition and future scalability.
With a market capitalisation of approximately $10.51 million, Lincoln Minerals remains focused on advancing multi-commodity critical minerals ventures in the highly prospective Gawler Craton. The upcoming drilling and analytical work positions the company to refine its geological model while aligning with key government priorities on resource development.
As companies outside the ASX200 continue to gain traction through strategic partnerships and mineral discoveries, investor interest is expected to broaden across the exploration landscape.
