The maiden resource for the Arrowsmith North deposit is expected this month

Ventnor Resources Ltd (ASX:VRX) has received positive bulk sampling test results from its flagship Arrowsmith and Muchea silica sands projects north of Perth.

The samples were taken from Muchea, Arrowsmith North, Arrowsmith Central, and Arrowsmith South.

Importantly, the results have confirmed that the projects can produce sought-after product for glassmaking.

Ventnor’s managing director Bruce Maluish said: “These test work results not only confirm our expectations for glassmaking quality sand at Arrowsmith and higher-quality sand at Muchea but also justify a further iteration of test work to investigate the potential for even higher-grade and higher-value products.”
