Lanthanein Resources Ltd (ASX:LNR, OTC:FRNRF) has outlined plans for a targeted soil geochemical sampling program at the Hart Bore area of its Lyons Project (E09/2515) in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, following a detailed review of historic exploration data.
Lyons (E09/2515) and Edmund (E09/2516) Project, Gascoyne WA.
The company’s desktop assessment covered historical gold and base metals exploration conducted in the 1980s and 1990s by major operators including BHP Minerals, Newmont Australia and Newcrest Mining. Past work identified significant geochemical, magnetic and radiometric anomalies, supported by auger and rotary air blast drilling that returned anomalous gold, base metals and rare earth element values.
The upcoming program will focus on areas of gold and base metals anomalism, with sampling to be conducted on 1,000-metre line spacing and 200-metre sample intervals, totalling 200 samples.

Assaying will be undertaken by LabWest Minerals Analysis Pty Ltd using the UltraFine+ method, which analyses the <2µm fraction for 53 elements. The technique, now widely adopted in surface exploration, is designed to enhance detection of subtle geochemical signals beneath shallow to moderate cover, offering improved signal-to-background ratios and sensitivity for metal concentrations.
Lanthanein said the program aims to refine exploration targeting within the Lyons Project as part of its broader Gascoyne exploration strategy.
