Fe Limited’s (ASX:FEL) partner Auris Minerals (ASX:AUR) is planning to drill two diamond holes to test the Wodger and Forrest prospects in Western Australia’s Bryah Basin.
The prospects are within the Forrest Project, in which Fe holds a 20% interest along with Auris (80%) and is free carried until a decision to mine.
Last month, Auris intersected further zones of copper from the second phase of drilling at the Wodger prospect.

The drilling highlights Include 78 metres at 0.35% copper including 15 metres at 1.17% copper and 0.11 g/t gold from 138 metres.
The new drill program has been designed to test the new conductor at Wodger and the interpreted eastern limb and surface electromagnetic (EM) conductor at Forrest.
Auris’ drilling is targeting broad copper-rich mineralisation of massive sulphides and mineralised breccia identified at Wodger.
Rigs will be mobilised over the weekend and drilling is set to commence early next week.
Wade Evans, chief executive officer, said: “We are excited to be testing the Wodger downhole EM plate, identified downdip of high-grade mineralisation in both WDRC005 and WDRC010 in the coming weeks and look forward to the results from testing the “eastern limb” target at the Forrest prospect with its corresponding ground EM conductor.”
