Superior Resources Limited (ASX:SPQ) Reports Significant Progress in Q4 Activities
Operational Highlights
Superior Resources Limited reported substantial developments across its projects in the December 2024 quarter. The feasibility study for the Steam Engine Gold Project progressed significantly, indicating robust economic potential and scalability options if additional resources are identified. Newly discovered zones of gold mineralisation at the Steam Engine and Eastern Ridge lodes enhance the project’s growth outlook as the company advances toward early production within two years.
A Collaborative Exploration Initiative grant of $300,000 was awarded for the Bottletree Copper Prospect. This funding will support drilling two deep core holes, and preparations are underway for the drilling to commence in the coming months, pending weather conditions.
Furthermore, the Cockie Creek Porphyry Copper-Gold-Molybdenum prospect is nearing the completion of its maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate, with strong drilling results consistent with the project’s expectations.
Sample Processing and Assaying Updates
A total of 69 reverse-circulation holes have been drilled during the 2024 resource expansion program, yielding promising intersections of gold mineralization. However, a quality control issue arose from January 2025 assay results, leading to the decision to re-assay samples processed at a recently closed laboratory. The company is working to resolve this issue with an alternative laboratory.
Financial Summary and Capital Management
As of the end of December 2024, the company reported a cash balance of $398,000. Following a capital raise campaign that gathered $1.18 million through a Rights Issue, the board is optimistic about future funding opportunities. The company continues to monitor its cash flows, especially due to anticipated wet weather impacting exploration activities.
