American Rare Earths announced that the Halleck Creek drilling program which commences later this month aims to upgrade the JORC resource estimates. The Company will commence a 23-hole drilling program at the Overton Mountain sub-area of the Halleck Creek REE Project in mid-September of 2023. The program will include eight diamond core holes and 15 reverse circulation (RC) holes.

Seven of the diamond core holes will extend to 80m (262ft) depth, with one deep hole extending to 305m (1000ft), and all 15 RC holes extending to 100m (330ft) depth. Highlights: Drilling permits approved and drilling to commence mid-September. Program to focus on high-grade areas designed to upgrade existing JORC Resource.

Planned drilling includes 865m (2,837ft) in eight core holes, and 1,500m (4,920ft) in 15 reverse circulation holes. Deposit remains open at depth and width. The drilling program will test mineralization to depths over 300 metres, more than twice current resource estimated depths.

With only 25% of the deposit drilled to date the Company is also advancing exploration activities into surrounding claims, with additional drilling planned following receipt of further drill permits.
