Rimfire Pacific Mining Embarks on Significant Scandium Drilling Effort at Murga Prospect

Rimfire Pacific Mining has launched a 4,000-metre aircore drilling program at its Murga Scandium Prospect, located within the company's Fifield Project, roughly 70 kilometres northwest of Parkes in the Lachlan Orogen region of central New South Wales.

The drilling at Murga aims to delineate the extent and continuity of scandium mineralization, following on from previous successful reconnaissance drilling that identified significant scandium anomalies. The Murga prospect, characterized by its weathered horizon over magnetic ultramafic rocks, remains largely unexplored for scandium, despite the regional interest in nickel, cobalt, gold, and platinum mineralization.

Rimfire's exploration strategy extends beyond Murga, targeting a series of critical mineral prospects within the Fifield Ultramafic Zone. This region, spanning over 50 kilometres, contains volcaniclastics, sediments, and mafic-ultramafic intrusive units, suggesting a high potential for scandium-bearing host rocks yet to be extensively explored.
