Sentinel Exploration Limited has provided the following update on its five project locations in Western Australia – including recent transactions with Kula Gold and Venture Minerals on the Kirup and Iron Duke Projects respectively.
Sentinel Exploration now owns five projects in geographically diverse domains in Western Australia (Figure 1).
Exploration is at an early stage in all five projects, but substantial investigatory investment and field effort has been expended by Sentinel to date. All five projects demonstrate significant upside for economic mineralisation including battery minerals.
KIRUP is a large leasehold within a recently proven metalliferous domain. The Kirup tenements are only 20km from the giant Greenbushes lithium and tantalum mine and are transected by a mineralised shear zone suggested as the mineralising conduit for the Greenbushes accumulation. The Kirup tenements also have nickel/copper/PGE potential with a magnetic signature analogous to the recently discovered large Julimar deposit north of Perth. The Donnybrook historic gold mine is adjacent to the Sentinel Leases, indicating an active mineralisation process for gold. The leases are lightly explored.Sentinel has completed a sale and JV on the southern tenement with Kula Gold, to share the exploration risk and advance the project quicker.

Early-stage exploration by Sentinel at CUBBINE HILLS has intersected massive sulphides. Soil sampling has revealed anonymously elevated values of copper and gold along a geological contact. The tenement is bisected by a mapped shear zone and on trend with a regionally economic greenstone. All these factors suggest that this tenement has excellent potential to identify significant and possibly economic mineralisation with ongoing exploration.
MARDA EAST is a relatively small tenement but is adjacent to the 340k ounce Mount Jackson gold mining complex. The tenement has encouraging gold assays from recent surface samples. A significant magnetic anomaly in the northwest portion of the lease could suggest the presence of Banded Iron Formation (BIF), the host rock for the nearby mines.
BARLEE (Marda North) comprises four tenements in application. Although the area has been lightly explored, previous operators have identified substantial copper, nickel and gold anomalies in the area and mapped mineralised trends that extend onto Sentinel tenements.
IRON DUKE is at an early stage of exploration and satellite mineralogy plus limited soil samples suggest the possible presence of a Carbonatite, with the potential to host Rare Earth Minerals (REE). The magnetic signature of Iron Duke bears a strong resemblance to the world class Mount Weld deposit. Recently a JV was completed on this with Venture Minerals for which drilling is expected to commence soon.
