Mining
Mount Ridley is a company targeting demand driven metals in Western Australia.
Its namesake Mount Ridley Project, located within a Fraser Range sub-basin, was initially acquired for its nickel and copper sulphides potential, and is now recognised as being prospective for ionic clay REE deposits.
The Company also holds approximately 18% of the Weld Range West Iron Project in the mid-west of Western Australia. Drilling is progressively testing targets for direct-shipping iron ore. Areas of the tenements are also prospective for gold.
