Partnership with Advanced Energy Fuels Inc (AEFI)

The Hendeka Manganese Project, located in the Pilbara, Western Australia (Figure 1) hosts Woodie Woodie style hydrothermal manganese deposits. 

Trek and partner AEFI are investigating the production of high grade manganese concentrate and additional processing to create manganese sulphate (feedstock for the lithium-ion battery market). 

Trek acquired the Hendeka Project in November 2022. Located in a Tier-1 mining district, the project is located south of the high-grade Woodie Woodie manganese mining operation owned and operated by Consolidated Minerals.

Hendeka has a JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 11.3Mt grading 15.0% Mn for the Contact and Contact North deposits (Refer ASX Release 6 June 2022) with immediate drill targets for both resource extensions and new discoveries.

Metallurgical beneficiation test work was previously undertaken by Spitfire Resources Ltd, on PQ diamond core in collaboration with Mineral Engineering Technical Services (METS) to maximise recovery and grade. Composite intervals were put through a scrubbing test to remove slimes before being separated into fines and lump and then passed through Dense Media Separation (DMS) to remove additional waste. After the DMS tests, the final grade and yield of both products was determined. Based on the results of the test work, a product grading up to 44.6% can be produced (refer Appendix 1 and ASX: SPI 17 February 2012 for additional information).

Partnership with Devex Resources (ASX:DEV)

The Jimblebar Project comprises over 200km2 of granted tenements on the northern flanks of the highly fertile Sylvania Dome, adjacent to known occurrences of copper sulphide mineralisation at the Copper Knob prospect and chromite at the historical Coobina chromite mine. 

The project is considered prospective for a range of base and precious metal opportunities.

Hampton Hill Mining NL intersected semi-massive nickel-copper sulphide with 2 metres returning 1.36% nickel & 0.62% Cu from 54m in drill-hole CP007 at the Millipede East Prospect (WAMEX A089942, Figure 1). These results are indicative of a fertile magmatic sulphide system at Millipede East. The defined mineralisation correlates with modelled EM plates. The defined plates plunge in a south-easterly direction and there is potential for additional mineralisation at depth.

​Previous drilling at Millipede West did not intersect the modelled downhole EM conductive plates and represents a compelling nickel-copper sulphide target (Figures 1 & 2).

Additional to the nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation the Jimblebar Project is also highly prospective for gold, sediment-hosted base metals, and iron ore.

Gold mineralisation in the district is known to be structurally controlled where subsidiary structures cross-cut major faults, shears and lithological contacts. The various Jimblebar historic gold mines and occurrences were explored extensively by Warwick Resources and Atlas Iron from 2003 to 2014. Warwick also completed a gradient array IP geophysics survey across the main workings Shearers, Sunny South and Pilliwinkle (Figure 3). The tenement covers the southern extension of the Sunny South Prospect which is located north of the company’s tenement boundary. The mineralisation at Sunny South is hosted by a 30m to 50m wide felsic to intermediate intrusive that occurs stratigraphically above the banded iron formation (BIF) and dips moderately to the east.

John Beeson of Jigsaw Geoscience reviewed the controls on mineralisation at Jimblebar and observed the gold mineralisation to be associated with a strongly pyritic and quartz-veined dacite porphyry intrusive. These intrusive rocks are interpreted by Beeson to be reminiscent of ‘mafic-series’ granitoids intimately associated with gold mineralization in the Yilgarn Craton for example Granny Smith and Sunrise Dam.

The Jimblebar Project (E52/3605, E52/3672 & ELA52/3983, Figure 4) is located 40km south-east of Newman and includes the western arm of the Jimblebar greenstone belt, a constituent of the Achaean Sylvania Inlier.

The tenement package contains strike extensions of key geological stratigraphy which hosts known uranium mineralisation in nearby Queensland. Many of these uranium occurrences lie within the Westmoreland Conglomerate.

With over 700Mlbs of uranium endowment – which is comparable to the prestigious Athabasca Basin in Canada – the lower-most rocks of the McArthur Basin and the basement rocks they immediately overlie are highly prospective for large-scale uranium discoveries.

Devex Resources Murphy West Uranium (U3O8) Project is an exploration project covering a province-scale ~10,000km2 area in the Northern Territory, Australia. Trek Metals Lawn Hill Project became part of the greater project via an earn-in and joint venture agreement.

The Project lies along the south-eastern margin of the prospective McArthur Basin, where DevEx’s flagship Nabarlek Uranium Project is located further to the north. The region is considered one of the world’s most prospective areas for uranium, with over 700 million pounds of uranium identified (in mined and unmined deposits).

The Murphy West Project is located west of the Laramide Resources Limited’s (ASX:LAM) Westmoreland Uranium Project, with a reported Mineral Resource estimate of 51.9 million pounds of uranium.

In September 2024, Trek entered into an Option Agreement with Advanced Energy Fuels Inc (AEFI) to progress the Hendeka Project. Refer ASX announcement via link below for additional information:
