Perseverance pays off as Terrain Minerals eyes big gold and gallium finds at Smokebush

Terrain Minerals Ltd (ASX:TMX, OTC:TMXAF) executive director Justin Virgin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest developments at the Smokebush project in Western Australia, where Terrain is exploring for gold, silver, and gallium across multiple prospects. Virgin highlighted encouraging results from the Lightning prospect, noting, "I think we are on something very big, we are on to something special." He explained that the geology suggests the presence of dolerites, which are known entrapment zones for gold in Western Australia. A follow-up drilling campaign aims to further define these structures and move towards establishing a JORC resource by mid-2026. At Larin’s Lane, also within Smokebush, gallium has been identified in a distinct geological setting. Virgin said the WA Government is funding metallurgy work, with results due in December, which could unlock further development potential. Terrain has reported gallium grades up to 54g/t and zones up to 64m thick. Beyond Smokebush, Virgin also referenced work underway at the Carlindie lithium project in the Pilbara and rare earths identified at Lort River, highlighting Terrain’s strategy of maintaining a diversified pipeline of critical mineral projects. He noted that despite exploration funding challenges, persistence has yielded encouraging outcomes: "It’s perseverance, so if you persevere, you eventually get there."
