Greta Minerals Doubles WA Exploration Land, Targets Lithium Supply for India

Greta Minerals Pte, part of Singapore-based Greta Group, has expanded its exploration footprint in Western Australia to 1,550 sq km, up from 700 sq km acquired in 2024.

Nitesh Chaudhari, Chairman of Greta Group, said, “We are very happy to expand our landholding, encouraged by initial results from Ultrafine+ soil sampling at Gecko North. The geological corridor appears promising for lithium, gold, and other critical minerals.”

The Gecko North Project, 25 km northwest of Coolgardie, is one of seven critical mineral and gold projects under Greta Minerals (Australia) Pty, which now holds 37 granted and 5 pending mineral tenements across the 1,550 sq km area. The project lies within the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton, east of the Ida Fault, a region renowned for gold and lithium deposits, and includes the Silt Dam Monzogranite, part of the fertile Bali Suite monzogranites linked to both gold and lithium mineralisation.

The company employed the Ultrafine+ soil sampling & assay technique, developed by CSIRO and Labwest Minerals Analysis Pty Ltd, to detect deeper ore bodies by analysing ultrafine clay particles (<2 micrometres), offering higher sensitivity than traditional soil sampling.

From 1,224 soil samples collected at Gecko North, Greta Minerals identified:
  • Three lithium anomalies, the largest measuring 6.4 km long and 2.3 km wide, with lithium values peaking at 86.6 ppm Li.
  • One caesium anomaly, up to 1.75 km long and 1.3 km wide, peaking at 41.7 ppm Cs.
  • Three gold anomalies, including one in the Silt Dam Monzogranite, with peak values of 50.5 ppb Au across a 900 m long and 400 m wide zone.

The expansion positions Greta Minerals to strengthen its critical minerals supply chain for India, while advancing exploration of high-potential lithium and gold deposits in Western Australia.
