Metalsource provides update on exploration at Aruba
Metalsource Mining has provided an update on its ongoing exploration program at the Aruba Property in South-Central Botswana. The company has completed soil sampling and is conducting a ground gravity survey to identify drill targets in the Transvaal Supergroup stratigraphy, known for Manganese mineralization.
The Aruba Project encompasses five prospecting licenses covering 4,663 km² and is strategically located between Jwaneng and Werda. The property includes a significant portion of the western margin of the 1,300 km² Molopo Farms Complex (MFC), which shows potential for Nickel, Copper, and PGE mineralization. The project area is adjacent to Rio Tinto Exploration and benefits from good infrastructure.
Metalsource Mining ha fornito un aggiornamento sul suo programma di esplorazione in corso presso la Proprietà Aruba nel Sud-Centro del Botswana. L'azienda ha completato il campionamento del suolo e sta conducendo un'indagine di gravità a terra per individuare obiettivi di perforazione nella stratigrafia del Supergruppo Transvaal, nota per la mineralizzazione di manganese.
Il Progetto Aruba comprende cinque licenze di prospezione che coprono 4.663 km² ed è strategicamente situato tra Jwaneng e Werda. La proprietà include una parte significativa del margine occidentale del Molopo Farms Complex (MFC) di 1.300 km², che mostra potenziale per la mineralizzazione di nichel, rame e PGE. L'area del progetto confina con l'esplorazione di Rio Tinto e beneficia di una buona infrastruttura.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- METALSOURCE MINING INC. (the “Company” or "Metalsource") (CSE: “MSM”) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s exploration program at the Aruba Property, which is currently underway. This first program conducted by the company consists of a soil sampling program and a ground gravity survey. The intent is to delineate anomalous trends with coincident geophysical signatures to develop drill targets in the Transvaal Supergroup stratigraphy known to be a host for Manganese mineralization, as observed at the K-Hill and the Kalahari Manganese Field of South Africa.
The company has completed soil sampling across the portion of the claim group where the Transvaal has been mapped regionally. The target stratigraphy is the Kanye Basin portion of the Transvaal Supergroup, with mineralization in the district occurring in the Black Reef Formation. The samples have been analyzed using a field portable XRF and are being prepared for submittal for ICP analysis. The soon to be completed gravity survey, in conjunction with these collected soil samples will be instructive to shape the planned drill campaign.
“Initiating exploration and advancing the project is an exciting first step that we have been looking forward to for some time.” CEO Joseph Cullen commented “The team has spent a lot of time deliberating and working through information available, so expanding our knowledge and testing ideas is something the whole team has been anxious to start. As the data is added to our knowledge, the team can start thinking about drilling in earnest, making for very exciting times at Metalsource.”
The Aruba Project
The Aruba Project consists of five prospecting licenses totaling approximately 4,663 km2 in South-Central Botswana. The property is underlain by the Kayne Basin and represents a north central portion of the Transvaal Supergroup, which contains
The Property also makes up a significant portion of the western margin of the approximately 1300 km2 Molopo Farms Complex (“MFC”), including the basal units prospective for Nickel, Copper and PGE mineralization. The MFC is made up by a well layered lower ultramafic sequence containing; chromite bearing hezburgite, olivine orthopyroxinite and dunite. The upper mafic layers consist of norite, gabbros and diorites with pegmatitic areas. Structurally, the MFC consists of a folded, block-faulted and tilted lopolith now warped into a southwest-plunging syncline and divided into northern and southern lobes by the east-northeast trending Jwaneng-Makopong and northeast-trending Werda-Kgare shear zones. Parts of the intrusion and its roof-rocks were later eroded and unconformably overlain by Waterberg Group and Kalahari sands. Current thinking is that the MFC was emplaced by two sets of dykes forming two sub-lopoliths and sills. The project area is adjacent to Rio Tinto Exploration and is surrounded by good infrastructure.
