Strickland Metals Limited provided an update on its native title heritage clearance survey. The Company reported that it has received heritage clearance from Tarlka Matuwa Piarku (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC (TMPAC) for almost all planned exploration throughout 2022. The survey was conducted between 22 and 29 November 2021 at the Company's Yandal project.

It began at the southernmost end of the project tenure and worked northwards throughout the survey period. Importantly, clearance was obtained for the planned resource extensional drilling at Millrose. Numerous other `look-a-like' targets around Dusk til Dawn and within the Big Daddy Trend were also cleared.

Obtaining heritage clearance was the final critical step towards commencing exploration. Unfortunately due to time constraints, a survey was not able to be completed at Iroquois. The Company will shortly request a further survey from TMPAC that includes Iroquois and several other priority prospect areas.

A reverse circulation (RC) drill rig is arriving on site in the coming days and will begin the planned resource extensional drilling at Millrose. A diamond rig will arrive soon after, with a second RC rig scheduled to arrive in March 2022. All rigs will remain at the project for the entirety of 2022.

As previously announced, the Millrose resource expansion program will comprise 20,000 metres of RC drilling and 8,000 metres of diamond drilling. The priority for drilling at Millrose is as follows: Infill drilling of the `gap' between the southern and northern resource domains with RC drilling. The position is prospective for both supergene and primary gold.

Along strike extensions to the north and south as identified in the geophysical and geochemical datasets. Depth extensions, with a focus on the high-grade domains to understand underground mining potential. Further definition of extensive, near-surface laterite mineralisation.

Parallel trends to the west of the main defined shear zone. The program will be complemented with a Mineral Resource upgrade which is likely to comprise a significant addition to the current resource. After the resource upgrade, the Company will consider the commencement of a Scoping Study for the development of the resource.

As announced to the ASX on 19 January 2022, confirmation of their new understanding of the Dusk til Dawn gold mineralisation opens up a tremendously part of the northern Yandal gold belt region. During 2021, Strickland re-logged the historic drilling in the area and identified a large alteration corridor to the north and south of Dusk til Dawn. A similar alteration corridor has also been identified on the parallel Big Daddy trend to the east.
