Platina Resources Limited (ASX:PGM) will assess the potential of Platinum and copper to add value to its Platina Scandium Project (PSP) in Central West New South Wales.
This follows the unveiling of a large platinum resource at Clean TeQ Holdings Limited (ASX:CLQ) Sunrise Project, which is around five kilometres south of PSP.
The Fifield district, which hosts the PSP and Sunrise projects, is well known for its platinum prospectivity.
PSP was originally discovered and explored in the 1960s for its platinum potential before its rich scandium potential was realised in 2016.

Platina managing director Corey Nolan said while the PSP hosted one of the worlds highest-grade scandium deposits, historical intersections of platinum were of significant enough grade to warrant a closer look.
He said: “Whilst the shallower laterite system is the host of a platinum JORC mineral resource, there are a number of historical bedrock platinum intersections of economic grade including five intersections higher than 10 grams per tonne.
“Additionally, the potential of the Fifield district has been reinforced by Clean TeQs announcement highlighting the platinum potential.”

PSP is one of the worlds largest and highest-grade scandium deposits and has the potential to become Australias first scandium producer with cobalt, platinum and nickel credits.
Mineralisation within the PSP is hosted within a laterite profile that extends from the surface down to between 20 metres and 30 metres vertical depth.
Nolan said: “Our low-cost geological study will assess the merit of undertaking further exploration activities including surfRead More – Source
