Investor Insights
The continued positive outlook for gold, copper is creating a strong macro economic environment for Tempest Minerals supported by its highly prolific assets with potential for world-class deposits.
Overview
Tempest Minerals (ASX:TEM) is an exploration and development company based in Australia, with a diversified portfolio of mineral assets prospective for iron, gold, copper/base metals, rare earths (REE), lithium. The company has five projects located in prolific territories in Western Australia: Yalgoo (gold, copper, zinc, silver, iron ore, tungsten, rare earths and more), Mt Magnet (gold, REE), Five Wheels (gold, base metals) and Elephant (gold). Its flagship Yalgoo property is a large land package comprising several targets, located in the prolific Yalgoo Region of Western Australia. Tempest has defined a number of exceptional exploration targets and is currently progressing the newly discovered Remorse magnetite iron ore deposit.
Tempest Minerals is headquartered in Perth, Australia.
Tempest Minerals is led by an experienced board and management team with a history of exploration, operational and corporate success – key to executing the company’s mission to maximise shareholder value through focused, data and technology-driven asset exploration and development.
Company Highlights
- Tempest Minerals’ exploration and development projects are primarily located in Western Australia and highlight a multi-commodity strategy in regions with a strong mining history.
- The company’s strategy is to progress a project pipeline of high-growth assets utilising data driven and hands-on exploration and modern development methods.
- In 2024 TEM completed a 5,000-metre drilling campaign focused on the Remorse target at the company’s Yalgoo project leading to a significant new high-grade magnetite deposit discovery and exploration target.
- Work in 2025 will focus on developing the new discovery while conducting further exploration portfolio-wide to define additional targets.
Key Projects
Yalgoo Property
Tempest’s largely unexplored and 100-percent-owned Yalgoo property covers more than 1,000 square kilometres and is highly prospective for gold, base metals and iron with world-class potential. It is located four hours from Perth, close to major infrastructure and adjacent to world-class mines, including Golden Grove, Deflector, Mt Gibson, Minjar, Rothsay and Mt Mulgine.
The Remorse Target is a 5 km long exploration target where TEM completed an initial 4,005 meters of drilling in 2024 and identified a significant magnetite iron-ore deposit. The target also remains highly prospective for base metals.
Tempest also has a number of compelling exploration targets across the 1,000 sq km project including the Sanity target which is highly prospective for gold, with rock chip samples returning 7 grams per ton (g/t) gold, 0.2 percent copper, and more than 60 percent iron.
Mt Magnet
The 100-percent owned Mt Magnet project spans more than 20 square kilometres located within a world-class mining district and is 5 kilometres from a processing facility. A prolific mining destination with at least 6 million ounces of gold produced to date, the project is surrounded by multiple large-scale gold mines currently in operations, including Ramelius’ (ASX:RMS) Mt Magnet operations and Spartan’s (ASX:SPR) Dalgaranga. The project contains multiple drill targets, of which Wrangler will be a key focus of near-term work.
Elephant
The Elephant project is a 194 square kilometre property in the prolific Fraser Range region with large geological structures and multi-million-ounce targets. The project area itself has strong magnetic anomalies and an 8-kilometre gold in soil geochemical anomaly which could represent a large subsurface gold system.
Five Wheels
The 100-percent owned, 266-square-kilometre Five Wheels project is geologically similar to Rumble Resources’ zinc-lead-copper discoveries and sits within the boundaries of the Earaheedy Basin in Western Australia, a mineralised sedimentary basin. A major geophysics program is planned for the project, co-funded by the government.
