[SMM Aluminum Express News] Western Yilgarn said re-assaying at its Cardea 1 project in Western Australia confirmed shallow gallium mineralization across multiple zones within the Darling Range bauxite province. Results showed gallium oxide grades exceeding 140 ppm, with broad shallow intersections from surface to ~7 meters depth. The company believes the project could support both bauxite and critical minerals development, including potential future gallium recovery linked to alumina production.
