Octava Minerals (ASX:OCT) has announced that exploration at Yallalong will focus on previously identified and partially drilled high grade antimony targets. Octava’s Managing Director Bevan Wakelam stated: ” It was noted that historic drilling for antimony had been carried out at the project and with ingot prices increasing from ~$8000/tonne to now over US$24,500/tonne3 , there is definitely unfinished business for antimony at Yallalong.
