Larvotto NSW antimony production gathers pace as growth options build
From hands-on agricultural training and controlled grazing to manage fire risk to celebrating culture with a striking Anaiwan mural, management says it is keen to incorporate long-term social, environmental and cultural values alongside mine development.
In a major move for farmers and bushfire management, Larvotto launched a grazing and community farming initiative in Echidna Gully Village, placing cattle on pastoral land to support agricultural education partnerships with local schools. The program aims to promote the practical benefits of controlled grazing by helping to manage vegetation, thereby reducing the risk of fire around the site.
Beyond Hillgrove, Larvotto says the company is steadily building its next growth engines. Air core drilling has been completed at the Eyre project in Western Australia to feed rare earth metallurgical testing efforts. Laboratory studies are currently ongoing to investigate mineralogy, recoveries and processing routes for a range of promising targets.
Meanwhile in Queensland, the company continued to make progress on due diligence at the historic Blockade copper mine near Mt Isa; where more than 4,100 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling has been completed in five nearby mines.
Visual results from Blockade to date indicate multiple copper mineralized zones; analysis is pending and results are set to guide potential resource modeling and purchasing decision. Mt Isa assets could form the basis of a potential hub and associated copper development strategy close to existing processing infrastructure.
With renovations accelerating, underground mining reactivating, and multiple exploration and acquisition catalysts on the horizon, Larvotto is shaping up as a tightly focused antimony and gold producer in the near term, with meaningful upside in copper and rare earths.
