ASX-listed junior Vital Metals has raised about A$1-million to advance ongoing gold exploration activities in West Africa, where it recently commenced drilling at its 100%-owned Kollo gold project, in Burkina Faso, to in-fill and extend high-grade gold mineralisation. The proceeds will also be used to accelerate drill testing at its Australia-based Elephant Creek gold prospect, which is located on a major regional geological structure, the Tulla Fault Zone, south of Vital Metals’ 100%-owned Watershed tungsten project, in North Queensland.
