<h1>Mining group doubles exploration tenure, uses Ultrafine+ soil assays, faces tenement, native title, environmental and permitting risks</h1> A Singapore-based mining group has doubled its Western Australia exploration tenure to about 1,550 sq km, holding 37 granted and five pending mineral tenements across seven projects in a recognized gold-lithium province. The expansion and use of a novel Ultrafine+ soil assay method raise regulatory considerations including tenement grant conditions, native title and land access approvals, environmental and heritage consent, and compliance with WA mining and exploration statutes. Commercially, the company's stated intent to develop critical minerals for supply chains implicates permitting for resource development, potential export controls, and contractual, financing and sustainability disclosure obligations.
