Coffs Clarence catchment – rare earth minerals exploration in northern NSW

Trigg Minerals has plans to explore for antimony within the Coffs Clarence regional drinking water supply catchment, much of which is also in the proposed Great Koala National Park. They claim that 30 new antimony targets have been identified, and speculators are expected to come flooding in.

Trigg's prospectus notes that the previous lease-holder, Anchor Resources, had "conducted extensive exploratory and research work including drilling, resource estimation studies and environmental monitoring." What isn't mentioned is that Anchor spent 12 years, found nothing, and finally went broke. They were delisted from the ASX in 2019.
