About Cobra
In 2023, Cobra discovered a rare earth deposit with the potential to re-define
the cost of rare earth production. The highly scalable Boland ionic heavy rare
earth discovery at Cobra's Wudinna Project in South Australia's Gawler Craton
is Australia's only rare earth project amenable for in situ recovery (ISR)
mining - a low cost, low disturbance method enabling bottom quartile recovery
costs without any need for excavation or ground disturbance. Cobra is focused
on de-risking the investment value of the discovery by proving ISR as the
preferred mining method and testing the scale of the mineralisation footprint
through drilling.
Cobra's Wudinna tenements also contain extensive orogenic gold mineralisation,
including a 279,000-ounce gold JORC Mineral Resource Estimate, characterised
by low levels of over-burden, amenable to open pit mining.
