Soil sampling carried out by Taiton Resources (ASX:T88) in the second half of 2023 identified a coherent 2.5km molybdenum anomaly, while maiden drilling completed in September confirmed the presence of molybdenum at the Merino prospect, evidence that the company’s Highway project in South Australia is a significant molybdenum play with mineralisation intersected over a width of more than 1,000m.
