Recent Corporate Update
In October 2026, Great Dirt Resources Ltd announced progress on its Pilbara exploration programme:
- A systematic soil‑sampling campaign identified nine lithium‑rich targets, including three Priority 1 anomalies.
- The anomalies display geochemical signatures indicative of evolved pegmatite deposits and match previously mapped potassium radiometric anomalies.
- The company will conduct infill sampling, detailed mapping, heritage clearance, and potential drilling on these targets.
In parallel, Great Dirt applied to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for the listing of 87 500 new ordinary shares at an issue price of AUD 0.25 per share. This follows a private placement that raised additional working capital earlier in the year, supporting exploration and administrative expenditures. No dividends were declared, and the company maintains its focus on critical‑mineral projects.
