Accelerate Resources uncovers up to 59.6% manganese in Pilbara corridor

Accelerate Resources uncovered surface rock chips grading as high as 59.6% manganese at its Woodie Woodie North project in the East Pilbara, Western Australia, confirming a 12-kilometre mineralised corridor that was previously only explored with shallow drilling three decades ago. Sampling at the Faris prospect produced four chips between 53.9% and 59.6% manganese with iron content under 1%, while the newly mapped Sea Turtle one outlet revealed a 650 m × 400 m alteration system and outcrops up to 31.4% manganese.

CEO Luke Meter said the discoveries reinforce a continuous high-grade trend linking Area 42, Gingarrigan and El Largo. The company completed a scrip-based transaction to own the project outright, eliminating legacy royalties and simplifying future financing or offtake arrangements. Woodie Woodie North already hosts an inferred resource of 1.2 Mt at 19.1% manganese and a larger target of up to 10.7 Mt at 10-19% manganese, adjacent to Consolidated Minerals’ long-running mine. Accelerate plans a 3,000-metre drill program at Gingarrigan and further mapping at Faris and Sea Turtle as part of its broader strategy that also includes a gold project and a rebrand to Mango Metals.
