Lycaon Resources Limited (ASX:LYN) operates as a mineral exploration company focused on discovering and developing critical mineral deposits in Western Australia. The company holds interests in multiple projects across key geological provinces, including the Stansmore project in the West Arunta region targeting niobium with potential rare earth elements (REE) and iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG); the Bow River project in the Kimberley region for nickel-copper-cobalt with possible platinum group elements (PGE); the Myrnas Hill project exploring lithium, copper, and gold; as well as additional tenements in the Pilbara and northeast Kalgoorlie areas pursuing gold, nickel, copper, cobalt, base metals, platinum group elements, and silver. Incorporated in 2021 and headquartered at Level 2, 22 Mount Street in Perth, Western Australia, Lycaon Resources conducts operations exclusively within Australia, targeting junior explorers and resource developers in the critical minerals sector. In March 2025, the company rebranded to Solara Minerals Ltd and changed its ASX ticker to SLA, effective March 6, alongside a planned full rebranding rollout; it appointed mining veteran Tony Rovira, former Managing Director of Azure Minerals, as non-executive director effective January 1, 2025, coinciding with James Robinson's transition to executive director and Ranko Matic's resignation; additionally, Solara recently acquired the Wilgeena project in the Murchison region and other gold-copper assets in the Bryah Basin through the purchase of OD4 Tom Price, identifying high-priority gold targets near existing resources.
