OAR Resources Limited, recently rebranded as Core Energy Minerals Ltd effective November 29, 2024, is a diversified mineral exploration and development company focused on battery and critical minerals including rare earth elements (REE), uranium, nickel, copper, lithium, and precious metals. The company’s core asset portfolio encompasses the Crown Nickel-Copper-PGE Project in the Julimar District of Western Australia; the Denchi Lithium Project and other lithium and battery minerals assets in the Northern Goldfields; extensive tenements across the Western Eyre Peninsula in South Australia featuring graphite, halloysite-kaolin, and rare earth element potential; gold exploration rights in Nevada, USA; and additional projects in Namibia and Brazil targeting uranium and REE deposits. It also holds a gold lixiviation plant in Peru through its subsidiary Ozinca Peru SAC. OAR’s product and service offerings include mineral exploration, development of battery and critical mineral projects, and gold processing services.
In recent developments, OAR completed strategic acquisitions and pegging applications for exploration tenements in Namibia’s Erongo region and Brazil, aiming to expand its uranium and rare earth mineral portfolio. These activities align with a strategic shift to diversify geographically and enhance exposure to in-demand battery and critical minerals essential for electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. The company also executed a 1-for-20 reverse stock split in December 2024 and finalized its rebranding to Core Energy Minerals Ltd to reflect its evolving focus. Furthermore, OAR secured a $750,000 unsecured short-term loan to fund ongoing exploration and business advancement.
