Anson Resources Ltd. said Feb. 2 that it received approval from the Department of Mines and Petroleum and associated departments to carry out exploration at the Ajana graphite project in Western Australia.

Access has been granted in the areas including the Water for Travellers and the Excepted from Sale reserves.

The company also signed land access agreements with owners of freehold lands on tenements E66/89 and E66/94.

Anson said its targets within the Ajana project contain historic copper, lead and silver producing mines dating back to 1850.
