Sydney, July 29, 2011 (ABN Newswire) - Northern Minerals Limited (ASX:NTU) announced exciting initial results from its 10,000m RC drilling program at the Browns Range Project in northern Western Australia. Assay results confirm significant Heavy Rare Earth Element (HREE) mineralisation including 5m at 3.49% Total Rare Earth Oxides. The results are particularly significant because of the nature of the mineralisation found at Browns Range and the strong global HREE demand and prices. The Company will continue the 10,000m RC drilling program to be followed by a diamond drilling program.
