13 Dec 2012listing compliance notice▼ Bad
ASX queried the company over the late lodgement of director Michael Robson's interest notice; he was appointed 29 November 2012 and the notice was due 6 December. A possible listing rule breach. Company reply not included.
6 Dec 2012drilling result▲ Good
One-metre re-sampling of Bluebird hole BBRC-2 confirmed the earlier result: 4m @ 4.7% copper from 115m including 1m @ 16.2% copper. Mineralisation remains open at depth. Strengthens the November discovery.
14 Nov 2012drilling result▲ GoodMajor
Bluebird hole BBRC-2 hit 8m @ 2.20% copper including 4m @ 3.7% from 112m, below the earlier 8m @ 1.0% intercept. The EM conductor hole BBRC-1 found no mineralisation. First high-grade copper result at the prospect; ironstone appears to widen with depth.
17 Oct 2012asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor
Meteoric lodged a 65 sq km permit application over coarse flake graphite occurrences near Cortegana, Spain, with old workings reported at 10-20% carbon. Grant is not guaranteed. A new commodity outside its gold, iron and copper focus; no drilling or exploration yet.
9 Oct 2012drilling scheduled▲ Good
RC drilling is set to start within two weeks at Bluebird, targeting the strong EM conductor BRK1-C1 (3000-8000S) within 100m of the earlier 8m @ 1.0% copper hole. Follows the August EM survey and moves the project from targeting to drilling.
1 Oct 2012annual report● Neutral
Annual report for year to 30 June 2012 repeats known activity: Bluebird EM conductor, Tibooburra 51% earned, Coorara iron. Cash and share structure unchanged from prior reports (85.1m shares). Financial figures not visible in the text provided.
30 Aug 2012drilling result▲ Good
Citing a positive study on neighbouring Macarthur Minerals' Ularring project, Meteoric re-reports Coorara drilling at a 40% Fe cut-off, widening some intercepts and potentially enlarging exploration targets. No new drilling; the targets remain conceptual and wide-spaced.
7 Aug 2012drilling result▲ Good
A ground EM survey found a strong pipe-shaped conductor at the 100%-owned Bluebird copper-gold prospect near Tennant Creek, apparently untested by earlier drilling (8m @ 1.0% Cu). Four weaker anomalies also found; modelling is under way to pick drill targets.
31 July 2012quarterly activities report▼ BadMajor
June quarter: cash $1.167m. Meteoric stopped sole-funding Tibooburra and proposed a contributing JV to Awati, deferring RC drilling. The Webb IOCG tenements were surrendered. GeoCrystal may earn 70% of the kimberlite targets if it lists. Wilthorpe and Robinson Range are offered for sale.
4 Apr 2012drilling result▼ BadMajor
Completed 204-hole, 5,815m Tibooburra drilling gave results the company calls lower grade and narrower than expected. A twin of the 20m @ 5.22 g/t hole returned 7m @ 8.08 g/t, but a hole drilled beneath it hit only 2m @ 0.93 g/t. Over 400 samples await assay.
15 Mar 2012half year report● Neutral
Half-year to 31 December 2011: loss of $698,271, down from $843,521 a year earlier. Operational review repeats Tibooburra and other known activity; no new results in the text provided.
21 Feb 2012capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Meteoric is placing 11,084,614 shares at $0.065 each to raise about $720k, mainly to fund Tibooburra drilling and working capital. This lifts issued shares to 85.1m and cash plus liquid investments to $1.5m after costs.
What it means for a shareholder
11.1m new shares at $0.065 to raise about $720,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.

13 Jan 2012drilling scheduled● Neutral
A 6,000m RAB/aircore programme is due to start at Tibooburra to follow up the 20m @ 5.22 g/t gold result, testing 6.8km of strike. Coorara phase-two RC drilling (31 holes, 984m) is finished, with assays pending.
27 Oct 2011drilling result▲ GoodMajor
Early Coorara holes hit shallow hematite-goethite iron: 8m @ 60.9% Fe from 10m and 8m @ 59% Fe from 14m, open at depth and to the south. Nine more targets remain in the 1,300m programme. A first encouraging result after earlier thinner intercepts.
25 Oct 2011drilling spud● Neutral
A 1,300m RC drilling programme has started at Coorara to test for direct shipping iron ore in hematite-goethite zones. Completion is expected in early November. Follows the earlier scout drilling that found thinner, higher-silica mineralisation than surface sampling.
24 Oct 2011investor presentation● Neutral
Amended October presentation; the main change is that exploration target ranges are restated: Coorara 400-500Mt, hematite 10-15Mt, Robinson Range 50-100Mt. Otherwise the same as the earlier version. Targets are conceptual, not resources.
18 Oct 2011other● Neutral
Proto Resources, which holds a minority stake in Awati and alluvial rights at Tibooburra, notes Meteoric's drill results and appends them. Third-party re-release with no new Meteoric information.
18 Oct 2011investor presentation● Neutral
October presentation repeats known projects and Tibooburra results. It shows market capitalisation about $6m (down from ~$15m in February) and cash $1.2m. Coorara exploration target is stated as 500Mt; follow-up RC drilling is due to start.
13 Oct 2011drilling result▲ GoodMajor
One-metre re-assays confirm shallow high-grade gold at Tibooburra's New Bendigo: 20m @ 5.22 g/t from 8m, including 3m @ 22.62 g/t, and 4m @ 11.33 g/t at end of hole. Zone is open to the south; an untested western trend of old diggings remains.
30 Sept 2011annual report● Neutral
Annual report for year to 30 June 2011 restates Coorara, Tibooburra and other activity already announced. Issued capital unchanged at 74.0m fully paid and 27.5m contributing shares. Financial figures were not in the text provided.
16 Sept 2011other● Neutral
Notice that the managing director gave a Boardroom Radio presentation on the first-pass gold results. No new information.
15 Sept 2011drilling result▲ GoodMajor
First-pass Tibooburra drilling (63 holes, 2,049m) at New Bendigo returns best 16m @ 3.45 g/t gold, including 4m @ 10.40 g/t. Meteoric has met minimum spend and may earn 51%. Preliminary 4m composites; 1m re-assays pending.
11 July 2011drilling scheduled● Neutral
Further Coorara mapping found new hematite-altered BIF and detrital iron targets. A 2,500m RAB scout programme is planned from August, subject to permits and a rig. Tibooburra 3,000m RAB drilling is due late July; Webb access agreement reached.
1 June 2011farm in farm out agreement▲ GoodMajor
Heads of Agreement lets North Australian Diamonds earn 70% of Meteoric's rights in four Webb tenements by spending $2.5m within five years of signing an access agreement. Minimum 1,000m drilling in first two years. Resolves the earlier joint-venture plan; access still pending.
20 Apr 2011asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor
Meteoric has acquired a 500 sq km package of West Arunta licences over 50+ magnetic anomalies that may be kimberlite or lamproite pipes. Targets are conceptual, untested and need an access agreement; the company is considering a joint venture with a diamond explorer.
16 Mar 2011half year report● Neutral
Half-year loss to 31 December 2010 was $845,684, versus $822,574 a year earlier. Report restates Coorara, Robinson Range, Webb and Tibooburra activity already announced.
25 Feb 2011drilling result▼ BadMajor
First Coorara RC drilling (22 holes, 1,455m) confirms goethite-hematite in the weathered zone, but thicknesses are generally lower and silica higher than surface sampling suggested. Three holes await logging; heavy rain interrupted drilling. This is a softer result than the surface samples implied.
14 Feb 2011investor presentation● Neutral
Meteoric highlights neighbour Macarthur Minerals' positive scoping study at Lake Giles, which lies along strike from Coorara. It compares Macarthur's $100m market value with Meteoric's $15m. Coorara drilling results are expected within a month.
27 Jan 2011capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Meteoric places 6,000,000 shares at $0.15 to raise $0.9m via CPS Securities, with 4,000,000 free contributing shares attached. Cash and investments will be $2.1m after costs. Funds go to Coorara iron drilling and working capital.
What it means for a shareholder
6.0m new shares at $0.150 to raise about $900,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.

14 Jan 2011drilling scheduled▲ Good
Mapping and a trial gravity survey outline at least 4.5km of drilling targets at Coorara. A 3,000m RC drilling programme is expected to start within a week, subject to permitting. Mapping also suggests potential for channel iron deposits.
