Dominion Minerals (DLM) has secured an extension to the option period for the purchase of the Georgia Lime Project in the United States.

Held by Dominion’s US subsidiary, the Georgia Lime Project lies in southwest Georgia and has the potential to host a high-quality limestone deposit.

The option period has been extended from January 26, 2022, to November 30, 2022, giving Dominion a further 10 months to undertake technical, economic and commercial evaluation.

Following this, the company will make a decision whether to purchase the surface and mineral rights for US$1.5 million (A$2.07 million).

A payment of US$112,000 (A$155,241) has already been made to secure the extension.

Recent diamond drilling and a previous rotary sonic drilling campaign highlighted the potential for the Georgia Lime Project to host a large, high calcium limestone deposit.

These results are being incorporated into a maiden mineral resource which is expected to be released early next year.

Dominion was up 4.55 per cent with shares trading at 6.9 cents at 1:05 pm AEDT.
