Groote Resources (ASX: GOT) is a Perth-based exploration company which continues to actively search for new projects, both within Australia and offshore. Currently the company has two main projects, the Groote Eylandt Manganese project and the Mt Alexander Uranium Project.
Groote Resources holds exploration rights for six tenements covering 1,723 km2 of shallow marine terrain and two islands near Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory of Australia.
