Gallium mineralisation present near-surface and in all directions; High Priority Block 3 Central target identified.
- Nimy Resources has commenced a Phase 2 drilling program at the high-grade Block 3 Gallium prospect.
- The drill program will support the development of a Maiden JORC Resource.
- Drilling is aimed at testing the Block 3 gallium exploration target, defined on the 28th of January, extending the known high-grade mineralisation along strike and down dip.
- The Phase 2 program includes – Drill testing of the new Block 3 Central Target.
- The Block 3 prospect covers an area of 3km x 1.5km, with the current exploration target only covering the Eastern segment of this zone.
- The program is expected to take three weeks with assays due as soon as feasible.
- The company aims to commence a Phase 3 drill program, upon interpretation of the Phase 2 results.
Nimy Managing Director Luke Hampson said:
The commencement of this round of drilling at the Block 3 Gallium discovery is significant as we move forward in defining a world class JORC compliant high grade gallium deposit. Concurrently, Curtin University are working on metallurgical testing following CSIRO identification of high grade 400-800 g/t gallium in chlorite. These exploration milestones move Nimy closer to meeting the need of gallium customers who have made initial enquiries as to our progress”.
Nimy Resources (ASX: NIM) is pleased to announce that a new drilling program has started at its Block 3 gallium discovery in WA. The drilling is aimed at growing the extent of the known mineralisation along strike length while also infilling the established mineralised area.
Samples from this Phase 2 program will be used in addition to samples from Phase I as the basis of metallurgical tests being conducted by Curtin University (Block 3 Gallium Exhibits Highly Favourable Mineralogy 01/05/25).
