Drilling has intercepted chlorite/mafic schist in 9 holes at the High-Grade Gallium Block 3 project
Highlights:
- Successful completion of the phase 2 drilling campaign with 9 holes intercepting chlorite/mafic schist at the Block 3 Gallium project.
- The schist has been identified by CSIRO as the host rock for high grade gallium mineralisation at Block 3.
- The highly successful phase 2 drilling facilitates the immediate commencement of phase 3 drilling.
- Phase 3 drilling will test for gallium mineralisation beyond the original exploration target as well as the recently discovered outcropping schist.
- Field logging of the holes is complete, detailed logging of the holes is underway.
- The 9 holes have been submitted for geochemical assay, with first results expected within three (3) weeks.
- The mineralisation remains open with ongoing reconnaissance fieldwork at Block 3 aiming to expand the potential extent of gallium discovery and identify additional chlorite schist material along trend.
- Block 3 exploration advancing with exploration drilling, metallurgical work, and downstream discussions in progress.
Nimy Managing Director Luke Hampson said:
The consistent intersections of schistose material across completed drill holes at Block 3 is an exciting development that continues to reinforce the scale and potential of this high-grade gallium prospect.
Assays are pending and phase 3 drilling has commenced, we are well positioned to rapidly advance what is a significant critical minerals discovery in Western Australia.”
