Targeted exploration drilling 100% owned Elizabeth Hill Project
Initial observations of results
Alien Metals Ltd (LSE AIM:UFO) an iron, precious and Platinum Group Metals development company is pleased to advise that it has recently completed a reverse circulation drilling programme at its 100% owned Elizabeth Hill Silver Project ("Elizabeth Hill") and Munni Munni PGE Project ("Munni Munni") in the west Pilbara of Western Australia.
Highlights:
- Sulphides observed in drill holes at Elizabeth Hill and Munni Munni confirming continuation of mineralising structures
- Initial pXRF results indicate above background concentrations of both base metals and silver
- Wide zones of alteration encountered indicating continuity of silver hosting structures
- Priority samples collected and submitted for assay with balance of samples to be assayed in due course
- Follow up work now being planned
Rod McIllree, Executive Chairman of Alien Metals, commented:
"This extensional exploration drilling at depth and along strike of known metal occurrences strengthens the teams understanding of the geology and mineralised system as well as proving the expanded potential of Australia's highest grade historical silver mine. In addition, new ideas have been tested for base metal concentrations along the main Munni Munni fault on which the Elizabeth Hill silver deposit also sits. The exploration team is now focused and learning in real time to optimize future exploration activity at both project areas. This, combined with the continued advancement of the Han**** iron project towards production in 2023, positions the Company very well for shareholders to benefit from near term cash flow from production as well as making significant new discoveries in this highly mineralized region.
The Elizabeth Hilland Munni MunniProject
The Elizabeth Hill and Munni Munni Project is a contiguous block of tenements held by the Company that are prospective for silver and Platinum Group Elements (PGEs). The geology is interconnected and there are multiple styles of mineralization with numerous untested targets for both silver and PGE mineralisation.
