  • 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 mineralization 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 3 km x 1.5 km, 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 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 mineralization along strike length while also infilling the established mineralized 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).
