Nimy Resources Drilling Confirms Potential Gallium Extensions at Block 3

  • Nimy Resources has intersected substantial zones of mafic schist in all drillholes completed within the newly delineated Central Zone of its Block 3 Gallium Project.
  • Chlorite & mafic schist, the host rock for high-grade gallium, has been consistently intersected across the newly designated Central Zone.
  • Preliminary logging of recent intercepts at the Central Zone indicates the mineralized system is potentially continuous from Block 3 West to Block 3 East, totalling over 1.5 kilometers of strike.
  • Initial holes from the Phase 2 drilling program have been submitted to the laboratory for assaying, with Phase 3 drilling being submitted to the laboratory over the coming days.
  • Phase 3 Step-out drilling continues, targeting extensions beyond the initial outlined exploration target, which includes a newly identified, outcropping chlorite schist zone.
  • Reconnaissance exploration is advancing across the broader prospect area, with a focus on expanding the mineralized footprint and delineating additional chlorite schist-hosted targets along strike.
  • The first Phase 2 drill assays are imminent, with results to be released progressively. 

Nimy Managing Director Luke Hampson said: “The consistent intersection of mafic schist across all Central Zone drillholes indicates the continuity of the primary gallium host unit and supports our interpretation of a large, coherent mineralized system at Block 3.

“With mineralization remaining open along strike and at depth, and step-out drilling now testing newly identified outcropping zones, the project continues to demonstrate the hallmarks of a high-grade, critical metal discovery.

“As gallium emerges as a priority metal for semiconductors and defence technologies, securing supply is now a strategic imperative for Western economies. Block 3 positions Nimy at the forefront of the Western World’s response to this challenge.

“Looking ahead, Nimy is actively progressing discussions with downstream partners to ensure optimizing future processing pathways”
