Nimy Resources has officially commenced its Phase 2 drilling program targeting the high-grade Block 3 Gallium prospect northeast of Perth, aiming to expand and better define the mineralisation for a Maiden JORC Resource.
The Block 3 prospect, covering an extensive area of 3 kilometres by 1.5 kilometres, has shown promising gallium mineralisation near-surface and extending in all directions, with a newly identified High Priority Block 3 Central target now included in the drilling plan.
The Phase 2 program focuses on testing the Block 3 gallium exploration target, initially defined on January 28, to extend known high-grade mineralisation both along strike and down dip.
This round of drilling will also include the newly identified Block 3 Central target, broadening the scope beyond the previously explored eastern segment of the zone.
The drilling campaign is expected to take approximately three weeks, with assay results to be delivered as soon as feasible.
Looking ahead, Nimy Resources plans to initiate a Phase 3 drill program following the interpretation of the Phase 2 results, further advancing the project towards resource definition.
Nimy Managing Director Luke Hampson commented: “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.”
This drilling initiative marks a critical step in Nimy Resources’ strategy to develop a globally significant gallium resource, responding to growing market demand for this critical mineral used in advanced electronics and technology applications.
