Asian Battery Metals PLC

Key Highlights:

  • Phase 3 drilling follows up on AZ9's outstanding 2024 discovery.
  • Fully funded program supported by $3.969M raised via an equity placement.
  • Diamond drilling campaign will test high-priority DHEM conductive plates, deeper gravity anomalies, and step-out extensions.
  • Aims to expand high-grade mineralisation and define the structural controls of the Oval Cu-Ni-PGE system.
  • Initial assay results expected in May 2025, with metallurgical test work ongoing.
  • Approvals secured for expanded exploration in 2025, including the newly discovered Copper Ridge Cu-Au prospect.

Managing Director, Gan-Ochir Zunduisuren, commented: "We are excited to launch Phase 3 drilling at Oval, building on last year's exceptional results. With a fully funded program and a strategic focus on deeper extensions and new targets, we are progressing towards unlocking the full potential of the Oval Cu-Ni-PGE discovery.
