Pilbara Iron Ore Update and Q2 2026 Work Program
Alien Metals Limited has received an independent technical review from ERM Australia Consultants Pty Ltd for its Pilbara iron ore portfolio, which confirmed significant potential for Brockman Iron Formation mineralisation across the underexplored Vivash and Brockman Projects. The Vivash tenure is adjacent to Fortescue Metals Group Ltd's Vivash Southwest Mineral Project, which holds a JORC Mineral Resource of 28Mt @ 58.8% Fe, while the Brockman Project is located near BHP Deposit 20. A targeted, iron-focused field program is planned for Q2 2026 to advance exploration activities across these projects. Disclaimer*
