These assay results confirm the continuation of broad copper and zinc mineralisation over a 176m mineralised envelope in hole MADD024 and supports the Company's exploration model of a polymetallic system transitioning into deeper tin mineralisation.\n \nAssay Highlights\n \n· MADD024:\no 14.8m @ 0.67% Cu from 59.1m, incl. 0.7m @ 2.32% Cu from 62.4m\no 13.4m @ 1.26% Cu from 109m, incl. 2.83m @ 2.13% Cu from 119.6m\no 14.5m @ 1.57% Cu from 174m, including 5.13m @ 3.00% Cu from 180.4m\no Tin visible over a 28m interval, reinforcing depth-related zonation\n \n· MADD026:\no 54m @ 3.41% Zn from 113m, incl. 21m @ 5.96% Zn from 126m\no 20m @ 1.23% Cu from 193m, incl. 5.10m @ 3.12% Cu from 193.9m\no Tin visible over a 15m interval\n \n· System scale: Copper and zinc confirmed across a 500m strike and >200m width\n· Next phase: Deeper tin targets now being drilled in short 3,000m campaign\n \nDrilling continues to support the Company's zonation model with shallower copper and zinc transitioning into tin at depth - that the Board considers akin to well-known, established tin projects like San Rafael in Peru and South Crofty in the UK, both of which started as copper mines, passed through a transition zone of tin and copper until both were ultimately only mining tin. Notably, both holes reported visible cassiterite in the core, with mineralisation widening at depth and tin appea...
