Future Metals NL Announces Significant Copper-Nickel Discovery At Eileen Bore with 4.5 km Strike Potential
Future Metals NL ("Future Metals" or the "Company") Significant Copper-Nickel Discovery at Eileen Bore with 4.5km Strike Potential Highlights: Drilling at Eileen Bore has confirmed significant Cu-Ni mineralisation, including: 30m @1.06% Cu, 0.45% Ni & 1.14g/t PGM (3E) from 88.9m (EBDD002). Drilling results, combined with recent ground gravity, confirm the Eileen Bore mineralisation to be a faulted section (offset 300m north) of a newly defined 4.5km NE trending intrusion. Holes EBDD003 and EBDD004 were drilled in the northern end of the 4.5km intrusion, representing the first ever drilling of this target area. The results have confirmed the intrusion to be mineralised, with 127m of anomalous magmatic sulphides intersected including: 7.4m @ 0.46% Cu, 0.51% Ni and 0.3g/t PGM (3E) which confirmed historical grades and mineralisation. A further two diamond holes (EBDD003 and EBD D004) were drilled at Target 2 as a first pass test of surface mineralisation. Drilling commenced at the historical EBDD002 prospect to confirm and test for extensions to Cu-Ni mineralisation. Hole EBDD002 intersected a 30m zone at 1.06% Cu,0.45% Ni and 1.14g/t pGM (3E) which confirmed historical grades. The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results is based on, and fairly represents, information compiled by Ms Barbara Duggan, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Ms Duggan is the Company's Principal Geologist and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity she is undertaking to qualify as a competent person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Exploration Targets, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" (JORC Code). Ms Duggan consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based upon her information in the form and context in which it appears. Un usual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. Diamond Drilling: Details of the drilling completed referred to within this announcement are reported in Table 1 (Sign Significant Results) and Table 2 (Drill Collars). No historic details are reported as they have been previously reported in an ASX release dated 13 February 2024: Multiple Drill Targets identified Over an 18km Strike at the Recently Acquired Alice Downs Corridor. All duplicate samples were 1/4 core. Half core remains in the core tray and is available at the Perth Core Library as drilling was completed with EIS cofunding. All drill core sampling was either supervised by, or undertaken by, qualified geologists. Terrain corrections were completed by Terra Resources. Drilling techniques: Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Diamond drilling was completed by Top Drill with holes starting in NQ2. To retain drill core for further analysis/petrography and review, the drill core was either half or quarter cut depending on the zone being sampled. discuss any adjustment to assay data. The results were reviewed by the principal geologist. Location of data points: Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. In 1987, Dry Creek Mining completed 11 holes, stream sediment and rock chip sampling. From 2004-2005, Lionore, in a joint venture with Thundelarra, in a joint venture with a joint venture with ThundELarra, completed further surface sampling, completed further surface sampling, conducted further surface sampling, completed at VTEM survey over the entire EBDD004. No drilling, completed at VTEM survey across the entire EBDD004, Lionore, drill core sampling and Thundelarra, RC drilling, completed at VTEM anomalies was completed at the entire EBDD004 and down-hole surveys.
