Drilling has intercepted chlorite/mafic schist in 9 holes at the High-Grade Gallium Block 3 project
■Successful completion of the phase 2 drilling campaign with 9 holes intercepting chlorite/mafic schist at the Block 3 Gallium project.
■ The schist has been identified by CSIRO as the host rock for high grade gallium mineralisation at Block 3.
■ The highly successful phase 2 drilling facilitates the immediate commencement of phase 3 drilling.
■ Phase 3 drilling will test for gallium mineralisation beyond the original exploration target as well as the recently discovered outcropping schist.
■ Field logging of the holes is complete, detailed logging of the holes is underway.
■ The 9 holes have been submitted for geochemical assay, with first results expected within three (3) weeks.
■ The mineralisation remains open with ongoing reconnaissance fieldwork at Block 3 aiming to expand the potential extent of gallium discovery and identify additional chlorite schist material along trend.
■ Block 3 exploration advancing with exploration drilling, metallurgical work, and downstream discussions in progress.
Nimy Managing Director Luke Hampson said: “The consistent intersections of schistose material across completed drill holes at Block 3 is an exciting development that continues to reinforce the scale and potential of this high-grade gallium prospect.
“Assays are pending and phase 3 drilling has commenced, we are well positioned to rapidly advance what is a significant critical minerals discovery in Western Australia.”

About Nimy Resources
Nimy Resources is a Western Australian exploration company that has prioritised the development of its recently discovered Mons Belt, situated 370km north-east of Perth and 140km north-northwest of Southern Cross a Tier 1 jurisdiction in Western Australia.
The Mons Belt represents a district scale discovery, spanning ~80km x 30km over 17 tenements and covering ~3005km2 north of the Forrestania greenstone belt. The Mons Belt provides a new and exciting frontier in critical metal exploration in Western Australia, the company is currently working with the CSIRO to advance the lithology and mineralisation types within one of Australia's newest greenstone belt discoveries in the Yilgarn Craton, a region with significant untapped potential.
Nimy Resources believes the Mons Belt offers multi commodity potential with the initial discovery of Masson (Cu, Ni, Co, Au & PGE's) in addition to Block 3 east prospect with high-grade gallium (Ga) discovered in the northern tenements.
In addition to these discoveries, the southern tenements have significant fertile komatiite sequences like those found in the Kambalda region of WA.
The Mons Belt is a district scale discovery with a land holding consisting of 17 approved tenements covering an 80km north/south strike of mafic and ultramafic sequences.
