Sky Metals (ASX: SKY) has commenced a 150-plus hole drilling programme at its Tallebung tin-tungsten-silver project, targeting resource growth and potential mine-life extensions. Initial results from the campaign returned a shallow, high-grade intercept of 17m grading 0.70% tin, 0.03% WO₃, and 14.8g/t silver from 26m, including 4m at 2.44% tin, 0.06% WO₃, and 28.0g/t silver. The new mineralisation adds to high-grade tin-tungsten-silver zones identified since the latest resource estimate update and supports further resource expansion. Recent drilling has also intersected coarse wolframite-hosted tungsten mineralisation, with assays pending, while testing near previously reported high-grade tungsten intercepts. Further upside could come from the nearby Theirman Mines prospect, where rock-chip sampling returned up to 7.44% WO₃ across more than 500m of strike, with drilling expected to begin shortly.
Oliver Davies, Managing Director and CEO of Sky Metals, commented: “These latest results provide further evidence of the significant growth potential we see at Tallebung, with another broad, shallow and high-grade tin intercept adding to the growing inventory of significant mineralisation identified since the cut-off for our recent Mineral Resource Estimate update.
“The identification of coarse wolframite (tungsten) in our latest diamond drilling is also an encouraging development for Tallebung. Combined with the high-grade tungsten already intersected nearby, this highlights the potential for tungsten to become an increasingly important part of the Tallebung story. The coarse nature of the tungsten mineralisation intersected further highlights the exceptionally favourable mineralogy of the deposit and its amenability to simple, low-cost processing, adding to the processing advantages already demonstrated for the coarse cassiterite (tin) mineralisation.
“With our PFS establishing a clear development pathway for Tallebung, we have now commenced a major new 150-hole drilling programme targeting further resource growth and potential mine-life extensions.
“At the same time, we are preparing to drill the high-grade tungsten targets at Theirman Mines, just 20km away. Together with resource growth drilling at Tallebung, pending assays from the remaining diamond drill-holes and upcoming drilling at Theirman, this continues the exciting period for SKY as we continue to demonstrate both the quality and growth potential of Tallebung and the potential of the broader Tallebung region.”
