Asian Battery Metals expands copper-nickel exploration at Yambat Project

New MS1 discovery hints at a larger mineralised system

Ongoing drilling and EM surveys to refine high-potential targets

Asian Battery Metals (ASX:AZ9) is ramping up exploration momentum at its Yambat Project in Mongolia with a significant development—a new ultramafic-gabbroic intrusion discovered at the MS1 target, located just six kilometres from the flagship Oval prospect. This fresh find marks a pivotal moment in the company’s efforts to map and harness the district-scale potential of this copper-nickel-rich terrain.

Initial scout drilling at MS1 has already indicated the presence of sulphide mineralisation, an early positive sign for further resource development. Complementing this, both downhole and surface electromagnetic (EM) surveys using the SAMSON system have revealed multiple high-conductance zones, suggesting strong potential for follow-up discoveries. These findings could expand the mineralised footprint significantly, making MS1 a key area of focus for Asian Battery Metals moving forward.

Gan-Ochir Zunduisuren, Managing Director of Asian Battery Metals, emphasised that the new data points toward a “broader mineralised system.” The results imply the potential existence of a parallel mineral trend to Oval, reinforcing the scale and depth of opportunity across the Yambat Project.

The company is now accelerating further exploration with ongoing drilling and geophysical programs across MS1, MS2, and the Copper Ridge zone. These activities are aimed at refining drill targets, enhancing geological understanding, and potentially unlocking new mineralised zones. The next set of assay results from Phase 3 drilling is expected to be released later this month, which could offer further insight into the project's resource potential.

The expanding footprint of Yambat and its strategic mineral positioning come at a time when demand for battery metals continues to surge globally. While Asian Battery Metals is currently not a component of the ASX200 index, developments such as these could enhance its visibility among investors watching Australia’s fast-evolving resource landscape.

With multiple exploration fronts now active and promising indicators emerging from early-stage testing, the Yambat Project continues to build traction as a copper-nickel opportunity of notable scale in Asia. Investors and industry watchers alike will be keeping a close eye on the next set of drilling updates and assay results.
