Andrada Mining Ltd (LSE:ATM) has announced that all holes drilled during its inaugural drilling program at the Brandberg West project, located on exploration licence EPL5445, have intersected metal deposits. The first set of samples from the twenty holes drilled has revealed the presence of tin, tungsten, and copper. Notable results include high-grade intersections with tin recorded at up to 4.47%, tungsten at 2.65%, and copper at 3.85%.
Chief Executive Anthony Viljoen described the initial drilling results at Brandberg West as highly promising. The significant high-grade intersections of tin, tungsten, and copper indicate the commercial potential of the exploration licence. The reported grades of up to 4% for tin, over 2% for tungsten, and copper levels typically ranging from 0.5% to 2% underscore the project's potential to become a valuable asset in the mining sector.
The Brandberg West project is situated within exploration licence EPL 5445 in the Erongo region of Namibia, approximately 100 km from Andrada Mining's flagship asset, the Uis Tin Mine. The historical open-pit mine at Brandberg West was previously operated by Gold Fields until the 1980s when operations ceased due to a collapse in tin prices.
The positive drilling results are expected to expand Andrada’s portfolio of critical metals to include tungsten and copper, in addition to its focus on tin. These findings highlight the potential for further exploration and development, reinforcing the project’s strategic importance within the company’s broader asset base.
The successful initial drilling program at Brandberg West represents a significant milestone for Andrada Mining, as it continues to explore and develop its mineral resources. The encouraging results from this program enhance the prospects for future exploration and development activities, contributing to the company's ongoing efforts to build a robust portfolio of critical metal assets.
