Recommencing of Drilling
Following the successful recent capital raising, the Company commenced the works associated with the work program detailed in the Prospectus lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on May 1, 2024, including an assessment of the data collected with confirmation, where possible, of the likely resource boundaries, average grades and thickness of mineralization at the Tiros Project.
Whilst the data assessment is currently being reviewed by an independent competent person (Atticus Geo Consultants), Resouro has also undertaken further exploration including "scout holes" and infill drilling with an aim to define a mineral resource estimate for the Tiros Project in accordance with JORC Code.
Latest Drill Results
The exploration team has recently received and analyzed the latest results from the latest drilling program including the diamond drilling (DD) with excellent results summarized in the table below.*
Quality Assurance Quality Control
A QA/QC program is in place for every batch of samples sent to the laboratory including blanks, different types of standards, for REE and titanium, and field duplicates. Further, a number of samples in each batch are later chosen for testing in a secondary laboratory and in the primary laboratory, as pulp or coarse duplicates.
Qualified Person
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Rodrigo Mello B.Sc. Geology, FAusIMM and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Mello has reviewed and verified the drilling and assay data included in this announcement.
Commenting on the latest drilling and assay results and drilling update for the Tiros Project, CEO and President of Resouro, Chris Eager, commented: "Following on previously reported high levels of TREO, NdPr and TiO2 grades reported at the Tiros Central block are exciting. Recommencing the drilling program after reviewing the recent data has allowed the Company to plan better for the present drilling and to allow the project to progress its geological resource model with the aim to achieve a Maiden JORC Resource for Tiros Central. This drilling further confirms the high grade and massive size potential of Tiros project as a whole."
