AVZ Minerals confirms potential for extensions at Manono Lithium and Tin Project

Australia's AVZ Minerals announced that it has received results from several new mineralized zones at its Manono Lithium and Tin Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which confirms potential for extensions at the Project.

The mineralized zones are situated within five of nine piezometer holes drilled at the Roche Dure pit to observe water table movements. Of the five holes where mineralized pegmatite was intersected, three are significant.Asian Metal Copyright Additionally, a new intersection in one of the holes is outside the current pit design which shows there's potential for extensions to the Roche Dure open pit into the nearby Kyoni pegmatite mineralization.Asian Metal Copyright Stand-out results returned grades of up to 1.Asian Metal Copyright The mineralized zones are situated within five of nine piezometer holes drilled at the Roche Dure pit to observe water table movements.Asian Metal Copyright79 per cent lithium oxide and 1,174 parts per million tin.

Additionally, a new intersection in one of the holes is outside the current pit design which shows there's potential for extensions to the Roche Dure open pit into the nearby Kyoni pegmatite mineralization. Further, the high-grade intersection in the same hole resulted in the northeastern limit of the Roche Dure pegmatite being extended by roughly 90 meters to the southeast.

AVZ Minerals completed a definitive feasibility in April last year, however, it will now update its mining optimization study using the new data collected since then.
