Asian Battery Metals (ASX: AZ9) has announced that it has commenced the 2024 Phase 1 drilling programme at the Oval copper-nickel prospect, part of the Yambat Project in Mongolia, aimed at confirming the strike length and depth of mineralization identified in reconnaissance drilling last year.
This round of diamond drilling will consist of 2,500m across six drill holes ranging from 250m to 500m in depth.
The company will then undertake a borehole electromagnetic (EM) geophysical survey across the drilled holes, using a 3-component fluxgate (EMIT DigiAtlantis) coil and Zonge GGT30 transmitter.
Asian battery Metals believes this data will enable structural mapping of the prospect’s geology and increase its understanding of other targets that share similar geology nearby.
In addition, to support its upcoming drilling programmes, the company has selected Bob Dennis for the role of technical consultant.
Dennis has more than 45 years of experience in the fields of mineral exploration, feasibility, due diligence, resource audit, geologic review, mine geology, mining, and metallurgical management.
He has previously provided advice on strategic exploration and project development for grassroots, brownfield and mine-based projects for base, precious and battery metals in many areas of the world including Russia, Mongolia, Niger, DRC, Madagascar, Philippines, China, and Australia.
