Sky Metals Limited (ASX: SKY) has reported additional wide, shallow high‑grade tin‑tungsten‑silver intercepts from infill drilling at its Tallebung Project in central New South Wales, reinforcing the project’s open‑pit development potential ahead of a key Mineral Resource update.
Recent drilling has targeted the central resource area and returned multiple broad, near‑surface intersections, including:
- TBRC395: 23m at 1.14% tin and 0.03% tungsten, including 6m at 2.72% tin
- TBRC410: 17m at 0.79% tin, including 4m at 2.27% tin
- TBRC401: 14m at 0.51% tin, including 4m at 1.62% tin
- TBRC415: 13m at 0.48% tin and 67.1g/t silver, including 5m at 1.02% tin and 164g/t silver
- TBRC393: 7m at 0.33% tin, 0.12% tungsten and 49.6g/t silver, with high‑grade sub‑intervals
The results highlight consistent shallow mineralisation with strong grades and widths, supporting the potential for early access to higher‑grade material in the initial years of mining. Sky Metals noted that these zones form a key part of the planned early mine life profile and could contribute to improved project economics.
More than 500 drill holes have now been completed at Tallebung, providing a significantly expanded dataset that will underpin the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Pre‑Feasibility Study (PFS), both expected this quarter. Additional extensional drilling results remain pending and are expected to further support resource growth.
Oliver Davies, managing director and CEO of Sky Metals, commented, “These latest results continue to demonstrate the strength of the Tallebung system, with multiple broad, shallow, high‑grade intercepts confirmed within the central resource area. The drilling has successfully targeted zones that are expected to contribute to early mine life production, where we see strong potential to prioritise higher‑grade material. The consistency and continuity of these zones build further confidence in Tallebung as a scalable, near‑term development opportunity.”
Sky Metals continues to advance Tallebung toward development, with drilling, resource definition and technical studies progressing in parallel as the company prepares for its next major project milestones.
