Sky Metals Limited (ASX: SKY) has reported new high‑grade tin–polymetallic rock‑chip results from its 100%‑owned Doradilla Tin Project in north‑western New South Wales, expanding the known mineralised strike extent to more than 10km. The latest sampling returned 3.10% tin alongside 3.03% lead, 0.33% copper, 0.27% zinc, and 159ppm indium from the Wednesday Shaft area, confirming strong multi‑metal mineralisation across the corridor.
The results significantly extend the scale of the Doradilla system, which remains open in all directions. Previous work had defined an Exploration Target across only 2.5km of the trend, indicating that earlier drilling tested just a small portion of a much larger mineralised footprint. Sky Metals noted that the new data suggests the Doradilla strike is folded around a northeast–southwest axis, increasing the interpreted prospective length.
Last year’s metallurgical testwork demonstrated approximately 78% tin recovery into a saleable concentrate using the company’s updated flowsheet, reinforcing the project’s potential for future development. Sky Metals said Doradilla continues to emerge as a strong second tin opportunity within its portfolio, complementing the flagship Tallebung Tin Project.
Oliver Davies, managing director and CEO of Sky Metals, commented, “High‑grade tin has now been confirmed across more than 10km of strike at Doradilla. The outstanding 3.10% tin result reinforces the strength of this emerging discovery and points to a much larger system. Together with the large Exploration Target estimated for just a fraction of the total system and the excellent metallurgical results already released, Doradilla is rapidly shaping into a highly attractive second tin development opportunity alongside SKY’s flagship Tallebung Project.”
Historical drilling has already returned notable intersections, including 11m at 1.04% tin from 37m, with 5m at 1.65% tin from 42m. The company is now planning follow‑up drilling to confirm historic high‑grade intercepts, test extensions of the newly identified mineralisation, and begin systematic drilling across high‑priority zones along the 10km corridor.
