Sky Metals Limited (ASX: SKY) has reported new drilling and surface sampling results that it says continue to expand the footprint of mineralisation at the Tallebung Tin Project in New South Wales, while also initiating the NSW State Significant Development (SSD) approvals pathway.
From the ongoing multi-rig drill campaign, Sky highlighted several shallow tin-tungsten-silver intercepts, including:
TBRC317: 8m @ 1.18% tin and 0.25% tungsten from 41m (including 3m @ 2.88% tin and 0.45% tungsten from 42m)
TBRC296: 46m @ 0.26% tin and 30.2 g/t silver from 15m (including 3m @ 2.18% tin from 47m)
TBRC304: 24m @ 0.34% tin and 31.5 g/t silver from 101m (including 4m @ 1.02% tin and 131 g/t silver from 112m)
TBRC302: 25m @ 0.27% tin, 0.09% tungsten and 17.0 g/t silver from 7m (including 2m @ 0.76% tin and 0.25% tungsten from 8m)
The company also reported high-grade cassiterite-bearing surface rock chip assays that it says confirm substantial southern extensions to the deposit footprint, including results of 1.10% tin with 18.2 g/t silver and 1.35% tin. Follow-up holes to test these extensions are already permitted and will be folded into the current drilling program.
On the approvals front, Sky said it has initiated the SSD process, commenced a scoping report and engaged environmental consultants. The company also appointed a new Environmental Manager to support approvals work alongside Executive Director Scott Todd, with the stated aim of keeping development studies and permitting momentum moving in parallel with exploration and resource growth drilling.
