Azure Minerals Limited (ASX: AZS) (“Azure” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce further high-grade zinc and lead assay results from its now-completed resource definition drilling program at the Company’s flagship Oposura Project (refer Figure 1).

The latest batch of assays are from the East Zone and include thick intervals of high grade zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation. Mineralisation commences in surface outcrop and extends horizontally at shallow depths over an area of approximately 400m (east-west) by 300m (northsouth) (refer Figure 2), and the mineralised zone remains unconstrained to the north and west.

Some of the more impressive East Zone mineralised intersections from the latest results include:

• 5.5m @ 20.9% Zn+Pb in OPDH-053 from 95.15m
• 9.6m @ 18.2% Zn+Pb in OPDH-059 from 50.60m
• 7.2m @ 13.9% Zn+Pb in OPDH-067 from 41.70m
• 3.4m @ 19.3% Zn+Pb in OPDH-072 from 13.05m
• 7.4m @ 17.0% Zn+Pb in OPDH-077 from 38.85m
• 5.4m @ 16.0% Zn+Pb in OPDH-087 from 00.00m

The East Zone mineralisation is mostly horizontal and displays significant vertical height, which is expected to simplify the mining process. The near-surface mineralisation within the eastern and southern areas islikely to be mined by open pit and, where the terrain rises to the west and north (refer Figure 3), underground mining is expected to be carried out using a simple room and pillar mining method utilising industry-standard mechanised mining equipment.

The resource drill-out program for both the East Zone and West Zone has now been completed and a summary of drilling is shown in Table 1
