Alien Metals Limited (“Alien” or the “Company”), the AIM quoted mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on its due diligence on the Hancock Ranges and Brockman iron ore projects, over which the Company has an exclusive option to acquire 51% (see the Company’s announcement dated 20 September 2019 for further information on these projects).

Technical due diligence

Alien and its technical consultants carried out a detailed review of the available historical information in relation to the licenses to identify a number of prospective areas, which have been visited and inspected over the last week. The site visit will enable a more detailed geological interpretation of prospective iron mineralised formations. Numerous samples were taken from these prospective areas and despatched back to Perth, Western Australia, for assaying by an independent laboratory.

In addition, it is intended to identify and map the drill-hole collars from historic exploration programmes.

New project opportunities

In addition to the due diligence being undertaken on the Hancock Ranges and Brockman iron ore projects, the Company is reviewing additional acquisition opportunities in the precious metals space which are complementary to Alien’s existing portfolio of assets in Mexico.
