Iltani Resources Limited, an ASX-listed company, has announced the commencement of a 10-hole reverse circulation drilling program at its Antimony Reward Project in Herberton, North Queensland. The program aims to follow up high-grade antimony sampling results, with initial drilling set to start on October 5. The project has shown extensive high-grade antimony mineralisation, with average sample assays of up to 16.2% Sb and peak assays of 46.5% Sb over 500m+ strike extent.

Key Takeaways:

  • Iltani Resources will commence a 10-hole (1,500m) reverse circulation drilling program at the Antimony Reward Project on October 5.
  • The program will target high-grade antimony mineralisation of up to 46.5% Sb, with an initial 10-day drilling schedule.
  • Historical sampling and drilling has confirmed extensive high-grade antimony mineralisation at the project, with average sample assays of up to 16.2% Sb.
  • The drilling program will be followed by sampling and analysis to determine the next steps in exploration.
