GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE) announced the recommencement of its Phase 1 drilling program at the Munni Munni Platinum-Palladium-Copper-Nickel Project in Western Australia, following the festive season break.
Located on granted mining leases adjacent to GreenTech's advanced Whundo Copper-Zinc-Gold Project, Munni Munni hosts a historical JORC (2004) mineral resource estimate of 24 million tonnes at 2.0 g/t 4E (PGE+Au) for 2.2 million ounces, based on 91,077m of drilling from 328 holes between 1985 and 2002.
The Phase 1 program will comprise up to 20 drill holes totaling approximately 6,000m, combining diamond core and reverse circulation drilling to verify historic resources, enable a JORC (2012) resource update in early 2026, explore extensions beyond the current mineralised envelope, and collect material for metallurgical testing.
Diamond drilling, which began in late December 2025 with eight holes (~2,000m), has resumed, while a second rig will soon commence the RC component (~4,000m). Historical drill core and laboratory pulps have been well preserved on-site, potentially accelerating verification of the resource.
The project’s strong PGE and copper fundamentals, combined with nearby district-scale consolidation at Whundo, position Munni Munni as a key focus for GreenTech’s ongoing exploration and resource evaluation.
Shareholder approval for the acquisition of an initial 70% interest, with the option to increase to 80%, is scheduled for Jan. 21.
At the time of reporting, GreenTech Metals' share price was $0.14.
