Askari Metals confirms mineralisation at Uis Project

Askari Metals (ASX:AS2) achieved a milestone at its flagship Uis Project, confirming continuous polymetallic mineralisation through a successful Phase 1 trenching programme at the high-priority PS pegmatite target.

The campaign, consisting of 14 trenches totalling 272m, exposed the target over a 260-metre surface strike.

Detailed assays revealed peak values of 0.49% lithium oxide, 6,670ppm tin, and 465ppm tantalum, alongside elevated rubidium and caesium levels.

The results are particularly encouraging as they validate historical high-grade rock chip samples and previous drilling, which yielded lithium grades as high as 3.05%.

The PS target is situated within a fertile corridor of lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatites, sharing distinct geological signatures with the nearby OP, DP, and K9 targets.

Geologists noted a high degree of fractionation and zonation, further supported by the presence of key accessory minerals such as green mica and coloured tourmaline. This data provides a robust foundation for an expansive drilling campaign scheduled for the second half of 2026.

Executive Director Gino D’Anna stated that the results build critical momentum towards a maiden resource definition.

The upcoming work programme will involve systematic reverse circulation drilling across the OP, DP, and PS targets, complemented by a maiden diamond drilling campaign at the spodumene-rich K9 pegmatite.

At the time of reporting, Askari Metals’ share price was $0.0090.
