Australian Mines Limited announced the commencement of a drill program designed to test high-priority base metal targets within the company's Thackaringa Project in New South Wales, Australia. Thackaringa is a 100%-owned, early stage exploration project of Australian Mines located in the Broken Hill region of New South Wales. The project's proximity to the regional mining town of Broken Hill, where mining major BHP originated mining the supergiant Broken Hill lead- zinc-silver orebody, allows access to an established local mining culture and highly skilled workforce. An airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey commissioned by Australian Mines over its entire Thackaringa project area in 2017, which was designed to detect potential base metal mineralisation at depth, successfully revealed a total of nine separate anomalies. Of these anomalies, Target A1 and Target A5 in the northern section of the tenement were subsequently classified as "high priority targets 2" by two separate and independent consulting firms, Mitre Geophysics and Newexco Exploration, who both concluded these targets represent areas of potential base metal mineralisation that warrant follow-up drill testing. Accordingly, this morning Australian Mines commenced a targeted, low-cost reverse circulation (RC) drilling program of the Target A1 conductor to verify the presence, if any, of base metal mineralisation at this location. This drill program is anticipated to take up to three weeks to complete, with the results to be announced in accordance with the Company's continuous disclosure obligations.
