AVZ Minerals Limited received further strong results from its Mineral Resource drilling at the Manono Lithium and Tin Project (Manono Project) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It has received results from the first 4 diamond drill holes at the Roche Dure North-East Extension drilling programme. Results from the first 4 of 46 planned resource drill holes at the Roche Dure North-East Extension, confirms further widespread, high-grade spodumene lithium mineralisation including 226.8m @ 1.67% Li2O & 307 ppm Sn and 226.8m @ 1.67@ Li2O.

Seventy five samples returned values greater than 2% including 3 individual samples grading greater than 3% Li2O with the highest value being from hole MO22DD003 from 122 to 124 metres downhole grading 3.59 Li2O. The latest drill holes demonstrate grade continuity both down-dip and along strike at Roche Dure. Drilling results moving along strike to the north-east confirm the Roche Dure orebody dipping shallower on the northernmost drill section.

AVZ holds a 75% interest in the Manono Project, located 500km north of Lubumbashi in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo, hosting the world class Roche Dure Mineral Resource, one of the largest undeveloped hard rock lithium deposits in the world. The Manono Project is strategically positioned as a clean, sustainable source of lithium, significantly contributing to the green energy transition, feeding the global lithium-ion battery value chain. With industry leading ESG credentials, it is forecast to be one of the lowest carbon emitting hard rock mines in the world.
