Azure Minerals Limited announced high grade assay results continue to be received from drilling at the Ridgeline Ni-Cu-Co sulphide deposit. Ridgeline forms part of the Andover Project (60% Azure /40% Creasy Group), located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. Azure has completed Mineral Resource definition drilling at the Ridgeline Deposit, with 61 diamond core holes drilled for a total of 33,120m.

High grade shoots of massive and semi-massive sulphides hosted within broad halos of lower grade disseminated sulphide mineralisation have been defined. Assay results have been received up to and including hole ANDD0172 plus hole ANDD0176, with the following significant mineralised intersections returned recently: ANDD0157: 2.8m @ 0.87% Ni, 0.22% Cu & 0.04% Co from 230.8m downhole, and 7.0m @ 1.33% Ni, 0.48% Cu & 0.06% Co from 446.8m downhole. ANDD0158: 2.2m @ 1.68% Ni, 0.52% Cu & 0.07% Co from 374.2m downhole ANDD0159 (previously announced 18 July 2022): 26.2m @ 1.10% Ni, 0.59% Cu & 0.05% Co from 498.8m downhole, including 7.6m @ 2.08% Ni, 0.78% Cu & 0.08% Co from 509.7m downhole ANDD0160: 7.1m @ 1.02% Ni, 0.69% Cu & 0.04% Co from 422.8m downhole ANDD0166: 3.8m @ 1.84% Ni, 0.47% Cu & 0.09% Co from 508.8m downhole, and 4.0m @ 1.35% Ni, 0.31% Cu & 0.07% Co from 520.7m downhole ANDD0167: 2.9m @ 2.61% Ni, 1.05% Cu & 0.11% Co from 458.1m downhole ANDD0168: 0.7m @ 4.02% Ni, 0.23% Cu & 0.17% Co from 264.2m downhole, and 27.7m @ 1.04% Ni, 0.43% Cu & 0.04% Co from 478.3m downhole, including 4.9m @ 1.47% Ni, 0.65% Cu & 0.06% Co from 478.3m downhole, and 4.5m @ 1.85% Ni, 0.49% Cu & 0.08% Co from 492.0m downhole, and 5.0m @ 1.73% Ni, 0.53% Cu & 0.07% Co from 501.0m downhole ANDD0169: 5.7m @ 1.54% Ni, 0.32% Cu & 0.07% Co from 485.1m downhole, including 2.2m @ 2.79% Ni, 0.44% Cu & 0.12% Co from 488.6m downhole ANDD0170: 1.8m @ 3.03% Ni, 0.44% Cu & 0.12% Co from 89.4m downhole NDD0172: 31.8m @ 1.41% Ni, 0.88% Cu & 0.06% Co from 434.1m downhole, including, 12.1m @ 1.77% Ni, 1.21% Cu & 0.08% Co from 434.1m downhole, and 15.3m @ 1.40% Ni, 0.80% Cu & 0.06% Co from 450.6m downhole ANDD0176: 1.3m @ 2.88% Ni, 0.21% Cu & 0.12% Co from 431.7m downhole, and 19.3m @ 1.44% Ni, 0.40% Cu & 0.06 % Co from 444.2m downhole, including 6.2m @ 1.68% Ni, 0.45% Cu & 0.08% Co from 444.2m downhole, and 7.6m @ 2.16% Ni, 0.59% Cu & 0.09 %Co from 455.9m downhole.

Hole ANDD0177 intersected substantial quantities of sulphide mineralisation. Assays are pending, however spot readings along the drill core utilising a handheld portable XRF (pXRF) confirmed the presence of nickel and copper. ANDD0177: 15.9m of disseminated, heavily disseminated, semi-massive and massive Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation from 508.2m.
