Andrada Mining: Brandberg Drill Results
Brandberg West Inaugural Drill Results
Notable mineral intersections for tin, tungsten and copper
Andrada Mining Limited (AIM: ATM, OTCQB: ATMTF), a critical raw materials producer with mining and exploration assets in Namibia, is pleased to provide results from its inaugural drilling programme undertaken at the historical Brandberg West mine, situated within the EPL5445 exploration licence. The objective of this programme is to provide an initial indication of the grade potential and geology of the historical open pit area and to investigate the potential mineralisation of the northern extensions. These results constitute the first batch of samples from this programme, representing ten (10) out of the twenty (20) holes drilled.
Highlights
All drill holes intersected mineralisation representing the primary metals of interest, namely tin (“Sn”), tungsten (“W”) and copper (“Cu”). Significant drill intersections include:
- Drill hole AT3 10:
- 0.86 m at 0.15% Sn, 2.42% W and 0.46% Cu from 30.55 m to 31.41 m

- 1.27 m at 0.03% Sn, 1.40% W and 0.69% Cu from 74.03 m to 75.30 m
- 1.02 m at 0.12% Sn, 2.54% W and 0.62% Cu from 100.63 m to 101.65 m
- 0.39 m at 0.30% Sn, 0.01% W and 3.85% Cu from 112.36 m to 112.75 m
- Drill hole AT3 21:
- 1.68 m at 0.62% Sn, 0.93% W and 0.73% Cu from 46.56 m to 48.24 m
- 4.22 m at 1.12% Sn, 0.83% W and 1.40% Cu from 110.88 m to 115.10 m
- 1.69 m at 0.53% Sn, 1.08% W and 0.96% Cu from 183.92 m to 185.61 m
- Drill hole AT3 03:
- 1.22 m at 0.95% Sn, 1.15% W and 0.99% Cu from 10.02 m to 11.24 m
- 0.85 m at 1.66% Sn, 0.46% W and 2.19% Cu from 38.76 m to 39.61 m
- 0.89 m at 0.17% Sn, 1.12% W and 1.37% Cu from 42.30 m to 43.19 m
- 0.40 m at 2.01% Sn, 1.65% W and 0.66% Cu from 68.87 m to 69.27 m
- 0.49 m at 4.47% Sn, 0.02% W and 0.91% Cu from 107.51 m to 108.00 m
- 0.45 m at 1.06% Sn, 0.66% W and 0.77% Cu from 112.35 m to 112.80 m
- 0.74 m at 1.49% Sn, 0.82% W and 0.41% Cu from 134.97 m to 135.71 m
- Drill hole AT3 05:
- 0.84 m at 4.17% Sn, 0.12% W and 0.53% Cu from 10.02 m to 11.24 m
Anthony Viljoen, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The Brandberg West project’s initial drilling results are highly encouraging featuring significant high-grade intersections of tin, tungsten and copper. These intersections, with grades of up to 4% for tin, over 2% for tungsten and typically 0.5% – 2% for copper, underscore the licence’s commercial potential. Notably, Brandberg West expands Andrada’s portfolio of critical metals to include tungsten and copper. This reinforces the Company’s belief that the Erongo region, in Namibia is a promising mineral – rich area with substantial inventory to support our key objective to grow the resource base. Furthermore, the results validate our approach of developing areas with historical mining activity to bolster our portfolio.”
