Brandberg West Exploration Drill Results

Continuation of notable tin, tungsten and copper intersections

Andrada Mining Limited (AIM: ATM, OTCQB: ATMTF), a critical raw materials producer with mining and exploration assets in Namibia, is pleased to provide the final results from its inaugural drilling programme at the historical Brandberg West mine, situated within the exploration license, EPL5445. The aim of this programme is to establish an initial understanding of the grade and geology within the historical open pit area and to investigate potential mineralised extensions to the north. These results constitute the second and final batch of samples from this programme, representing ten (10) out of the twenty (20) holes drilled. (See announcement released on 12 September 2024).

Highlights
All drill holes intersected mineralisation containing the primary metals of interest, namely tin (“Sn”), tungsten (“W”) and copper (“Cu”). Significant drill intersections include:

  • 0.31 m at 7.37% Sn, 1.04% W and 0.76% Cu from 14.50 m to 14.81 m
  • 0.68 m at 2.32% Sn, 1.64% W and 0.79% Cu from 37.93 m to 38.61 m
  • 0.28 m at 0.05% Sn, 1.85% W and 0.54% Cu from 50.14 m to 50.42 m
  • 0.25 m at 10.55% Sn, 1.06% W and 0.17% Cu from 151.02 m to 151.27 m
• Drill hole AT3 20:
  • 0.25 m at 1.69% Sn, 0.14% W and 0.07% Cu from 23.68 m to 23.93 m
  • 0.42 m at 0.69% Sn, 1.26% W and 0.38% Cu from 25.16 m to 25.58 m
  • 1.37 m at 0.19% Sn, 1.54% W and 0.30% Cu from 84.09 m to 85.46 m
  • 0.65 m at 1.49% Sn, 1.79% W and 0.13% Cu from 148.93 m to 149.58 m
• Drill hole AT3 19:
  • 0.34 m at 0.05% Sn, 0.06% W and 1.95% Cu from 99.03 m to 99.37 m
  • 0.51 m at 1.16% Sn, 0.04% W and 0.59% Cu from 100.05 m to 100.56 m
  • 4.96 m at 0.86% Sn, 0.09% W and 0.46% Cu from 140.72 m to 145.68 m

Anthony Viljoen, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The continuation of significant high-grade tin, tungsten and copper intersections at the Brandberg West project endorses our strategic outlook for this area and is demonstrative of the untapped value at this asset. These second batch of drill results reported grades as high as 10.55% for tin, 3.53% for tungsten and 1.95% for copper. These results also show that the mineralisation continues along strike to the Northeast.

The full exploration results will be evaluated to optimise the next exploration phase at Brandberg West. The addition of tungsten and copper to our critical metals’ portfolio complements our strategy to becoming a developer of multiple critical metals to the energy transition and future technological advancements. We look forward to updating all stakeholders as we continue to develop this promising asset.”
