Allied Critical Metals Expands High Grade Footprint at Borralha Tungsten Project
Executive Summary
- Allied Critical Metals reported assay results from two new reverse‑circulation drill holes (Bo_RC_21 and Bo_RC_26) at the Borralha Tungsten Project, confirming continued lateral expansion of the Santa Helena Breccia mineralization.
- Hole Bo_RC_21 delivered a 42.0 m intercept averaging 0.19 % WO₃ with higher‑grade sub‑intervals up to 0.62 % WO₃; Bo_RC_26 returned a 26.0 m intercept averaging 0.24 % WO₃, including a standout 2.02 % WO₃ zone.
- The results support the upcoming Q4 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update and provide data for a forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
Key Details
- Bo_RC_21 (west step‑out, north edge of SHB) – 42.0 m @ 0.19 % WO₃ (256–298 m)
- 24.0 m @ 0.28 % WO₃ (256–280 m)
- 18.0 m @ 0.34 % WO₃ (256–274 m)
- 8.0 m @ 0.40 % WO₃ (266–274 m)
-
4.0 m @ 0.62 % WO₃ (266–270 m)
-
Bo_RC_26 (infill, north‑central zone) – 26.0 m @ 0.24 % WO₃ (140–166 m)
- 12.0 m @ 0.38 % WO₃ (140–152 m)
-
2.0 m @ 2.02 % WO₃ (140–142 m)
-
Drilling Progress: 3,721 m completed of the planned 5,728 m RC campaign; multiple high‑grade intervals already intersected.
-
Strategic Objectives of Current Campaign
- Expand the Mineral Resource Estimate (target Q4 2025).
- Supply data for a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment.
-
Identify higher‑grade corridors for future underground or hybrid mining scenarios.
-
CEO Comment: Roy Bonnell highlighted that Bo_RC_21 extends mineralization beyond the current model and Bo_RC_26 refines the block model, bolstering both short‑term growth and long‑term confidence in project development.
-
Technical Notes – Sampling on 2 m intervals with CRMs (5 %) and field duplicates (5 %). Analyses performed by ALS (Seville, Spain) using ME‑MS81 ICP‑MS; over‑limit tungsten re‑assayed via W‑XRF15b.

Qualified Person: Vítor Arezes, BSc, MIMMM (QMR), Vice‑President Exploration, reviewed and approved the technical information under NI 43‑101.
Notable Quotes
“With each new intercept, we are seeing our understanding of Borralha evolve and strengthen. Bo_RC_21 confirms mineralization well beyond the current model, while Bo_RC_26 tightens the block model in a key zone.” – Roy Bonnell, CEO & Director
