Osmond Resources Limited (ASX:OSM) has announced encouraging assay results from the five-hole confirmatory drilling program at the Iberian One Project in Spain. The results include significant mineralisation with high Al2O3 content, indicating the potential for alunite and kaolinite. The Company is also conducting a strategic review to fast-track the development of an EU critical minerals mine, taking advantage of positive EU legislation and funding backdrop. In South Australia, Osmond has completed a sampling program and review of historical drill samples at the Fowler Project.
We are pleased with the assay results from Spain regarding our confirmatory drilling program at the Iberian One Project. Importantly, all five drill holes intersected mineralisation comparable to those encountered in historical drilling. We still believe there may be an opportunity to fast-track development activities to deliver a compelling critical minerals opportunity located in the EU.
