Power Minerals set to drill in Brazil

Power Minerals (ASX:PNN) is set to start its first-pass reverse circulation drilling program at the Nióbio Project in Brazil this December. The initiative will test targets identified from earlier sampling and a LiDAR survey, with results expected in the first quarter of 2025.

Overview of Power Minerals' strategic move

Power Minerals is set to embark on an initial drilling program at its Nióbio Project in Brazil, with operations commencing in December 2024. The program aims to explore niobium and tantalum targets, supported by prior surface sampling and a LiDAR survey. The project holds potential for additional mineral resources, including tungsten, lithium, and tin, though these are secondary targets. Results from the 1,000-meter drilling effort are expected in early 2025. This step is crucial for Power Minerals' exploration strategy, helping to define future exploration plans and advance their pursuits in the mineral resource sector. The company aims to gather comprehensive data to better understand the area's mineralization, with minimal environmental impact, focusing on areas previously disturbed.

The drilling program will provide us with vital data on the structure and lithology of the project area, as well as geochemical data from our target areas. This will be our first drilling campaign at the Nióbio Project, and it marks a significant step forward in our exploration activities in Brazil.
