Askari Metals has advanced multiple exploration workstreams at its Uis Critical Metals Project in Namibia, with a soil geochemical survey at EPL 7626 approaching 75% completion.

The soil sampling campaign is designed to identify and prioritise concealed pegmatite targets within the polymetallic project area, which spans multiple licences including EPL 7345 and EPL 8535 and offers exposure to tin, tantalum, lithium, rubidium and caesium.

In parallel, field teams are progressing the first phase of trenching at the Kestrel Pegmatite Target within EPL 8535. The program involves 89 planned trenches totaling 7,675 metres of cut lines to expose fresh pegmatite material beneath surface cover, improve geological understanding and generate channel sampling opportunities to assist with drill targeting.

Detailed geological mapping and rock-chip sampling continue across EPL 7345 and EPL 8535 to refine target geometry, understand zoning characteristics and identify favourable geochemical signatures. Recent work has identified large-scale prospects, including the K10 target with an interpreted strike length of 3.1 kilometres, the GP target at 2.4 kilometres and the Tawny target at 2.2 kilometres, alongside the EVE, MW, Zebedeus-1 and Martial targets.

Planning is also well advanced for a reverse circulation drilling program to provide the first systematic subsurface assessment across several high-priority targets on EPL 7345, focusing specifically on the DP, PS, K9 and OP prospects.
