Australian Mines Limited has defined five priority drill target areas and finalised an aircore drilling program totalling approximately 1,250 metres across roughly 50 holes at its Flemington Scandium Project in New South Wales.

The 100%-owned project hosts an existing Mineral Resource Estimate of 6.3 million tonnes at 446 parts per million scandium. The upcoming campaign will test two clinopyroxenite targets and two total magnetic intensity-reduced-to-pole targets, alongside a fifth area designated for dual-purpose expansion and site infrastructure condemnation.

The program also includes dedicated metallurgical holes across the West, Northwest, and Main pit areas identified in the Flemington Scoping Study, which followed the delivery of earlier evaluation work. Representative samples from these zones will support metallurgical variability testing and process development for the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study.

The Pre-Feasibility Study is assessing the potential to increase annual scandium oxide production from the initial 60 tonnes per annum case evaluated in the May 2026 Scoping Study up to 180 tonnes per annum.

“Flemington already hosts a high-grade scandium Mineral Resource. This program brings together five priority drill target areas defined from geological mapping, magnetic interpretation and project-development requirements, while also collecting representative metallurgical samples from the West, Northwest and Main pit areas. The work is designed to test large, under-drilled areas for opportunities to establish substantial new mineralised zones, while providing key geological, metallurgical and site-layout information for the PFS.”

— Andrew Nesbitt, Managing Director

Drilling is scheduled to commence once the required Assessable Prospecting Operation approval is received from the NSW Resources Regulator.
