Boab Metals Limited has reported assay results from its Phase IX growth drilling program at the Sorby Hills Silver-Lead-Zinc Project in Western Australia, confirming significant silver-lead mineralisation beyond current FEED Study open pit designs.

The drilling returned multiple broad, high-grade intervals outside existing pit boundaries. Highlight intercepts include hole SHSD_207 at Omega Central, which intersected 12.62m at 204g/t AgEq, 121g/t Ag and 7.65% Pb from 23m. At B Deposit, hole SHSD_201 yielded 3.26m at 186g/t AgEq, 50g/t Ag and 12.66% Pb from 72m, while SHSD_204 returned 12.88m at 61g/t AgEq, 17g/t Ag and 4.04% Pb from 46m.

Boab Metals has completed the planned Phase IX drilling program in full, alongside seven additional holes totaling 930m, extending the program roughly 15% beyond its original planned meterage. In total, the campaign completed 47 sonic and diamond core holes for approximately 5,880m across the B, Omega, Norton and Beta deposits. Resource conversion drilling has yielded 2,026 samples submitted for laboratory analysis. The positive returns have prompted the company to add several more holes to the expanded drilling schedule, with active exploration also underway at the Keep Zinc target.

“These results confirm potentially ore-grade mineralisation beyond current FEED Study pit designs and reinforce Sorby Hills' growth potential. With the Project fully funded and under construction, additional Ore Reserves and silver production could deliver meaningful shareholder value.”

Boab Metals is advancing development at the Sorby Hills Project following the execution of a A$236 million equivalent project finance facility in April 2026. Further assay results from the expanded Phase IX drilling program are anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2026. First concentrate production at the project is scheduled for the second half of 2027.
