Investee Company update - Aberdeen Minerals Ltd

 

 

 

Gunsynd Plc (AIM: GUN) is pleased to announce recent updates from its investee
company Aberdeen Minerals Limited ("Aberdeen"), a UK based Nickel-Copper
exploration company.

 

Drilling program is underway at Arthrath Central within the Arthrath Project.
Following the completion of the equity fundraise, Aberdeen commenced its next
round of drilling at Arthrath as part of its mineral exploration programmes
for deposits of nickel, copper and cobalt in North East Scotland.

 

Two rigs were mobilised to the site on 10 July 2024. This current campaign
will see 2,650 metres of core drilling over six holes between July and
September 2024, as the first stage of an overall 6,300 metre program.

 

The aim of the current six hole program is to explore deeper within the large
Arthrath conduit-related sulphide system and test the potential for massive
sulphide deposits in a geological setting which appears to be comparable to
several global nickel sulphide orebody analogues.

 

The new program includes two relatively shallow holes (220 and 300 metres in
length) into untested parts of the deposit to provide geological control, and
four deep, widely spaced, angled holes (500 to 550 metres in length) designed
to test the deeper geology along the current strike extent of the sulphide
system. Borehole EM geophysical surveys will be carried out on all holes.
Borehole EM ("BHEM") is used routinely in nickel sulphide exploration to
detect and model bodies of more conductive, higher grade sulphides which may
occur away from the borehole being tested.

 

Drilling has been positive so far with good levels of sulphide and net
sulphide textures intersected in the two shallower holes, which have tested
the southern part of the deposit in areas where there was no / limited
historical drilling.

 

The second stage of the overall program will comprise a further 3,650 metres
of planned drilling, scheduled for late 2024 / early 2025 with objectives to
be confirmed by the results of the current round.

 

Gunsynd holds 2,000,000 ordinary shares in Aberdeen which were acquired for
£150,000.

 

Gunsynd looks forward to providing regular updates on future results provided
by Aberdeen in relation to the current and future drilling programs.
