AKIPRESS.COM - Asian Battery Metals PLC is encouraged by interim results from an ongoing 2024 regional reconnaissance and exploration program at the Yambat Copper-Nickel Project in Mongolia, identifying four more exploration targets, Proactive reported.

While exploration continues at the primary Oval Prospect, the company's regional program was designed to systematically evaluate the potential for copper-nickel mineralisation in an area outside Oval using a suite of exploration techniques, as well as an initial investigation of newly discovered mineralisation at Copper Ridge.

“The 2024 regional reconnaissance program has resulted in a major advancement of the geological knowledge in what we consider to be one of the emerging copper and nickel exploration districts in Mongolia," said Asian Battery Metals managing director Gan-Ochir Zunduisuren.

"Currently, the company is continuing its regional exploration program and a scout drilling program in parallel with the Oval Prospect drilling program," he added.

Detailed geophysical studies and scout drilling are now planned for these new regional targets in this field season.
