Vancouver, British Columbia, Allied Critical Metals Inc. has announced assay results from four additional drill holes from the company’s 2026 drilling campaign at the Santa Helena Breccia, the deposit supporting the company’s recent preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of the Borralha Project. The latest results continue to intersect broad tungsten mineralization within the Santa Helena Breccia, reinforcing the geological and mineralization model underpinning the Borralha PEA.
The four drill holes, Bo_14/26, Bo_16/26, Bo_18/26, and Bo_19/26, were completed as part of the company’s ongoing infill and technical drilling program within the Santa Helena Breccia. Drill hole Bo_19/26 returned 63.4 metres grading 0.16% WO₃ (estimated true width) from 58.0 m, including 45.5 metres grading 0.19% WO₃ from 76.0 m, 15.8 metres grading 0.36% WO₃ from 76.0 m, and 7.9 metres grading 0.45% WO₃ from 76.0 m.
Drill hole Bo_18/26 returned 43.4 metres grading 0.17% WO₃ (estimated true width) from 112.0 m, including 25.6 metres grading 0.25% WO₃ from 112.0 m and 7.9 metres grading 0.38% WO₃ from 112.0 m. Drill hole Bo_16/26 returned 22.1 metres grading 0.10% WO₃ (estimated true width) from 132.0 m, including 11.0 metres grading 0.16% WO₃ from 132.0 m and 1.8 metres grading 0.61% WO₃ from 132.0 m. Drill hole Bo_14/26 returned 7.9 metres grading 0.22% WO₃ (estimated true width) from 0.0 m, including 2.0 metres grading 0.72% WO₃ from 6.0 m.
Together with the previously reported Bo_13/26, which intersected 81.5 metres grading 0.22% WO₃ (estimated true width), including 23.8 metres grading 0.68% WO₃ and 4.0 metres grading 2.96% WO₃, the 2026 results continue to indicate broad mineralized intervals containing internal higher-grade tungsten zones across the Santa Helena Breccia.
The drilling campaign at the Santa Helena Breccia is designed to increase confidence in the current Mineral Resource Estimate, support resource conversion and mine planning, and provide geotechnical and metallurgical information for ongoing technical studies. The Santa Helena Breccia drilling is now focused on systematically de-risking the Borralha Project, increasing Mineral Resource confidence while generating the geological, geotechnical, metallurgical, and mine-planning data required to advance the project toward feasibility.
Allied Critical Metals Inc. continues to advance exploration at the newly discovered Venise Breccia, approximately 400 metres northwest of the Santa Helena Breccia. The Venise Breccia is being targeted for potential growth beyond the mineralized system currently included in the PEA.
