How Far Can Nimy Resources Expand Its Block 3 Gallium Deposit?

Expanding the Gallium Frontier

Nimy Resources has announced compelling new data from its Block 3 gallium deposit within the Mons Project in Western Australia. A recent high-resolution aeromagnetic survey has revealed that the geological unit hosting the existing gallium resource extends for an additional 3.5 kilometres beyond the current JORC resource boundary. This extension is more than eight times the strike length of the previously defined resource, signalling a substantial opportunity for resource growth.

The current JORC-compliant resource comprises 2,700 tonnes of contained gallium trioxide concentrated within a narrow 400-metre corridor. Importantly, the resource remains open both along strike and at depth, with existing estimates limited to oxide and transition zones down to approximately 100 metres. Exploration targets have been defined at 26 million tonnes grading 100 grams per tonne gallium oxide and 100 million tonnes at 810 parts per million total rare earth oxides, underscoring the scale of potential mineralisation.

Advancing Metallurgy and Market Access

To unlock the value of this resource, Nimy has engaged Strategic Metallurgy Pty Ltd to conduct metallurgical test work aimed at producing a high-grade gallium concentrate. Success in this endeavour would position Nimy as a key supplier of gallium to Western markets, where demand for this critical metal is rising due to its applications in electronics and renewable energy technologies.

Complementing these technical advances, Nimy is actively negotiating with Federal Government departments to access the recently announced $1.2 billion critical minerals strategic reserve fund. The company believes that the high-grade nature of the Block 3 resource, its proximity to surface, and its fully ratified JORC status align well with the fund’s eligibility criteria, potentially accelerating project development.

Strategic Partnerships and Future Exploration

Beyond domestic development, Nimy is progressing cooperation with U.S. partner M2i Global to establish a supply chain into the American market, reflecting the strategic importance of gallium in global supply chains. Meanwhile, exploration efforts continue with prioritisation of new high-grade targets along the extended strike and at depth, as well as evaluation of other prospects within the Mons Project, including the Masson-Thompson mineralised trend.

Geoscience consultants SRK have played a pivotal role in defining exploration targets based on drilling and geophysical data, while Nimy’s internal geological expertise has been enhanced by the latest aeromagnetic survey, which offers unprecedented detail on bedrock structures and stratigraphy. This integrated approach is expected to refine target selection and guide drilling programs planned for 2026.

A New Frontier in Critical Minerals

The Mons Project represents a district-scale discovery in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, with multi-commodity potential including copper, nickel, cobalt, gold, and platinum group elements alongside gallium and rare earth elements. Nimy’s methodical, science-based approach aims to unlock this potential while creating shareholder value. The company’s ongoing collaboration with CSIRO and other technical advisors underscores its commitment to advancing exploration and development in this emerging mineral province.
