Assays at King Snake Confirm Strike Extension

Blackstone Minerals Limited (“Blackstone" or the “Company") is pleased to report that further assay results have been received from drilling at its King Snake Massive Sulfide Vein (MSV) prospect (refer Table 1, Table 2 & Appendix 1).


The continuous series of drill holes reported here returned the following significant intercepts:

King Snake is a high priority MSV target at the Company's flagship Ta Khoa Nickel – Copper – PGE project in Northern Vietnam, and resource extension drilling continues to deliver excellent results (also refer ASX announcements 11 March 2021 & 13 May 2021). Highlights from the ongoing exploration program at King Snake include: \

• New intersections KS21-11 and KS21-12 together with historic drill results have defined a strike length of ~900m at King Snake which includes MSV, semi-massive sulfide vein (SMSV) and disseminated sulfides (DSS) (refer Figures 2 & 4).

• Recent step-out drilling has extended mineralisation down plunge west of historic drilling. Blackstone has mobilised its in-house geophysics crew at King Snake to perform Downhole Electro-magnetic (DHEM) surveys.

• DHEM surveys will inform infill drilling at the King Snake prospect as well as potentially identifying new sulfide targets at depth.

Top 5 Canadian Nickel Stocks of 2025

Nickel prices have experienced volatility in the past few years due to supply and demand uncertainty.

This trend has continued into 2025, and is expected to remain in place for the year. While this environment has been tough, some nickel stocks are still thriving amid the ongoing uncertainty.

Supply is expected to outflank demand over the short term, but the longer-term outlook for the metal is strong. Demand from the electric vehicle (EV) industry is one reason nickel's outlook looks bright further into the future.

Top 3 ASX Nickel Stocks of 2025

With its diverse applications in both technology and industry, nickel is a metal that will never go out of style.

Nickel is commonly used in alloys to create stainless steel, but more recently has found a modern use: batteries. As the electric vehicle trend gains steam, the base metal is in high demand for its role in lithium-ion batteries.

However, nickel has encountered much volatility in the past few years.

Nickel Price Update: Q2 2025 in Review

After spiking above US$20,000 per metric ton (MT) in May 2024, nickel prices have experienced a downward trend, mainly remaining in the US$15,000 to US$16,000 range.

Indonesia's elevated production levels have been a primary factor contributing to these low prices, as sustained high output continues to oversupply the market. The supply surplus has had a knock-on effect, putting pressure on western producers who have been forced to slash their production to maintain profitability.

Elevated output coincides with electric vehicle (EV) demand, which is under threat as market uptake has slowed, and policy changes in the United States are expected to increase costs for consumers and lower sentiment for the vehicles.
