Element 25 Limited (ASX:E25) has announced the start of resource infill drilling  at its 100 percent owned Butcherbird high purity manganese project after receiving comprehensive heritage clearances from the Nyiyaparli Native Title Claim Group.

Australian focused Element 25 is a manganese developer currently focused on exploring and developing its Butcherbird project.

As quoted from the press release:

The survey that was completed was a Site Avoidance Survey meaning that the areas targeted for the resource infill drilling programme and future mining and infrastructure development are now cleared.

The resource infill drilling programme has commenced and comprises 200 holes for a total of approximately 7,000m. The results will form the basis of a revised mineral resource estimate which is expected to upgrade the planned starter pit area from inferred and indicated to indicated and measured categories as a basis for a maiden reserve, expected to be published with the PFS.

Drilling is expected to take approximately four weeks, with assays due in December 2018. A revised resource estimate is planned for January 2019.
