Tivan secures final approvals to commence drilling at Walshy’s Wall

• Tivan is planning to undertake a maiden drilling program at Walshy’s Wall, a manganese-barite gossan at the Sandover Fluorite Project, following receipt of final regulatory approval from the Northern Territory Government and a Sacred Site Clearance Certificate from the Central Land Council.
• Rock chip sampling at Walshy’s Wall previously identified a manganese-barite gossan extending over 1km of strike length, returning grades of up to 44.8% manganese (Mn).
• In addition, elevated levels of copper (Cu), beryllium (Be) and tungsten (W) were identified, suggesting a possible link to a broader hydrothermal system and highlighting potential for a polymetallic system.
• Ultra high-grade fluorite of up to 98.4% CaF2 was also identified in the same outcrop as the gossan.
• Planning is focussed on a staged program of 31 reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes, with nine priority holes to be drilled along the gossan as Stage One, commencing from October.
