AVZ Minerals Limited provided an update in relation to the Manono Lithium and Tin Project ("Manono Project"). The diamond drilling campaign at Roche Dure will be focussed on areas identified as highly prospective which were inaccessible at the time of the last round of resource drilling but remained open at depth and along strike. This program will extend the knowledge of the orebody by approximately another 800 metres from section 7600mN to 8,400mN.

The first of the new drillholes was started on 7 July on planned hole 7.8_1 i.e. rebadged as MO22DD001 on section 7,800mN. The campaign will see 48 drillholes - for a total of 14,905 metres - intersect the Roche Dure orebody to an average depth of about 200 metres below ground level which will require an updated JORC2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate to be generated once the assays results are received. At that point, the geotechnical information gathered during the drilling program will be applied to extend the current open pit mine design to the north-east over any new mineral resources identified during the program.

Updated mineable reserves will be generated and published based on the new open pit mine design and prevailing lithium price projections.
