Alien Metals gave an exploration target of between 245mln tonnes (high case) and 74mln tonnes (low case) for three of the targets.

Drilling data was insufficient for a target from BHP 20 and BHP 19, Alien said.

Bill Brodie Good, Alien’s technical director, said he was extremely pleased with the review results.
