Drone survey opens new Sb-Au exploration areas at Zopkhito
- Drone survey to assist with safely opening up areas for future sampling
- Realignment and recalibration of historical data sample locations
- Advancing 7,000 - 10,000 metre drilling campaign across multiple high-priority targets
Krakatoa Resources Limited (ASX: KTA) is providing an update on the progress of its exploration programs at the Zopkhito Antimony-Gold Project in Georgia, Eastern Europe. The company has commenced a drone survey within accessible adits to assist with safely opening up areas for future sampling to obtain JORC-compliant samples from the high-grade antimony veins and gold-rich alteration zones. The drone survey will produce highly accurate LiDAR images of each adit, supporting the realignment and recalibration of historical data sample locations and providing a higher level of positional accuracy. A 7,000 - 10,000 metre drilling campaign is also continuing to advance across multiple high-priority targets located between historical adits. The current program is focused on validating and expanding the historic foreign estimate of 225,000 tonnes at 11.6% Sb and 7.1 million tonnes at 3.7 g/t Au, with the aim of generating sufficient data to support a maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource estimate. Antimony is recognised as a critical mineral by both the European Union and the United States, with over 90% of global supply controlled by China, creating strong demand for secure, Western-aligned sources like the Zopkhito Project, which is strategically located within Europe's critical minerals corridor.
Krakatoa is advancing toward its initial JORC Resource milestone at the Zopkhito Project, with a steady sequence of operational updates and assay results expected through late 2025.
