Full Summary

Boab Metals Limited (ASX: BML) has received confirmation from its regional fuel supplier, Cambridge Gulf Limited, regarding the security of diesel supply for the Company's activities in the East Kimberley, including construction works at the Sorby Hills Project. According to the supplier, current diesel stocks in Wyndham are sufficient to supply the region through April-May, with additional shipments scheduled for mid-April and late May, and a further shipment provisionally scheduled for late June. The diesel supplied into the region is imported via Singapore and sourced from refineries across Asia, including several of the world's largest facilities located in India and South Korea. Based on advice from its supplier, Boab does not expect any near-term issues maintaining diesel supply for construction activities at the Sorby Hills Project. Over the longer term, the Sorby Hills Project is expected to have reduced exposure to diesel price volatility due to its planned connection to grid power sourced from the Ord River Hydro Power Station, which will provide a stable and lower-emission power source for operations. The Company will continue to monitor fuel supply conditions and will update the market if any material changes occur.

Outlook

The Company does not expect any near-term issues maintaining diesel supply for construction activities at the Sorby Hills Project. Over the longer term, the Sorby Hills Project is expected to have reduced exposure to diesel price volatility due to its planned connection to grid power sourced from the Ord River Hydro Power Station.
