Millennial Potash Initiates Phase 2 Drilling Program at Its Banio Potash Project in Gabon
Millennial Potash Corp (MLPNF) has launched its Phase 2 drilling program at the Banio Potash Project in Gabon, engaging Merlin Drilling for approximately 1,100m of core drilling. The program includes extending historic hole BA-001 by 400m and completing a new 700m hole, BA-004.
The company aims to evaluate potash-rich horizons at depth and laterally, potentially extending the combined strike length of known mineralization to 8,000m. Current resources stand at 657M tonnes grading 15.9% KCl (Indicated) and 1.159B tonnes grading 16% KCl (Inferred).
Following a recent $4.9M financing round, Millennial is well-funded to complete the drilling program and update its Mineral Resource Estimate, both scheduled for completion in Q2 2025. This will form the foundation for an upcoming Feasibility Study.
Millennial Potash Corp (MLPNF) ha avviato il suo programma di perforazione Fase 2 presso il Progetto Potassico Banio in Gabon, ingaggiando Merlin Drilling per circa 1.100 metri di perforazione a carotaggio. Il programma prevede l'estensione del foro storico BA-001 per 400 metri e il completamento di un nuovo foro di 700 metri, BA-004.
L'azienda mira a valutare gli orizzonti ricchi di potassio in profondità e lateralmente, potenzialmente estendendo la lunghezza totale della mineralizzazione conosciuta a 8.000 metri. Le risorse attuali ammontano a 657 milioni di tonnellate con una gradazione del 15,9% di KCl (Indicate) e 1,159 miliardi di tonnellate con una gradazione del 16% di KCl (Inferred).
Dopo un recente finanziamento di 4,9 milioni di dollari, Millennial è ben finanziata per completare il programma di perforazione e aggiornare la sua Stima delle Risorse Minerali, entrambi previsti per essere completati nel Q2 2025. Questo costituirà la base per un prossimo Studio di Fattibilità.

Millennial Potash Corp (MLPNF)는 가봉의 바니오 포타시 프로젝트에서 2단계 시추 프로그램을 시작하였으며, 약 1,100m의 코어 시추를 위해 Merlin Drilling을 고용하였습니다. 이 프로그램은 역사적인 구멍 BA-001을 400m 연장하고 새로운 700m 구멍인 BA-004를 완공하는 것을 포함합니다.
회사는 깊이와 측면에서 포타슘이 풍부한 지층을 평가하여, 알려진 광물화의 총 연장을 8,000m로 확장할 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 있습니다. 현재 자원은 657백만 톤, KCl 15.9% (표시) 및 1.159억 톤, KCl 16% (추정)입니다.
최근 490만 달러의 자금 조달 라운드 이후, Millennial은 시추 프로그램을 완료하고 2025년 2분기에 예정된 광물 자원 추정치를 업데이트할 충분한 자금을 확보하였습니다. 이는 향후 타당성 연구의 기초가 될 것입니다.

Millennial Potash Corp (MLPNF) hat sein Bohrprogramm der Phase 2 im Banio-Kaliumprojekt in Gabun gestartet und Merlin Drilling für etwa 1.100 Meter Kernbohrungen engagiert. Das Programm umfasst die Verlängerung des historischen Bohrlochs BA-001 um 400 Meter und den Abschluss eines neuen 700 Meter langen Bohrlochs, BA-004.
Das Unternehmen zielt darauf ab, kaliumreiche Horizonte in der Tiefe und seitlich zu bewerten, was möglicherweise die kombinierte Streckenlänge der bekannten Mineralisierung auf 8.000 Meter erweitern könnte. Die aktuellen Ressourcen belaufen sich auf 657 Millionen Tonnen mit einem Gehalt von 15,9% KCl (angezeigt) und 1,159 Milliarden Tonnen mit einem Gehalt von 16% KCl (geschätzt).
Nach einer kürzlichen Finanzierungsrunde über 4,9 Millionen Dollar ist Millennial gut finanziert, um das Bohrprogramm abzuschließen und seine Mineralressourcenschätzung zu aktualisieren, beides soll im Q2 2025 abgeschlossen werden. Dies wird die Grundlage für eine bevorstehende Machbarkeitsstudie bilden.

West Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2025) - Millennial Potash Corp. (TSXV: MLP) (OTCQB: MLPNF) (FSE: X0D) ("MLP", "Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Merlin Drilling to complete its Phase 2 drilling program at its Banio Potash Project in Gabon. The Phase 2 program is comprised of two potash specific drill holes totalling approximately 1,100m of core drilling. The program will include the extension of historic hole BA-001 by approximately 400m and the completion of new hole, BA-004 with a planned estimated final depth of 700m. Both holes are located at the project's North Target and will test the robust potash mineralization horizons laterally and at depth which are present in drillholes BA-002 and BA-003.
Farhad Abasov, Millennial's Chair, commented "Millennial is excited to initiate its Phase 2 drilling program at our Banio Potash Project. Extending the historic drillhole BA-001 and drilling the new drillhole BA-004 has the potential to significantly boost the projects potash resources. Upon completion of the drilling an updated Mineral Resource Estimate will be completed which will form the foundation of the Feasibility Study set to begin in the coming months. Millennial has just closed a
The Phase 2 drill program includes the extension of historic hole BA-001 to a depth of approximately 700m and the drilling of new hole BA-004 located 4km east of drillhole BA-001. Hole BA-001 was drilled to a depth of 364m in 2017 and was just entering the salt sequence when it intersected a localized slump feature with vertical bedding. The hole was terminated, however a revised interpretation based on extensive experience in the Gabon-Congo Basin indicates these local features are not extensive and Millennial's geological model suggests potash horizons are potentially present at depth.
Planed drillhole BA-004 is located approximately 4 km east of BA-001 and is designed to evaluate the lateral extent of the potash horizons into an untested area where seismic surveys support continuity of the potash horizons. The Company's geological model suggests the salt sequence should be intersected approximately 350m - 400m deep in the hole and will potentially host evaporite Cycles II to VIII which include numerous potash horizons in the form of carnallitite.
The objectives of the Phase 2 program are to evaluate the presence of potash-rich horizons at depth and laterally to provide additional data for an updated Mineral Resource Estimate. Identification of additional potash horizons outlined in Phase 2 may extend the combined strike length of know mineralization to 8,000m and can potentially add significant tonnage to the project resources with Indicated MRE currently at 657M tonnes grading
The Phase 2 drill program will be completed in Q2, 2025 and will be followed by a revised Mineral Resource Estimate which is also planned for completion in Q2, 2025.
