en.Wedoany.com Reported - Koba Resources (ASX:KOB) has commenced its maiden drilling program at the Mt Garnet Tin-Tungsten Project in North Queensland, Australia, with a total meterage of 3,000 meters. Drilling will prioritize testing the Stannex Prospect, which features a 2 km long by 0.5 km wide soil tin anomaly, coinciding with strong induced polarization chargeability anomalies and rock chip samples grading up to 21.30% tin.

The historic Gilmore Mine is also a drilling target. This mine produced 26,169 tonnes of ore at a grade of 7.3% tin, and previous limited drilling returned multiple high-grade intercepts, including 1m @ 5.2% tin, 3m @ 1% tin, 3m @ 1.2% tungsten (W), and 3m @ 0.95% tungsten.

Managing Director Ben Vallerine stated that the Stannex Prospect presents a clear drill target with a strike extent exceeding 2 km, accompanied by high-grade soil tin anomalies, strong geophysical anomalies, and high-grade surface mineralization. Initial drilling at the Gilmore Mine will follow up on previously identified multiple high-grade tin and tungsten mineralized intercepts.

Recent induced polarization surveys completed at Stannex indicate lateral continuity and depth extension of the target. Koba Resources acquired the Mt Garnet and Stannary Hills tin-tungsten projects in October 2025 and reported high-grade tin results from initial sampling at Mt Garnet in December 2025.

Following the completion of the Mt Garnet program, the company plans to initiate another 3,000-meter drilling program in the third quarter of 2026 at the Kitchener and Jiminy prospects within the Stannary Hills Tin-Tungsten Project. Results from recent rock chip sampling targeting tungsten at Mt Garnet are expected in July 2026 to further assess the tungsten potential of the project.
