 High-Grade Copper Samples Taken from Blue Rocks Project in Australia

Oracle Power PLC (AIM:ORCP), an international project developer, is pleased to update that further to its announcement on 19 June 2024, company consultant geologists have recovered what they consider to be on initial analysis excellent copper samples from site at the Blue Rock Valley Copper and Silver Project (the "Project"). 

Figures 1 to 5 show samples of what appear to be very high-grade copper mineralisation, which has led to the name of the project. The Project is located 165km southeast of Onslow, the main port for the region's Iron and LNG exports, which is a multi-user port. The Project site is accessed from the North West Coastal Highway on a well-maintained unsealed road. Refer to Figure 6 below for location.

Highlights:

·    Company consultant geologists have now completed a site visit to Blue Rock Valley

·    Samples have been logged, recorded and taken to Perth for analysis

·    Samples will be submitted for assay this week and results will be announced in due         course

·          On confirmation of the high-grade samples from the laboratory, the Company will:

-      Further refine the benefits of ground gravity, electromagnetics or other   geophysical programme over the greater project area

-      Get quotes for a ground based electromagnetic ("EM") survey over an        airborne EM anomaly that was defined as a result of prior work that is undrilled and untested and sits in a syncline of sedimentary rocks that are potentially ideal for base metals (copper, lead, zinc) and silver to be deposited.

-      Undertake drilling when viable.

·    Further targeting tools will continue to be assessed in order to refine and develop targets

·    Gold and uranium are also being targeted as these deposit types occur within the Ashburton Basin

Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented:

"I am very pleased to announce that we have completed a site visit to Blue Rocks, where company geologists took copper samples and photos of mineralisation and the project area. I look forward to the assay results from the laboratory, that will assist in the next steps forward. We will also continue to assess the Project for gold and uranium."

About Blue Rock Valley Copper and Silver Project:

The Project Tenement:

▪     The Project tenement (the "Tenement") covers 32 Blocks (approximately 102km²) (see Figure 6 below) and is composed of one granted exploration licence, E08/3604. Oracle Power announced on the 11 June 2024 that it had exercised its option to acquire 100% of the tenement. The Tenement was granted on 2 October 2023 and expires on 26 October 2028, but is renewable. The first term is therefore five years with a possible initial extension of five years and further extensions of two years thereafter, with 40% of the licence area to be surrendered at the end of year six.
