AVZ Minerals Limited provided an operational update in relation to its flagship Manono Lithium and Tin Project ("Manono Project"). Delineation drilling at the Roche Dure lithium deposit at the Manono Project has progressed and is expected to confirm the reinterpretation of the hanging wall pegmatite contact about 50m further northeast as indicated by the ore discovered in an earlier `outlying" piezometer drillhole. This current program, targets completion of approximately 15,000m of diamond drilling and to date approximately 1,500m across 8 holes, has been completed out of the planned 48-hole program.

Two rigs are currently double shifting with plans to add a third rig. Currently there are no assays available and the contained percentages of spodumene are estimates only, which require follow up assay results for inclusion in the new resource estimates that will be undertaken at the conclusion of the drilling programme. These results will be published in due course.
