(Alliance News) - Alien Metals Ltd on Friday said it had made a "significant step on the pathway to production" at its Hancock project.
The Australian-focused minerals exploration and development company has been granted a mining lease by the Western Australian Department of Mines for the iron ore project in the Pinderi Hills.
Following this, Alien now has security of tenure for a 21-year term until April 2045.
Executive Director Guy Robertson said: "The company has made significant progress and is now in discussion with various parties regarding the required development funding."
Alien's technical team is now focused on a mining proposal submission as well as an environmental assessment, and continues to assess strategies for increasing the existing resources and reserves at the site.
Alien shares were up 7.1% to 0.22 pence each in London on Friday morning.
