Alien Metals Ltd ( (GB:UFO) ) has provided an announcement.

Alien Metals has reported that joint venture partner GreenTech Metals has completed a Phase 1 drilling program at the Munni Munni platinum‑palladium‑copper‑nickel project in Western Australia ahead of schedule, aided by the strong preservation of historical core that allowed resampling in place of some new drilling. The campaign, totalling 2,682 metres across 12 holes and extensive historical core sampling, is aimed at validating historic resource data to update Munni Munni to modern JORC 2012 standards, positioning Alien to benefit from potential resource modernisation and future development amid firmer PGE markets and ongoing consolidation in the district.

The program has dispatched more than 2,000 samples for assay, with results expected within weeks and resource consultants Snowden Optiro engaged on quality assurance and resource re‑estimation, which could underpin a new mineral resource estimate if data prove robust. Successful conversion of Munni Munni’s historical resource would enhance Alien’s exposure to one of Australia’s largest PGM systems alongside its core iron ore portfolio, potentially strengthening its strategic footing in battery and precious metals and offering shareholders leveraged upside without additional near‑term funding commitments, as its 30% JV stake is free‑carried to bankable feasibility study.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:UFO) stock is a Hold with a £0.21 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Alien Metals Ltd stock, see the GB:UFO Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:UFO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:UFO is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, and negative free cash flow) despite improved 2024 loss and cash-burn trends and low leverage. Technicals are comparatively strong with price above key moving averages and positive MACD, while valuation remains constrained by the company’s loss-making profile and lack of dividend support.
