Alien Metals gains lift from strong Munni Munni drilling and resource upgrade plans

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

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

Alien Metals has reported Phase 1 drilling results from the Munni Munni platinum-palladium-copper-nickel project in Western Australia, operated by joint venture partner GreenTech Metals, where Alien holds a 30% free-carried interest and a 17.1% equity stake in the operator. The programme has confirmed thicker PGE-Cu-Ni zones, delivered some of the highest PGE3 plus gold grades recorded at the shallow Ferguson Reef, validated historic drilling through twin holes and core resampling, and identified broader mineralised envelopes that support assessing bulk mining potential ahead of an updated JORC 2012 resource estimate incorporating platinum group metals, gold, copper and nickel using a net smelter return cut-off.

The strong assay results at Munni Munni enhance Alien’s exposure to critical and precious metals alongside its core iron ore assets, potentially improving the project’s economic outlook and supporting GreenTech’s strategy to focus on shallow high-grade mineralisation. For Alien shareholders, the combination of a free-carried interest in one of Australia’s larger PGM systems and equity in the project operator offers leveraged upside to any future resource upgrade or development decision, while underpinning the company’s broader Pilbara-focused growth narrative.

Spark’s Take on UFO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, 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.
