Oneiro Energy PLC ( (GB:SWT) ) has shared an announcement.

Switch Metals has completed the resource washing programme for its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at the Issia tantalum project on time and within budget, marking the end of fieldwork for the initial estimate. Independent laboratory assays and geological modelling are progressing, with the first resource, MRE-1, expected in the coming weeks and prepared by Arethuse Geology.

The company plans a phased MRE strategy, starting with eluvial and colluvial targets in MRE-1, followed by incremental updates MRE-2 and MRE-3 to incorporate tantalum-rich and alluvial drainage targets. Management views completion of MRE-1 as a key milestone toward technical and economic studies, a future mining licence application, and early cash flow, positioning Issia as a potential conflict-free tantalum supply amid record prices and rising ethical sourcing demand.
