2026-07-07 | Allied Critical Metals Confirms New High-Grade Tungsten Mineralization at the Venise Breccia with 13 Metres of 1.00% WO3 including 3 Metres of 4.15% WO3 | CSE:ACM | Press Release
Allied Critical Metals (CSE:ACM) reported first drill assay results from the Venise Breccia at its 100%-owned Borralha tungsten project in Portugal. Hole Bo_BV_01b returned 13.0m at 1.00% WO3 (incl. 3.0m at 4.15% WO3) plus broader MoS2 intervals. The new breccia system is ~400m from Santa Helena and not included in the current PEA; drilling continues.
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
If follow-up drilling confirms size, continuity, and depth, Venise could materially increase Borralha’s scale, mine life, and strategic value, potentially leading to future resource and economic studies beyond the current development scenario.
Market read
Fresh drill assays show high-grade WO3 (including 13m @ 1.00% WO3 and 3m @ 4.15% WO3) plus broader MoS2, creating upside optionality versus the existing PEA scope.
What to watch
The article notes Venise is outside the current mine plan/PEA; traders should wait for assay validation, additional holes (Bo_BV_02b/04a), and any updated resource model before extrapolating economics.
Background
Allied’s Borralha Tungsten Project in northern Portugal has a recently completed PEA based on the Santa Helena Breccia; Venise Breccia is a newly confirmed second mineralized system ~400m away.
Ticker impact
Allied Critical Metals reports first drill assays confirming a new high-grade Venise Breccia tungsten-molybdenum discovery outside its current PEA mine plan.
Near-term upside bias for ACMIF on exploration success, with follow-through risk tied to assay validation and subsequent drilling results.
The article discloses fresh, first-assay drill results (not a recap) and explicitly states Venise is not included in the current mine plan, implying potential for material project expansion if continuity/depth are confirmed.
Market effects
Supports the narrative of expanding tungsten supply/district-scale discoveries in Europe, potentially improving sentiment toward tungsten developers.
Could increase attention to northern Portugal critical-minerals exploration activity and permitting/financing interest.
Reinforces western critical-minerals diversification themes, though impact is company-specific until resource/economic updates follow.
Counterpoint
High-grade intervals in a first hole may not translate into mineable tonnage; true widths are unknown and continuity at depth remains unproven.
