The focus is on assessing known mineralised zones and discovering new areas of high-grade mineralisation.

Metallis said its exploration team is employing modern technologies including a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer to facilitate immediate on-site analysis.

This is complemented by traditional methods such as rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and trenching.

In February 2024, Metallis secured an option to acquire a full interest in the Greyhound property from Greyhound Mining & Milling.

Located in Custer County, around 42km north-west of Stanley, Idaho, the property was the hub of a silver mining camp in the early 1900s.

The Greyhound Mine saw a brief period of mining activity from 1980 to 1991, with the last ore shipment to a smelter occurring in 2000. Since then, the property has remained largely unexplored.

Metallis president and CEO Fiore Aliperti said: “Exploration efforts will focus on both existing sites with historic mining activity and underexplored areas which offer the potential of new exploration targets.

“We are well-prepared to leverage our technical expertise and apply modern exploration methods to advance our understanding of the Greyhound property’s mineral potential.”
