Rockfire Resources (LSE:ROCK) has completed its third drill hole, HMO-010, at the wholly owned Molaoi zinc deposit in Greece, intersecting several mineralised zones consistent with the existing geological model. Portable XRF readings recorded strong grades of zinc, lead, silver and copper, including peak zinc values exceeding 36%, alongside notable silver and copper intervals.

The company said the results reinforce confidence in the continuity and quality of mineralisation at Molaoi and are expected to support its objective of upgrading the current zinc, silver and lead resource from Inferred to Indicated status. In addition, the drilling programme is intended to define what could become Europe’s only reported Inferred germanium resource, adding a critical minerals dimension to the project.

Laboratory assays are pending to confirm the portable XRF results. Rockfire said drilling will pause over the Christmas period before resuming in January 2026, with the potential deployment of a second drill rig. Management highlighted Molaoi’s growing strategic relevance in the supply of both base and critical metals.
