Osmond Resources Limited (ASX: OSM) has confirmed the official award of the Orión Investigation Permit (Reg No. 16271), unlocking 85.6km² of prime ground at the Orión EU Critical Minerals Project in Spain. This milestone paves the way for the maiden 15-hole drilling program, set to commence this quarter.

💡 Key Highlights:

✅ Orión Permit Awarded – covering 85.6km² of highly prospective ground. ✅ 15-hole Drilling Program to kick off this quarter. ✅ Acquisition of 80% of Iberian Critical Minerals Pty Ltd to be finalised shortly. ✅ Iberian Critical Minerals owns 100% of Omnis Mineria SL, which holds 75.5% of Orión Project, with the right to move to 95% post-Scoping Study. ✅ Remaining 5% may be acquired via royalty buyout of US$750k. ✅ Two flexible milestone-based tranches (42.5M shares each) allow structured project progression.
