Tranches 2 and 3 therefore provide up to **A$1 million of remaining availability**.\n\nAlien said the amended facility gives it greater flexibility while it considers **alternative capital sources and potential asset sales**.\n\nThe company is also reviewing strategic options for its Pilbara iron ore portfolio, comprising the **90%-owned Hancock Project and 100%-owned Vivash and Brockman projects**.\n\nOptions under consideration include continued low-cost technical work, **joint ventures, strategic partnerships, asset sales or other monetisation structures**.\n\nAlien said renewed interest in iron ore, with direct-shipping ore recently trading around **US$100 per tonne**, has encouraged discussions with potential third parties.\n\nAt **Munni Munni**, Alien retains a **30% interest free carried through completion of a bankable feasibility study** and also owns approximately 10.1% of joint-venture partner GreenTech Metals.\n\nThe project hosts a historic **2.2 million ounces of platinum-group metals and gold under JORC 2004**, with an updated resource expected during Q4 2026.\n\nAlien also retains a **30% free-carried interest in the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project** and owns approximately 7% of West Coast Silver.\n\nWest Coast recently raised **A$6 million** to accelerate exploration, with a resource update expected in early Q4.\n\nThe free-carried structures mean Alien currently expects **no immediate funding requirement** for either Munni Munni or Elizabeth Hill.\n\nFunding for the company’s **Georgina Basin IOCG Project** will depend on completion of its technical review, target ranking and future exploration programme.\n\nFor investors, the loan extension reduces near-term refinancing pressure and gives Alien more time to **unlock value from its portfolio before the facility falls due**.\n\nThe next key catalysts are progress on **iron ore monetisation or partnership discussions, resource updates from Munni Munni and Elizabeth Hill, and definition of the next exploration programme at Georgina Basin**."}
