**Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK)** has reported further high-grade drilling results from its **100%-owned Molaoi zinc project in Greece**, as work continues to upgrade the existing Inferred Resource to Indicated status.

Hole **HMO-020** returned several mineralised intersections, including **2.34m at 6.2% zinc, 20.2g/t silver, 15.1g/t germanium and 0.3% lead** from 215.6m.

Additional intersections included **2.86m at 4.1% zinc, 24.5g/t silver, 9.3g/t germanium and 1.2% lead**, and **2.23m at 5.2% zinc, 24.4g/t silver, 4.1g/t germanium and 0.7% lead**.

Rockfire said each successful hole is expected to contribute additional tonnes towards its targeted **Indicated Resource**, with drilling at HMO-021 currently in progress but temporarily suspended during the summer holiday period.

Alongside drilling, the company has started **comminution testing** to assess crushing and grinding requirements, as well as power needs for a future operation. Point-load testing is also underway to assess ground strength for potential underground mining.

Rockfire is additionally evaluating metallurgical testwork covering **flotation, zinc ingot production and recovery of a germanium product** as part of its feasibility work.

Chief Executive **David Price** said the latest hole successfully confirmed multiple mineralised zones and should help build tonnage as the company advances Molaoi towards a higher-confidence resource and development studies.
