Shares in Alvo Minerals Ltd (ASX:ALV) were trading at $0.068, down 20.93%, during the 27 October 2026 trading session, while the S&P/ASX 200 index was at 8,852.80, up 0.49% (42.90 points), at 3:40 pm GMT+11. Alvo Minerals is an ASX-listed explorer advancing the Bluebush ionic adsorption clay heavy rare earth project in Tocantins, Brazil. On the same day, the company released an announcement dated 27 October 2026 on its electromagnetic survey at Boa Vista.

EM Survey Results (27 October 2026)

In its 27 October 2026 announcement, Alvo said a portable electromagnetic survey mapped the depth profile of clays at Boa Vista. The highest EM response lines up with the deepest drill holes, including diamond holes drilled through the full clay profile to fresh granite, and the survey shows thick, continuous clays across the eastern side of the prospect.

Several auger holes ended in mineralisation, so the survey is an input to the maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for Bluebush, targeted for early 2027.

Drill Intercepts and Next Work

Reported intercepts include 19.5 m at 1,324 ppm total rare earth oxide from 0.5 m in BLD004, including 3.5 m at 2,691 ppm, and 5.0 m at 1,390 ppm from surface in BLD002. Across significant Boa Vista intercepts, dysprosium and terbium oxides average about 26 ppm.

The survey moves next to the Florence prospect, where auger drilling has completed 22 holes with clay up to 20 m thick. Assays and leach results are due from late October for more than 1,000 samples from 188 auger holes.

Sector Context

The broader market was higher during the session, with the S&P/ASX 200 index was at 8,852.80, up 0.49% (42.90 points), at 3:40 pm GMT+11. Rare earth explorers working on ionic clay projects typically report auger and drilling results, leach testwork and geophysics ahead of a maiden resource estimate.

Alvo Minerals shares were trading at $0.068, down 20.93%, against a benchmark gain of 0.49%, a gap of 21.42 percentage points. The figures are session data recorded while the market was open and can change before the market finishes trading.

Risks

The EM survey measures electrical response and not rare earth grade, and the company noted several auger holes ended in mineralisation. Assay and leach results are still pending, and the resource estimate is a target.

What Lies Ahead

The release points to assays and leach results from late October, the move of the EM survey to Florence and the maiden resource estimate targeted for early 2027.

Closing View

Alvo shares fell during the session on the day of the survey announcement. Assay results and the resource estimate remain the next reported items.
