  "summary": "Alien Metals Limited has outlined a 12-month exploration plan for its Georgina Basin Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold Project in Australia's Northern Territory. The programme will cover over 90 conceptual IOCG targets across a 2,500 square kilometer area, with technical reviews and modelling of three key prospects: Leichhardt East, Leichhardt West, and Banks. The company has secured funding for the programme, including a potential BHP Xplor grant and Northern Territory Government exploration co-funding. The timeline includes application submissions in August-September 2026, engagement with Traditional Owners starting in September-October, and expected completion of a full technical review and ranking by June 2027. Alien Metals also holds interests in other projects in the Pilbara region.",
