Thursday’s Gossan Porphyry Target – Drilling Update
Three deep diamond drill holes completed, but primary target remains untested
o It is proximal to the intersection of north-south and north-west (Cayley Lode) structures; and
o It sits below a significant copper-in-soil auger anomaly.
Several key business development initiatives are currently being evaluated to enhance shareholder value.
Thursday’s Gossan Porphyry Target – Drilling Update
Three deep diamond drill holes completed, but primary target remains untested
- Three of the four planned 800m deep diamond drill holes at Thursday’s Gossan have been completed, with all three intersecting zinc-rich mineralisation consistent with a number of previous holes drilled below the plunge of the high-grade copper-gold-silver Cayley Lode.
- Despite four attempts (two holes and two wedges), the south-easternmost diamond drill hole, which was designed to test the high-priority deep porphyry target, could not be progressed through a major structural zone to the target depth.
- As a contingency, an alternate drill hole has been designed to test this target from an east-to-west drill direction to avoid the problematic structural zone. Drilling is expected to resume in September once rig access can be re-established following the winter rain period.
- This primary target zone has a number of prospective attributes including:
o It is proximal to the intersection of north-south and north-west (Cayley Lode) structures; and
o It sits below a significant copper-in-soil auger anomaly.
