1 August 2016 | ASX Release (ASX code: "FYI") |
Perth-based FYI Resources Limited (the "Company" or "FYI") is pleased to provide an update to its drilling program on the Sino-Lao potash project (see previous ASX announcements) that has now been completed.
As reported, the drilling program was designed to:
test the thickness and grade of the potash mineralisation,
provide further exploration target definition; and
to assist in verifying the historic drilling as part of FYI's due diligence investigation of the project.
The vertical PQ/HQ diamond drill hole targeted a total depth of approximately 430m (base of interpreted potash mineralisation). The drilling was challenging and slow given the unusual thickness of the evaporite sequence, which at times required particular technical attention.
The RZK01A drill hole details are:
Collar coordinates: Lat.18.2036 Long. 102.82888
Hole inclination: -90 degrees
Azimuth: 0 degrees
Commencement of evaporite sequence: 187m
Commencement of mineralised sequence: 196m
End of mineralised sequence: 430.1m
End of hole (EOH): 431.5m
A downhole geophysical gamma logging program will now be conducted within the cased drill hole.
The drill hole will then be cemented (plugged) and the drill site fully rehabilitated to the local village convention with their oversight.
Sample preparation and analysis of the potential potash mineralisation is currently underway and the market will be informed on its progress.
