During April and May, the Company completed approx. 2966m of RC drilling in a programme of 21 holes (completed to a maximum depth of 206m) within its Phase 2 campaign targeting the northern portion of the Motters strike. An additional 70 holes for 778m were completed at various stockpiles created during previous mining events (as outlined in ASX release dated
Additional RC drilling is planned to test a 300m southern extension of the Motters zone, where wide-spaced historic RC and diamond drilling has intersected significant copper mineralisation in the eastern wall of the open pit. The extension is historically poorly drill-tested in this area due to access issues. Phase 1 and 2 drilling has confirmed the interpretation of mineralisation at the north end of Motters ahead of testing the southern extension of the Motters strike, where historically drilled grades within the zone are encouraging. The Motters mineralised zone is currently interpreted to be the sheared eastern limb of a folded Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) horizon which, to the west of Motters, contributed all of the production history.
