Copper and gold exploration company Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: CPM) has concluded follow up reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Raven, Yarraman, Mafic Sweats South and Mafic Sweats North prospects within the Mt Isa East Project.
This latest drilling campaign was following up on notable occurrence of copper oxide mineralisation covering a substantial thickness of 65m at 0.34% Cu from the surface (hole 23MERC014), previously identified at Mafic Sweats South in 2023.
Moreover, the drilling aimed to test for extensions to Cu-Au mineralisation discovered in 2023 at Raven as well as investigate a coinciding induced polarisation survey (IP) chargeability anomaly and a copper soil geochemistry anomaly at the Yarraman Cu-Au Prospect.
