Caprice Resources Limited (ASX: CRS) is a recently listed minerals exploration company based in Australia. It aims to increase shareholders value by exploring and exploiting the mineral resource projects.
On 10th April 2019, the company announced that it has received multiple high-grade rock chip results from a successful rock chip sampling campaign which was carried out and completed at the Northampton Project in Western Australia in which the company owns 100% interest. This sampling was focused on the Nooka Prospect from where a total of 13 samples were collected. Nooka Prospect is situated in close proximity to the historical producing lead-copper mine Wheal Fortune.
The samples were taken from known targets in the Nooka prospect which targeted mineralisation within a shear zone trending 040-050N and dipping 70o to the west. The mineralogy of the samples consisted of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and pyrite while secondary mineralisation included malachite, azurite and covellite. The best results from the samples were
- Chiverton 1: 10.8% Pb
- Chiverton 2: 16.5% Pb
- Nooka Main 1: 2.9% Pb
- Nooka Main 2: 4.8% Pb, 2.9% Cu, 5.2% Zn
The company is conducting a follow-up exploration through first-pass auger drilling campaign with approximately 50 holes till its completion.
The commencement of the field-based exploration at Northampton Project was already being announced by the company on 27th February 2019. The activities were aimed to define base metals targets at the Nooka Prospect. The company had also designed an initial program of works after going through a desktop review of all available data. These works included the geochemical sampling of which the results are being announced today.
