The drill hole U6681 intersected a significant width within the No.2 Dolomite, which is the primary Area 5 host rock, in close proximity to the granite contact and it also continued into the granite; however, did not return any significant assay.
The drill holes in the Red Rock Member, namely U6682 and U6913 penetrated the granite as well and returned results as shown above.
As per the company, the results from newly identified down-plunge (Bell 50) are considered highly significant and provide a potential for the extension of Area 5 mineralised system until 200m towards the down-plunge.
Mr Simon Rigby, a member of the Australian Institue of Geoscientists, complied the exploration results, and the company qualified him as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC 2012 edition.
