Metals & Mining company, Mithril Resources Limited (ASX: MTH) today announced the start of fieldwork at Billy Hills Zinc Project- 100%owned. Additionally, the company notified about the sale agreement of 15% interest in the Spargos Reward Gold Project.
As per the announcement dated 3 June 2019, the field work at the companyâs priority Billy Hills Zinc Project, located 25Kms east of Fitzroy Crossing WA and adjacent to the former Pillara Zinc Mine, would commence this week. Under this program, the geological mapping and surface sampling (field inspection) of targets would be undertaken to define specific targets for drill-tests; these targets were identified from Mithrilâs desktop review of historic exploration data.
The company further intends to conduct meeting with the projectâs Traditional Owners and local pastoralists to brief on its proposed 2019 exploration program as well as to organise heritage clearances of proposed drill sites.
Mithril believes that Billy Hills project is under-explored compared to Pillara Mine Lease (ML04/118), which hosts the Pillara Zinc Deposit wherein the bulk of historic drilling and geophysical testing had been carried out. Also, MTH intends to target large scale Zn + Pb + Ag at the project.

Furthermore, historical wide spaced drilling also intersected broad zones of mineralisation within the controlling structure, which were undertaken along strike to the north within Mithrilâs tenure.
