AN extensive new near-mine and regional copper exploration program at Syndicated Metals’ key copper-gold projects in North Queensland has identified a series of new exploration targets which represent priority drilling opportunities. The program is consistent with Syndicated’s objective of growing its copper inventory within economic distance of the Barbara Copper-Gold Project.
Ramelius Resources has discovered significant high grade gold mineralization with the first deeper exploration drill hole below the shallow Milky Way open pit, which is 3.6km southwest of the Checker Gold Mill at Mt Magnet in Western Australia. The hole intersected 6 metres from 189 metres @ 11.64 grams/tonne gold, including 2 metres from 190 metres @ 33.4 grams/tonne.
AXIOM Mining is accelerating exploration at the Isabel Nickel Project in the Solomon Islands with six drill rigs arrive in June to commence a resource drilling program. This program will determine an initial measured and indicated resource that can support the first three to four years of a direct shipping ore (DSO) operation.
SAMPLING at Core Exploration’s Yerelina Zinc Project in South Australia’s north has identified zones over 10 metres wide and zinc values up to 5%. High grade mineralization has been identified in at least five individual structures interpreted to be up to 1.5km long.
