ASX Announcement 25 June 2021
Further Cu-Au Mineralisation Identified
at Boda East
Highlights
-
♦ Alice Queen reports results for holes 20BEDH007, 20BEDH009 and 21BEDH010
-
♦ Further Cu-Au mineralisation identified along the northerly trend, with intrusions and alteration
-
♦ Better Cu-Au intercepts recently returned include:
-
20BEDH007: 7m @ 0.03 g/t Au & 0.28% Cu from 561m
- including 1m @ 0.14 g/t Au & 1.03% Cu from 566m
-
20BEDH009: 5m @ 0.01 g/t Au & 0.19% Cu from 185m
-
20BEDH010: 3m @ 0.01 g/t Au & 0.11 % Cu from 696m
-
♦ Some elevated zones of copper in 20BEDH010 indicate the northern area remains open, large areas east and at depth also remain untested
-
♦ The Nindethana Fault, a significant structure, remains untested
-
♦ A review of results is ongoing to the nature of the intrusions and Cu-Au prospectivity
Advanced gold and copper explorer, Alice Queen Limited ( ASX:AQX ) (“ Alice Queen ” or the “ Company ”), is pleased to provide further results from the Boda East diamond drilling program at its Yarindury Project (EL8646), located in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW.
Alice Queen’s Managing Director, Andrew Buxton said,
All results have now been returned from the Boda East drilling, with the better results clearly demonstrating they are associated with the magnetic intrusive complex where “ we have targeted the bulk of our drilling. We are continuing our work program to better understand the nature and further potential of this area.
The remaining results from the previously reported ten-hole diamond program targeting Cu-Au bearing porphyry systems in a magnetic intrusive complex at Boda East are reported in this announcement. The results from holes 20BEDH007, 20BEDH009 and 21BEDH010 are provided in Tables 2 & 3 and are detailed in Figures 1-4. The results confirm the persistence of the discrete diorite-monzonite dykes hosted by shoshonitic mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks. Further discrete intercepts of mineralisation were identified along the western trend, supported by results from 20BEDH007 & 20BEDH009. There is evidence that the mineralisation may persist ~800m to the north in 21BEDH010, with some elevated zones of copper being present. The northern area remains open.
The best results to date lie in the vicinity of holes 20BEDH001 and 20BEDH007 with discrete Cu-Au-Mo intercepts and surrounding disseminated sulphides[1,2] west of the Limestone Fault, where the drill program was targeted. Considering that the significant Boda prospect lies less than 2 km to the west (Figure 1), an ongoing review will continue with the aim of understanding the nature of the intrusions and further Cu-Au potential at Boda East.
