C29 Metals Limited (“ C29 ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to advise that it has secured a drill rig and is expecting the regulatory approvals to be granted this week allowing for drilling to commence at the Reddy Creek Prospect in early December.
The company has planned up to 9 holes (1,300m) diamond drill program to confirm the significant historically high-grade zones of copper, lead, zinc, manganese, silver and gold (see ASX announcement November 9, 2021) and to test the extensions of the mineralisation between the Reedy Creek Mine and Endeavour 1 prospects (Figure 1).
C29’s Executive Director Mark Major commented: “We are very fortunate to have secured a drill rig to undertake this work and are looking forward to commencing drilling as soon as possible. This program will allow us to potentially validate and grow the footprint of the polymetallic and gold mineralisation.”
The Reedy Creek Project comprises of a granted exploration license (EL8541) and covers an area of around 42km[2] , located 20km west of the township of Cudal in the Eastern Lachlan Fold Belt (ELFB) of Central NSW. The ELFB is a significant mineral province in Eastern Australia host to a number of world class copper-gold systems including the giant Cadia Cu-Au porphyry district and the North Parkes Cu-Au porphyry district. The ELFB is also host to a number of notable skarn associated base metal and gold systems, including Big Cadia, Little Cadia and Brown’s Creek. The project is located close to major regional centers, only 60km west of Orange and 57km southeast of Parkes.

The Reedy Creek project is considered prospective for hydrothermal polymetallic (Au-Cu-Pb-ZnAg) deposits associated with the Middle Devonian Dulladerry Volcanics, within the Lachlan Transverse Zone (LTZ), Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW. A review of prior exploration data has identified potential for sulphide rich polymetallic (Au-Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Mn) skarn, breccia hosted gold - base metal and epithermal gold deposits in a number of structural & lithological settings at the Reedy Creek Mine, Endeavour 1, Mossvale & Kala Prospects (Figure 1).
The base-metal mineralisation is interpreted as skarn style, while the gold is related to a latter cross-cutting epithermal vein event. The mineralisation is located within a northeast trending structural corridor ranging between 150 & 200m wide and extending over a minimum of 1,000m between the Reedy Creek Mine and Endeavour 1 prospect (Figure 1). Much of the prospective zone is covered by transported sediment up to 15m thick. Significant potential remains within the corridor to define a shallow precious and/or base metal rich ore deposit.
The timing of drilling is conditional upon obtaining the regulatory approvals. It is our expectation based on information provided to us by our consultants that they should be forthcoming any day. The company cannot see any reason why they would not be granted.
