ASX Announcement
23 November 2023
ASX Code: COY
Reverse Circulation Drill Program Commenced at Foxtails and Shuffleton Prospects
Highlights
-
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program has commenced at Coppermoly’s 100%owned Foxtails and Shuffleton prospects.
-
At Foxtails Prospect 3 RC holes target high IP chargeability anomaly that juxtaposes airborne Geotem anomaly within the Mount Norma Quartzite Formation of the Soldiers Cap Group.
-
Four RC holes at Shuffleton Prospect will detect downdip extension of the surface high-grade copper mineralisation at the Mt Kalkadoon Mine, and also test the strong IP chargeability anomaly 1 km east of the Mt Kalkadoon Mine.
-
The first phase of drilling is expected to be completed in four to six weeks.
Coppermoly Limited (ASX: COY) ( Company ) is pleased to advise that drilling has commenced at the Company’s highly prospective Foxtails and Shuffleton prospects. Both Foxtails Prospect (EPM27835) and Shuffleton Prospect (EPM27836) are located in the highly prospective Eastern Succession, Mount Isa Inlier, Northwest Queensland.

Drilling follows our successful IP Sounding Survey completed in October 2023 (previous COY’s ASX announcement on the 3 November 2023), which identified several significant IP Chargeability anomalies at those prospects (Fig 2).

At the Foxtails Prospect , the first phase drilling program consists of three RC holes targeting high IP chargeability anomaly that juxtaposes airborne Geotem anomaly within the Mount Norna Quartzite Formation of the Soldiers Cap Group. The Mt Norna quartzite is a sequence which exposed a 1500 m-thick sequence of massive, swaley–hummocky and cross-bedded quartzite, laminated and rippled psammo-pelite and pelite, intercalated with meta-amphibolite.
The first three holes were designed to test highly chargeability anomaly zone (Fig. 3). Once the initial three drill hole data has been collated and verified, a detailed review of all drillhole and assay information, in conjunction with geological modelling, will be completed to better understand the nature and extent of both the higher chargeability and high conductivity zone.

At the Shuffleton Prospect (Fig 4), the proposed drilling program tests two targets. Two RC holes, designed to be about 400m deep, are tasked to test the downdip extension of the surface copper mineralisation at Mt Kalkadoon Mine; another two shallow RC holes, about 200 m deep, will test the high IP chargeability anomaly about 1 km east of the Mt Kalkadoon Mine. Those high chargeability anomalies show similar characters to those identified at The Foxtails Prospect.

The RC program is expected to be completed in four to six weeks, with assays to be reported shortly thereafter.
We look forward to providing ongoing updates on drilling over the coming weeks. Authorised for and on behalf of the Board.
