ASX Announcement
Date: 7[th] January 2013
ASX Code: COY
ASSAY RESULTS CONFIRM IOCG POTENTIAL AT MAKMAK
Coppermoly Limited (ASX:COY) is pleased to announce laboratory assay results from rock samples taken from the Pulding and Wara Creek prospects collected from its 100% owned EL 2014 Makmak tenement on the south coast of New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea (refer to Figure 1).
At the Pulding copper and molybdenum prospect (refer to Figure 2), laboratory assay results (refer to Table 1) include:
-
Sample 5022: 1.27% Cu + 183 ppm Mo,
-
Sample 5024: 1.33% Cu + 440 ppm Mo,
-
Sample 5025: 2.39% Cu + 223 ppm Mo,
-
Sample 5106: 1.98% Cu + 503 ppm Mo
A detailed analysis of rock specimens taken from outcrop (Photo1) and float (Photo2) demonstrate styles of alteration and mineralisation analogous to IOCG deposits.
Geological consultant Stan Yeaman described the results of the sampling programme as follows:
“these results are from rock-chip character samples, which are not representative linear channel samples, but were taken to characterise the silicate alteration with the chalcopyrite mineralisation over a significant area.
There are multiple veins of this style of mineralisation within the approximately 400 metres width examined, but these samples do not represent average grade over that width.
I think it would be legitimate to say that this style of mineralisation is comparable to the IOCG mineralisation mined in Chile and Peru for iron ore and copper”.
Results from samples 50101 to 5101 within the circular feature (see figure 2) were all insignificant.

At the Wara Creek iron ore prospect (refer to Figure 2), four samples (5003, 5010, 5011 and 5013) assayed > 50% Fe (refer to Table 2). These samples are of interest for high grade and low impurity iron ore (Photo 3), the source of which requires additional exploration ahead of drilling. The airborne magnetic geophysical anomaly MK005 (refer to Figure 2) is one possible source of iron at depth. The four samples greater than 50% Fe will be re-assayed to more accurately determine their iron and silica (SiO2) content.
“All samples which analysed more than 50% Fe consist of magnetite partly replaced by martite (crystalline hematite pseudomorphing magnetite). Mineragraphic examination of two selected specimens showed the total absence of minerals other than hematite and magnetite except for very minor amounts of quartz. Electron microprobe scans showed the absence of phosphorus, sulphur, arsenic, vanadium, chromium, titanium and base metals", said consultant Stan Yeaman.
