ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
ASX : CXO
21[st] October 2013
New Lead and Copper soil results strengthen Inkheart, NT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Lead and copper soil anomalism at Inkheart comparable to Blueys
-
Core’s surface rock chips at Blueys assay up to:
-
4.1 kilograms per tonne silver (4,065 g/t)
-
5.5% copper
-
25% lead
-
Results increase potential for similar mineralisation at Inkheart
Core Exploration Ltd’s (ASX: CXO) new soil results have confirmed a strong correlation between lead and copper in soils and the previously released high silver anomalism that characterise both the Blueys and Inkheart Prospects within the Company’s Albarta Project in the Northern Territory.
The positive relationship of high silver, copper and lead at these prospects is supported by mineralised rock chip samples taken by Core at Blueys. Surface rock chip samples from Blueys graded up to 4,065 g/t silver (Ag), 5.5% copper (Cu) and 25% lead (Pb) (refer ASX announcement 10/09/2013).
Recent mapping and rock chip sampling at Blueys has identified a broad zone of pervasive stock-work veining associated with malachite and azurite (copper) and galena (lead/silver) minerals at surface. It appears that the galena at Blueys is argentiferous (silver bearing).
The level of silver, copper and lead soil anomalism within soils at Inkheart (Figures 1 & 2) is directly comparable to Blueys, which increases the probability of similar style mineralisation (as found at Blueys) but on a potentially larger scale being discovered by Core’s first drilling program being planned at Inkheart and Blueys.
The Blueys and Inkheart Prospects are within Core’s Albarta Project that covers over 2,000km[2] of the newly recognised, highly prospective IOCG Aileron Province, 100km NE of Alice Springs in the NT. Core’s tenements include a number of significant copper (+ silver) occurrences (Figure 3).

Next Steps
Results are pending from Core’s recent surface rock chip sampling focussed on identifying the source of the high silver in soil samples at the newly discovered Inkheart Prospect and previously unrecognised western-zone at Blueys.
Core is currently analysing the previous airborne electromagnetic (AEM), magnetics and radiometric surveys over Blueys and Inkheart. The results of this geophysical analysis are expected in late October and an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey is scheduled to commence over potential drill targets at Blueys and Inkheart shortly after.
Core has also commenced land access procedures to enable the required approvals for drilling at Blueys and Inkheart.
