FURTHER COPPER SULPHIDE RESULTS AT BUTCHERBIRD

  • Complete assays for copper sulphide zone in hole 10BBC14 have now been received. Best results are (downhole widths): 10BBC14 18m @ 0.63% Cu & 859ppm Co from 154m (incl. 1m @ 2.43% Cu and 0.55% Co) 10m @ 0.82% Cu & 581ppm Co from 180m (incl. 3m @ 1.94% Cu & 0.12% Co)

  • 10BB07 10m @ 0.77% Cu and 167ppm Co from 10m

  • Associated cobalt and silver values of commercial interest .

  • Drillhole ends within visible alteration zone .

  • Airborne EM target to be drilled to test massive sulphides.

The Company is pleased to advise that complete assays have now been received for recent RC drilling at the Butcherbird Copper Prospect. The programme was undertaken to test the depth extension of the previously reported downhole intersection of 4m @ 6.97% Cu and 566ppm Co from 16m in hole 10BBC01.

The mineralisation is contained within an alteration envelope comprising pervasive silica replacement of the country rock and associated quartz/carbonate veining. The alteration continues to the end of the hole as the rig on site did not have the capacity to drill further with the available equipment.

In addition to the copper, significant cobalt and silver values were also returned at levels of significant commercial interest, representing potential credits and confirming the polymetallic nature of the deposit.

As previously reported, GPX Surveys recently completed an airborne EM survey over the Butcherbird Project and whilst the primary focus was identifying manganese mineralisation, a high priority sulphide target has also been identified . The anomaly represents a conductive body in a geologically favourable position and will be drilled to test for the presence of massive sulphide mineralisation as soon as possible.

These latest results further confirm the Butcherbird copper deposit as a potentially significant new discovery with mineralisation open in all directions and follow up work will be undertaken as a matter of priority.
