Drilling approval at Tisová Co-Cu-Au Project in Czech Republic

Highlights

  • Approval received for initial 12-hole drilling program at Historic Tisová Mine.

  • Drilling scheduled to commence in early September.

  • The Geology and Mining Section of the Regional Office of Environment and Agriculture Department has approved an initial 5,500m in 12 holes surface diamond drill program.

  • Tisová is a large VMS sulphide rich system that was historically mined for copper, which occurred as narrow horizon within an 80m thick sulphide rich blanket.

  • The extensive sulphides surrounding the copper zones have never previously been assayed for associated metals – the known orebody occurs over 800m strike, 700m down dip, and up to 80m thick.

  • Auroch sampling to date of the broader sulphide envelope has demonstrated significant grades of cobalt, copper and gold.

  • Grades of up to 0.68% Co , 3.5% Cu and 3.7g/t Au were returned.

  • Auroch is currently completing a 3D model of the extensive underground development and the orebody to underpin its exploration strategy.

Auroch has received initial approval from the Department of the Environment and Agriculture for its initial drilling program at the historic Tisová Copper mine, where recent sampling has highlighted the presence of previously unrecognised Cobalt, Gold and Silver in addition to the known Copper.

CEO Dr Andrew Tunks said,

“This is a great result obtaining drilling approval in the Czech Republic for our planned work program at Tisová. We are thrilled to have received confirmation and approval within one week allowing us to commence activities earlier than anticipated. It’s a great result for the Company and a testament to the thorough approach of our local Czech Partners, Golden Pet.

My recent trip to site and our ongoing work on historic plans and drilling indicate the enormous tonnage potential of this orebody, which extends over 800m of strike over 700m down dip, is up to 80m thick and is open in all directions”.

Tisová Background

Auroch announced option agreement to acquire 100% of the Tisová Copper to the ASX on the 3[rd] of July 2017.

  • The Tisová project comprises a granted exploration licence which includes the historic Tisová mine and 3 exploration licence applications in the Czech Republic

  • The Tisová underground mine has a long history, being mined intermittently since the end of the 12[th] century and more recently operated from 1959 to 1973 when it produced 560kt of ore containing 0.68% Cu

  • Deposit style is volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) with copper being confined to specific horizons of chalcopyrite-rich ore within a much broader sequence of massive, semi-massive and disseminated sulphides

  • Previous exploration and mining at Tisová focussed on the copper-rich VMS and did NOT sample for cobalt or other metals, hence these opportunities were not exploited nor evaluated

  • Extensive underground development has been completed at Tisová, which will be examined to determine the most efficient method to progress mine exploration and subsequent development

  • Deposit is open along strike and down-dip.

  • Auroch has secured a significant ground holding which provides scope to prove up a substantial deposit
