RC Drilling Programme Successfully Completed at the Braeside Base Metal Project, Pilbara WA
-
First modern drilling has been completed targeting high-grade base metal surface mineralisation and EM conductors which may represent first order porphyry related (including VMS) polymetallic mineralisation.
-
19 RC holes were completed for a total of 2004m with 16 targets tested.
-
Initial visual inspection has recognised base metal (Zinc, Lead and Copper) sulphide mineralisation associated with wide zones of silica – sericite – potassic alteration in predominantly andesite to basalt host rocks.
-
Multi-element analysis of the drill hole samples will take approximately 3 weeks.
Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR) (“Rumble” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the first modern drilling program at the Braeside Project (E45/2032), located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, has been successfully completed.
In total, sixteen targets were tested over a strike of approximately 30km. The targets were a combination of high grade base metal surface mineralisation, VTEM conductors with follow up ground TEM. The drilling programme consisted of 2,004m of RC drilling over 19 drill holes.
During the drilling programme, wide zones of silica – sericite – potassic (K-spar) alteration with quartz-sulphide veining with Zn, Pb and Cu mineralisation was observed. Silica – hematite breccia zones were associated with the alteration.
Multi-element analysis of the drill hole samples has commenced and results will take approximately three (3) weeks to process.

Background to Systematic Exploration Process of High Grade Zn – Pb – Cu – Ag - Au – V at the Braeside Project (E45-2032)
The Braeside Project E45-2032 consists of multiple high-grade zinc, lead, copper and silver deposits and occurrences associated with north to northwest trending fault fracture zones within mafic volcanics and volcaniclastics over a strike of at least 60 km. The poly-metallic mineralisation has not been tested by detailed geophysics, geochemistry and very limited drilling with only 10 known historic drill holes in 1928 and 1951.
High grade grab sampling assays have returned up to 29.31% Zn, 79% Pb, 17.48% Cu, 325 g/t Ag, 13 g/t Au and V 1.03% along 30km of strike within a potential 60km strike system.
Rumble’s exploration program is the first modern systematic exploration program being undertaken at the Braeside High Grade Zinc – Lead Project.
Recent litho-geochemistry completed by Rumble suggests the mineralisation is associated with sub volcanic rhyolitic porphyry (Koongaling Felsic Volcanics) indicating potential for a VMS system capable of hosting a large base metal deposit.
Rumble’s technical team lead by Technical Director Mr Brett Keillor is systematically exploring the Braeside Project generating first order porphyry related (including VMS) polymetallic feeder pipe targets using proven, modern exploration techniques.
