DRILLING COMMENCES ON PILBARA PROJECTS
-
Drilling has commenced at Tando’s Quartz Bore Project.
-
Maiden drill programme will target extensions to known zinc mineralisation at Quartz Bore via oriented diamond core and modern geophysical techniques.
-
Mineralisation at the Balla Balla Prospect has been defined by drilling over a strike length of 600m and is open at depth and along strike.
-
Sampling and mapping is also underway to test the potential for conglomerate hosted gold at the Quartz Bore Project.
Tando Resources (“ Tando ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to advise the commencement of its maiden drilling programme in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The maiden drill programme at Quartz Bore aims to generate targets below, and along strike from, high grade zinc mineralisation defined in historical drilling at the Balla Balla Prospect.

Mineralisation has been defined over 600m of strike length and is open along strike and at depth. Historical results are detailed in the ASX Announcement of 3 November 2017 and include:
-
15m @ 5.92% Zn, 0.80% Cu and 1.45% Pb (BBD009)
-
including 6m @ 7.34% Zn
-
15m @ 5.11% Zn, 0.12% Cu and 1.89% Pb (BBRC007)
-
including 5m @ 12.5% Zn
-
3m @ 15.5% Zn, 0.76% Cu and 4.90% Pb (BBD003)
-
7.6m @ 4.86% Zn, 2.13% Cu and 1.56% Pb (BBD002)
-
including 2m @ 13.71% Zn
-
10m @ 4.45% Zn, 0.22% Cu and 2.54% Pb (BBRC005)
oincluding 2m @ 9.74% Zn
Results from the Company’s maiden drill programme will be used to guide future testing of the down-dip and down-plunge extensions to mineralisation. Downhole geophysical surveying will be carried out as holes are completed using DHMMR and DHEM methods. These methods have been successfully employed by the Company’s consultants Southern Geoscience at the adjacent Salt Creek Deposit, owned by Venturex Resources (refer VXR’s ASX Announcement 31 May 2017). Information from these surveys will be incorporated with geological data from the core to target extensions to mineralisation.
The Company’s geologists have also commenced a sampling programme at Quartz Bore investigating the potential for conglomerate-hosted gold mineralisation within the Company’s Pilbara projects . The Quartz Bore Project is adjacent to Venturex’s Loudens Patch Prospect and proximate to recent “nugget patch” discoveries by De Grey Mining, DGO Gold and Segue Resources (refer ASX.VXR Announcement 18 October 2017, ASX.DEG ASX Announcements 26 September 2017 & 30 October 2017, ASX.DGO Announcement 25 October 2017 and ASX.SEG ASX Announcement 6 November 2017). Initial fieldwork consists of reconnaissance mapping (although outcrop is limited) and surface and stream sediment sampling.
