RC Drilling Program to commence at Lennons Find Base Metals Project
EM Ground Surveys completed at project
Key points
-
Laconia Resources to commence targeted RC drilling program at Lennons Find base metals project
-
The program will be a 2,000 metre RC program on the Tiger, Hammerhead South, Hammerhead North, Shovel Nose, Mako and Bronze Whaler EM anomalies
-
The Lennons Find project currently has a JORC Code inferred Resource of 853,000t @ 7.7% Zn, 1.8% Pb, 0.7% Cu and 115g/t Ag, at the Hammerhead zone
-
The Company’s intent is to increase the Resource base at the project
-
Also, a comprehensive Fixed Loop EM ground survey has been completed over the favourable stratigraphy at Lennons Find
-
The interpreted EM targets appear as subtle electrical conductors similar to what would be expected from high sphalerite (ZnS) content ore
-
The EM conductors coincide with Zn, Pb, Cu and Ag soil anomalism and are located parallel to partial outcropping gossaneous veins.
Perth based exploration company Laconia Resources Limited (ASX: LCR) is pleased to announce that it plans to commence its maiden drilling program at its Lennons Find base metals project, near Marble Bar in West Australia on Tuesday July 26 2011.
The Company is intent on increasing the Resource base at Lennons Find. The drill program will be a 2,000 metre RC program, which will test the Tiger, Hammerhead South, Hammerhead North, Shovel Nose, Mako and Bronze Whaler EM anomalies. Results from the drill program will be released as soon as they become available.
The project currently has a JORC Code Inferred Resource of 853,000 tonnes grading 7.7% Zn, 1.8% Pb, 0.7% Cu and 115g/t Ag, at the Hammerhead sulphide zone.
Laconia is also pleased to announce the results of its recently completed EM Fixed Loop ground survey at the Lennons Find project. The EM survey has defined a series of subtle conductive areas which are aligned with known geochemical anomalies, and in accord with subcropping to outcropping gossaneous veining.
The Lennons Find project area has the potential to host VMS/VHMS type base metals and silver deposits. These style deposits often occur in clusters, and the Company is of the view that there may be the potential for significant tonnages of ore at the Tiger, Hammerhead South and Bronze Whaler prospects, where there are ore grade intercepts in historic drilling to a vertical depth of 20-30 metres below gossaneous and copper oxide stained outcrop.
There is also the potential for new discoveries to be made on coincident EM and geochemical targets at Shovel Nose and Mako, at the same stratigraphic horizon as the current resource at Hammerhead.

Laconia acquired a 95% interest in the Lennons Find project (M45/368) from Jabiru Metals Limited in March 2011. At the same time it announced the acquisition of the nearby Yandicoogina base metals project from Shaw River Resources (ASX: SRR). The two projects are located approximately 40 km from Marble Bar on the southern edge of the Mt Edgar Granitoid Complex, in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia (see Projects Loaction Map attached).
Within the project areas outcropping gossaneous veins with elevated base metals grades occur at a consistent horizon in the Duffer Formation, and it is this horizon which is the current focus for Laconia’s base metals exploration.
