Macarthur Minerals Limited (ASX:MIO) (CVE:MMS) is leveraged to the encouraging results received from initial drilling by earn-in partner Fe Limited (ASX:FEL) at the Hillside project in WAs Pilbara region.
The results, which included 1-metre at 0.74% copper, 349ppm cobalt, 0.41% zinc and 0.14ppm gold from 83 metres in Hole HRC 001, support the interpreted mineralised gossan model at Hillside.
Drilling of 35 holes from 1,798 metres at around 1-kilometre intervals in the first phase of preliminary drilling resulted in the down-dip extension of surface mineralised gossan being intercepted in three holes.
Extension of surface gossans targeted[hhmc]
These holes span the entire length of the mapped strike length and targeted underground extensions to the periodically outcropping mineralised gossan identified during previous reconnaissance.
FEL has entered into an earn-in agreement with Macarthur to earn up to 75% in its Pilbara lithium and gold projects in respect of tenements ranging from south of Nullagine to north of Pilgangoora, including Hillside.
Other results from the initial drilling:
- 1-metre at 0.19% copper, 230ppm cobalt, 0.14% zinc and 0.07ppm gold from 28 metres in Hole HRC 022; and
- 1-metre at 0.18% copper and 0.12% zinc from 25 metres, and 1-metre at 0.27% copper from 40 metres in Hole HRC 036.
Guidance for next drilling[hhmc]
Grades in all intersections show strongly anomalous mineralisation and provide valuable guidance for hole location in the next phase of drilling.
This preliminary drilling was conducted along the total strike length of 14 kilometres that was mapped and sampled at outcrop resulting in high-grade rock chip results.Read More – Source
