Hole 1 RNS... Copper!19 Jan 2024 07:18
Parys Mountain drilling returns strong assays including 22.0m at 3.7% CuEq
Anglesey Mining plc (AIM:AYM), is pleased to announce that the assay results have been received from the recently completed drill hole NCZ001. Drill hole NCZ001 is the first hole from the infill drilling program of the Northern Copper and Garth Daniel Zones at the Company’s Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au VMS project on the Isle of Anglesey in North West Wales.
Drill hole NCZ001 was designed to provide a repeat of the historical drill hole H34, drilled in the early 1970’s, which intersected three mineralised zones that bulked out to 146 metres at 1.2% copper equivalent (CuEq). Due to the deviation of NCZ001, the intersection encountered is estimated to be approximately 75 metres up-dip from the H34 intersection and provides a valuable infill pierce point.
Garth Daniel Zone – Hole NCZ001
22.0m @ 2.3% Cu, 2.8% Zn, 1.3% Pb, 5.0g/t Ag and 0.03g/t Au (3.7% CuEq / 9.2% ZnEq) from a depth of 559m, including
4.0m @ 5.2% Cu, 5.0g/t Ag and 0.03g/t Au (4.9% CuEq) from 569m; and,
6.0m @ 2.5% Cu, 9.9% Zn, 4.7% Pb, 10g/t Ag and 0.1g/t Au (6.1% CuEq / 17.4% ZnEq) from 575m
Northern Copper Zone – Hole NCZ001
Significant intersections include:
11.0m @ 0.6% Cu, 1.4% Zn, 0.5% Pb, 9.0g/t Ag and 0.4g/t Au (1.3% CuEq / 3.6% ZnEq) from a depth of 503m including
4.0m at 1.1% Cu, 2.7% Zn, 1.0% Pb, 16g/t Ag and 0.7g/t Au (2.4% CuEq / 6.9% ZnEq) from 510m
63.0m @ 0.6% Cu, 0.06% Zn, 0.03% Pb, 3g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au (0.7% CuEq) from a depth of 362m including
16.0m @ 0.9% Cu, 0.05% Zn, 0.02% Pb, 3g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au (1.0% CuEq) from 382m
7.0m @ 1.3% Cu, 0.11% Zn, 0.05% Pb, 5.5g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au (1.3% CuEq) from 404m
13.0m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.05% Zn, 0.01% Pb, 2g/t Ag and 0.1g/t Au (0.5% CuEq) from a depth of 455m

Andrew King, Interim Chairman of Anglesey Mining, commented: “We are very encouraged by the broad widths encountered across both the Garth Daniel and Northern Copper Zones in NCZ001. In particular, we are excited to see the significant intersection within the Garth Daniel Zone. The 22-metre intersection grading 3.7% copper equivalent we believe continues to demonstrate the prospectivity of the Parys Mountain mineralised system.”
“Infill drilling of these mineralised zones will play a crucial role in the development studies for Parys Mountain. The primary target for this program is to provide additional pierce points to enable the current Inferred resources to be upgraded to the Indicated category. The second drill hole, NCZ002, is currently at a depth of around 360 metres with the Northern Copper Zone target estimated to commence at a downhole depth of around 420 metres”.
