Exploration Update - Successful Completion of Stage 2
Cobra is an exploration and mining company which today announces an update on exploration and evaluation of the Wudinna Gold Project.
The Wudinna Project (the Project) contains a JORC gold resource estimate of 211,000 ounces and is located on the Eyre Peninsula in the Central Gawler Gold Province, a 450-kilometre-long arcuate belt in South Australia which contains numerous mineral occurrences.
Highlights:
-- Stage 2 sampling programme confirms presence of elevated / anomalous pathfinder elements indicating the potential for significant resource extensions, particularly at Baggy Green.
-- A regional scale interpretation of aeromagnetic data has demonstrated a significant relationship between these structures, pathfinder elements and gold mineralisation.
-- Two new high priority targets have been identified from structural interpretation where major structures, already associated with mineralisation, intersect.
-- The newly named Grace prospect, east of Clarke prospect has returned highly anomalous Molybdenum assays, typically associated with Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) mineralisation.
Background
The Wudinna Mineral Resource estimate, as at March 2019, for the Barns, White Tank and Baggy Green deposits is shown below. This has been classified and reported in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC(2012) Code. The Mineral Resources have been reported above a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off grade to reflect current commodity prices and extraction by open pit mining.
