Mr. Sam Spring reports:
High impact drilling has commenced at the Dunn's North prospect following up shallow ore grade mineralisation:
10m @ 1.99g/t gold and 0.12% copper from 36m (end of hole 48m) interpreted to have drilled short and on the margin of an associated untested porphyry complex 1
Current phase of drilling at the Trundle project will test 5 adjacent system and separate large scale porphyry targets across an existing 3.2km mineralised strike
Follows up open ore grades at three shallow and one deeper target, the latter supported by the NSW Government's New Frontiers Exploration grants program for a designed 1100m hole testing the porphyry source of the emerging Southern Extension Zone skarn discovery 2
Program will comprised ~3350m of diamond drilling, continue into mid 2Q'2023, with first assays expected March 2023
Trundle is the only brownfield project held by a listed junior in Australia's foremost porphyry belt and is located within the same mineralized complex as Australia's second largest porphyry mine (endowment 24Moz gold equivalent) 3
MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 19, 2023 /CNW/ - Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Dunn's North prospect situated at the brownfield Trundle project, located in the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) in NSW, Australia.
John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented:
"Drilling at Dunn's North will for the first time follow up shallow ore grade mineralisation, 10 metres @ 1.99 g/t gold and 0.12% copper from only 36 metres, returned above and on the margin of significant, untested, coincident magnetic and Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical features. The target is a larger porphyry deposit responsible for that ore grade mineralisation and the geophysical features.
The Dunn's North prospect is the first to be tested of five high conviction, standalone, large-scale, new porphyry discovery opportunities that are scheduled to be drilled during this program at Trundle. This conviction is underpinned by strong geological vectors and complementary geophysics identified in our recent extensive technical reviews."
