for all eagerly awaiting those 002 assays....8 Apr 2021 08:16
it might be an acceptable alternative to quickly recap on that beautiful 002 drilling RNS for a moment; in the absence of the "imminent" assays... to recap on what excitement awaits...
It quickly pasted the smile back on my face anyway
most important details here (my apologies to the copy/trim/paste haters out there)
· Hole BRDD-21-002, the second hole of the planned drilling programme, was stopped at 899.4m depth as copper mineralisation diminished towards the bottom of the hole.
· Visible copper mineralisation extended over a considerably greater width than originally anticipated, resulting in the hole running about 150m beyond its planned depth.
· The rig will now be set up to drill the third hole of the programme across the mineralised porphyry system to define the width and grade of the zone higher in the system.
Drilling Summary
Hole BRDD-21-002, the second hole of the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, was drilled with the aim of crossing through the down-plunge extension of the deposit at depth. Mineralisation in the hole occurred over a considerably greater width than anticipated in the form of disseminated and fracture-fill chalcopyrite, accompanied by pyrrhotite and pyrite, within a variably altered porphyry copper-gold system.
As the first two completed holes by the Company at Bushranger were particularly critical in defining the overall down-plunge and width dimensions of the Racecourse deposit beyond the limits of previous drilling, the Company has issued daily updates on drilling progress over the last few weeks. The positive outcome of the first two holes has warranted the drilling of several follow-up holes, and ongoing drilling will aim to further extend the boundaries of the deposit and to define the internal continuity of the mineralisation, as well as testing for possible additional branches of the porphyry system.
