Diamond core drilling to commence10 Sep 2024 07:24
The planned programme involves drilling five, larger diameter 'PQ-size' diamond drillholes at both the Thomas and Cosgrove prospects, aimed at sampling the complete weathering profile in each hole, including the deeper, higher-grade parts of the weathering cap. All holes are planned for a downhole depth of 100m to ensure the weathered zone is adequately captured along with the transition from partially weathered into fresh bedrock. Holes will be drilled at an angle of 60° and an azimuth of 240° to account for the 330-340° strike of the rocks. The programme is expected to take up to four weeks to completed drilling. Core sampling and assay results will then follow.
