56,000T copper in Copperhead historical estimate
The Board of Rockfire Resources (LON: ROCK), is pleased to inform shareholders that a recent review of previous work at Copperhead has revealed an historical estimate of metal content of 56,000T copper at its 100%-owned Copperhead Project in north Queensland, Australia.
Highlights:
· A detailed appraisal of past exploration at Copperhead has unveiled an estimate of copper content calculated by Carpentaria Exploration Company Pty Ltd ("Carpentaria Exploration") in 1972.
· 35 million tonnes @ 0.16% Cu for 56,000t of copper **. Note that this historical estimate was calculated prior to the introduction of the JORC Code and was an internal estimate calculated by Carpentaria Exploration based on standard exploration drilling and analysis techniques at the time. Subsequent core sampling in 1988 has lifted the average core grade to 0.25% Cu.
