Bushranger Project Assay Results

12 Nov 2021 10:25

RNS Number : 2359S
Xtract Resources plc
12 November 2021
 

 

For immediate release

12 November 2021

 

Xtract Resources Plc

("Xtract" or the "Company")

Bushranger Project Assay Results

 

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that independent laboratory assays have been received from drill hole BRDD-021-011 completed on the Phase 2 diamond drilling programme at the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project.

 

Highlights

 

· Drill hole BRDD-21-011 has returned very promising intersections of copper and gold mineralisation near the northern limits of the modelled Racecourse Inferred Mineral Resource

· Full results are available in Table 1, with highlights below;

· 18m at 0.38% CuEq (0.14% Cu, 0.41g/t Au, 0.5g/t Ag) from 142m

· 18m at 0.25% CuEq (0.05% Cu, 0.35g/t Au, 0.4g/t Ag) from 220m

· 78m at 0.32% CuEq (0.3% Cu, 0.02g/t Au, 1.00g/t Ag) from 294m

· 16m at 0.47% CuEq (0.44% Cu, 0.03g/t Au, 1.80g/t Ag) from 342m

· Of particular interest are the significant intervals of comparatively gold-rich mineralisation encountered in the upper part of the hole which may be indicative of a mineral zonation system at Racecourse

 

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "We are pleased to report on the assay results for hole BRDD-21-011 - the copper values are consistent with the results for the deposit in general. The intersection of two above-average gold zones high in the system has not been evidenced at Racecourse before, although it is not unusual for the region. It would appear that gold mineralisation occurring above the crown of the porphyry intrusion may add to the overall value of the project."

*Assays undertaken by Bureau Veritas Minerals Pty. Ltd. Laboratory, Adelaide, Australia

**CuEq Formula: CuEq = Cu% + 0.5884xAu (g/t) + 0.0078xAg (g/t)

Drill hole BRDD-021-011 was drilled at an inclination of -60 degrees towards the NE and completed at a depth of 673m. The hole was designed to test the up-dip extension of mineralisation intersected in holes BRDD-021-002 & BRDD-021-003 from the Phase 1 drilling programme (refer to RNS dated 26 May 2021), in the upper part of the conceptual open pit towards the northern end of the Racecourse deposit.

 

It is interpreted that the hole passed close to the crown of the porphyry intrusion and significant lengths of copper and gold mineralisation were intersected. Two gold zones were intersected in the shallower portion of the intrusion, before passing into the main copper mineralised zone associated with the western limb of the Racecourse porphyry intrusion.

 

The gold zone may represent a gold-rich halo of porphyry style alteration and mineralisation associated with later stage mineralised fluids in the upper portion of the Racecourse porphyry intrusion and this will be modelled further.

A plan map showing the location of hole BRDD-021-011 was appended to the RNS dated 9 November 2021. A summary of the Racecourse Phase Two drilling programme was announced on 20 October 2021.

 

 

Correction: In the announcement dated 9 November 2021, drill hole BRDD-021-024 was described in the text as drilled towards the NW, the correct direction of drilling was towards the NE, as reflected in the published plan and section maps accompanying the RNS.
