Enterprise Metals has identified four more copper prospects from aircore drilling and soil sampling at its Doolgunna project, 130 kilometers northeast of Meekatharra.
Sandfire Resources' DeGrussa Project is located about 10 kilometers to the north of the Doolgunna anomaly which highlights the prospectivity of the project.
These new anomalies include associated gold, silver, bismuth, lead and cobalt with further drilling planned to better define them and prepare them for deep reverse circulation drilling in the primary zone.
Scotty Prospect;
This prospect is centred about 500 meters southwest of the Vulcan Prospect, and strikes northeast. The area was initially identified as a soil gold anomaly but aircore drilling has intersected anomalous copper, gold, silver, bismuth and cobalt. The highest copper values were encountered towards the base of the regolith and are associated with elevated cobalt, silver and bismuth.
Anomalous results at Scotty include:
1. 6 meters at 4.85 grams per tonne gold from 49 meters including 1 meter at 1 g/g gold from 49 meters, 214ppm copper, 55ppm cobalt and 2.7ppm bismuth;
2. 29 meters at 607ppm copper and 103ppm cobalt from 12 meters and
3. 4 meters at 65ppm copper, 2340ppm cobalt and 1.5ppm bimuth from 48 meters.
Sulu Prospect - Sulu is centered about 600 meters northeast of Vulcan and was initially identified by the discovery of a rock chip sample with visible gold, which assayed 810 gram per tonne gold, 0.1% copper, 18.3 gram per tonne silver, 1% bismuth, 132ppm molybdenum and 2.7ppm antimony. Subsequent detailed soil sampling identified a broad northeast striking copper anomaly. Shallow aircore drilling in the area is widely spaced with many aircore holes terminating in elevated copper and cobalt. Further drilling is required to define a basement target.
McCoy Prospect - This prospect is centred about 1,500 meters due east of the Vulcan Prospect. Current drilling has extended the known copper, zinc and lead anomaly at McCoy to the southeast.
Nimoy Prospect - Nimoy is centerd about 3,000 meters due east northeast of the Vulcan Prospect and was initially identified as a coincident copper, gold, lead, bismuth and zinc anomaly in soil sampling. The recent widely spaced aircore drilling of the regolith has better defined this anomaly provides a ready target for follow up work.
