Battery Age Minerals Ltd (ASX: BM8) has received encouraging assay results from surface samples collected at its 85% Tidili Copper Project in Morocco.
Six samples have demonstrated the presence of high-grade copper mineralisation of up to 2.11% Cu at surface. The copper mineralisation is associated with anomalous silver, lead and cadmium.
The surface sampling programme was conducted as part of Battery Age’s strategy to systematically explore the Tidili Copper Project in parallel with its Falcon Lake Lithium Project in Canada and Bleiberg Zinc-Lead-Germanium Project in Austria.
CEO Gerard O’Donovan said the company is encouraged by these promising findings and will be taking proactive steps to further investigate and delineate the mineralisation at the Tidili Project.
To advance its understanding of the area’s potential, the company is planning a more extensive field campaign, scheduled to be carried out later this year or early next year.
This future work campaign will include systematic rock chip sampling and mapping of the mineralised corridors for a better appreciation of lateral continuity, strike variation and geometry of mineralised faults. Beyond that a shallow depth, hand-held diamond core drilling campaign is being considered for the testing of mineralisation below surface, grade and geometry.
We are pleased with the positive assay results returned from the surface sampling programme at the Tidili Copper Project. The high-grade copper assays, coupled with the identification of anomalous lead samples, highlights the potential of this project,” Mr O’Donovan said.
“We are excited to continue exploration activity with a follow-up field campaign, which will allow us to gain further insights into the extent of the mineralisation.”
