Gold and base metals explorer Carawine Resources (ASX: CWX) results from shallow RC drilling at the Cable tenement have returned several significant copper and gold intervals from both the Warroo North and Waroo NE prospects, and identifying areas of copper and zinc anomalism for follow-up exploration.
Cable is part of the company’s Paterson Copper-Gold Project, located in the Paterson Province of Western Australia, where Carawine is targeting polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits in Archaean Hardey Formation volcanics.
The results announced are from a 312-hole programme completed in July 2024, designed as an initial test of the “Waroo” prospects defined by Carawine from historic exploration data.
“We consider today’s results to be highly encouraging, with a number of significant copper and gold intervals returned, and large areas of copper and zinc anomalism identified, from just our first drilling program at Cable. This is especially exciting because the drilling was shallow in this initial first-pass program, reaching no more than 13 metres below surface in most holes,” Managing Director, David Boyd, said.
“Combined with the results of our helicopter-borne electromagnetic TargetEM survey, and the historic exploration data, we expect the results of this drilling to yield several high potential, high priority targets for deeper direct drill testing expected to occur in 2025.”
