Cobre (ASX: CBE) has uncovered a prominent copper anomaly associated with aircore and RC drilling at the Tlou Target at the Kitlanya West Project in Botswana.
The copper anomaly has been identified in 16 widely spaced shallow RC holes, in samples at the base of cover (up to 165ppm Cu) and upper bedrock samples (up to 1530 ppm Cu);
I am extremely pleased with the findings from our ongoing drilling activities at the Kitlanya West project in Botswana. The identification of a consistent and significant copper anomaly associated with the Tlou Target provides further support for the copper potential in the 2000km2 project area,” Chief Executive Officer, Adam Wooldridge, said.
“Tlou is in a high-priority setting for structurally controlled mineralisation associated with folding of target stratigraphy. The confirmation of copper in bedrock and base of Kalahari samples provides a strong indicator for underlying mineralisation.
“Overall, these findings demonstrate the excellent prospects of KITW outside of the Ngami Copper Project, and further validate our exploration strategy in Botswa.”
The ongoing 10,000m AC and RC drill campaign, designed to test for geochemical anomalies at the base of cover and upper portion of underlying bedrock, is now 50% complete.
