GreenTech (ASX: GRE) has recommenced its approximately 4,000m stage 2 diamond core drilling programme at its 100% owned Whundo Cu-Zn project in the West Pilbara in WA.
Drilling contractor Topdrill has returned to site following a short break over the Christmas and New Year period. The planned drilling will focus on the down plunge conductors associated with the mineralised shoots at Austin, Shelby, Yannery and Ayshia.
“We are excited to return to site and recommence drill testing of a host of untested conductors associated with mineralised copper shoots identified at our Whundo VMS cluster copper project,” Executive Director, Tom Reddicliffe, said.
“The stage 2 drill programme is well underway and will be supported with additional down-hole electromagnetics. Fixed loop electromagnetic surveying completed in late December is currently being interpreted and is expected to assist further with targeting of the stage 2 programme," Executive Director, Tom Reddicliffe, said.
This campaign will be followed-up with downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys on selected holes. The results of the DHEM surveys will assist in the planning of follow-up drill holes which may be undertaken as part of this current drill program.
The programme aims to identify and where possible quantify new resources with the targeting guided by the results of the stage 1 drill programme that resulted in the identification of down plunge conductor plates and the potential for significant expansion of the existing Whundo/Ayshia Mineral Resource.
In addition it is anticipated that new targets may be identified from the results of the high powered FLEM geophysical survey which was completed in December. The interpreted results will be available in the coming weeks and may potentially provide options for additional drill targets.
The identified targets present potential to significantly increase existing Cu-Zn resources of 6.19Mt @ 1.12% Cu, 1.04% Zn.
