Kincora Copper (ASX:KCC) has released highly encouraging follow up drilling results from the emerging Southern Extension Zone (SEZ) discovery in NSW’s mineral rich Lachlan Fold Belt.
Results include the highest-grade primary mineralisation interval drilled yet at the Trundle project from only the fourth hole at the SEZ.
Highlights:
- Top results comprise 34m at 1.02g/t gold and 0.24% copper, including 2m at 12.6g/t gold and 2.32% copper, within a broader zone containing 104m at 0.46g/t gold and 0.11% copper.
- Mineralised skarn zones have now been expanded to up to 660m in width.
- Newly identified and shallow North-East Gold Zone target (up to 2.6g/t gold) included in advanced reviews of the SEZ and Botfield prospects that are expected to significantly expand the existing 1.3km mineralised strike at the Trundle Park prospect.
The broad ore grade intersection, including a very high-grade, chalcopyriterich zone in hole TRDD032, further confirms the scale of the Southern Extension Zone (SEZ) and the potential at Trundle for an economic porphyry or porphyryrelated (skarn) orebody,” John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said.
“The extensive mineralised footprint at surface across the wider Trundle Park and adjacent prospect areas (Botfield to the south/south-east and Dunn’s to the north) provides ample exploration space for new discoveries/deposits in what is clearly a similar geological setting to the Cadia and Northparkes porphyry mineral centres. With assay results to hand for all holes in the SEZ we are now concluding a review for the next stage of priority drilling at this exciting project.”
