Tennant Minerals Ltd (ASX:TMS) has received further exceptionally high-grade copper and gold results from diamond drilling at the shallow eastern extension of the Bluebird discovery at the 100%-owned Barkly Project in the Northern Territory.
The new results are from the current phase of the ongoing, drilling programme which has to date comprised 15 holes for around 3,000m.
These first new drilling results from diamond drillhole BBDD0042 in the shallow eastern extension of the Bluebird discovery, include an exceptionally high-grade zone of 18.8% copper (Cu), 12.3 g/t gold (Au) within a thick and high-grade copper and gold intersection.
This latest intersection has again demonstrated the widespread and exceptional copper and gold grades along the entire identified strike-length of the Bluebird discovery,” acting Chairman Neville Bassett said.
“Mineralisation has been intersected from 40m below surface, indicating potential to access the top of the deposit via an open pit, before continuing as a long life underground mine.
“We continue drilling the Bluebird East discovery, which has the potential to be a repeat of the Bluebird high-grade copper-gold zone drilled to date, further enhancing the project’s development potential.”
