Voltaic Strategic Resources (ASX: VSR) has confirmed the presence of copper-gold mineralisation within structural quartz veins with recent reconnaissance rock chip sampling at the Eldinero prospect within the Bundie Bore area of Meekatharra Project in WA.
CEO Michael Walshe said this positive development marks a significant step forward in our exploration efforts, reinforcing the potential of the project and the potential for further discoveries.
Promising assay results have been received for rock chips collected from the maiden reconnaissance program and highly encouraging copper, gold and zinc mineralisation has been confirmed. The mineralised system appears linked to the BSZ over several hundred meters, near a mafic/felsic contact within a 10 km dolerite package providing several newly identified target areas for follow-up. Only 10 rock chip samples have been taken so far and all feature some degree of mineralisation and economic interest for the project. Eldinero is the first regional exploration target that the company has tested so far, and is just one out of multiple newly identified prospects.
Eldinero's mineral signature appears similar to Cyprium Metals Ltd’s Heeler Discovery, 60 km to the southwest. Regionally, the area includes several historic and active quartz-vein shear-related gold deposits, like Westgold’s Paddy’s Flat and Great Fingal.
“We are very pleased with these promising results from the Eldinero prospect at Bundie Bore. The confirmed copper and gold mineralisation, along with significant zinc and silver values, underscores the polymetallic potential of the area. We eagerly await the follow-up surface exploration program to extend and delineate the mineralised footprint at Eldinero and begin to test the new prospects,” Mr Walshe said.
