Tertiary Minerals plc has started 1,000-metre reverse circulation drilling to test extensions of mineralisation at target A1 on the Mushima North silver-copper-zinc project in Zambia.
EXTENSIONS
The programme will test “further lateral extensions” of known mineralisation, focusing on the area around high-grade silver and copper mineralisation in the north.
Drilling will also test continuity of mineralisation and the depth of the extension of known mineralisation.
Operations began on 5 November and are expected to last two weeks.
“We are excited to be drilling again this year at target A1, which currently has a surface
footprint of approximately 450m by 400m, with mineralisation intersected to a vertical depth of up to 84m,” said managing director Richard Belcher.
“The aim of this drill programme is to follow-up on the highly encouraging drilling results from
previous drill phases, testing the potential continuation of mineralisation along strike and at
depth, as well as providing additional infill drilling.
“This work is aimed at bringing us closer to our goals of producing, in the short-term, an exploration target, as well as a maiden mineral resource in the next 12 months.”
