Asian Battery Metals (ASX: AZ9) has continued to intercept massive sulphides in OVD027, north of prior intercept in OVD0211, likely indicating an almost flat orientation of massive sulphide along the general strike direction of the Oval intrusive body.
The company’s managing director, Gan-Ochir Zunduisuren, commented, “The results from OVD027 mark a pivotal step forward in understanding of higher-grade mineralization at the Oval gabbroic intrusion and suggests its orientation is approximately flat lying and open to the NNW along the strike of the intrusion. With assays and modelling underway, we remain optimistic about unlocking additional high-grade targets.”
Notable intercepts within the broader zone of mineralization are 6.1m of massive sulphide from 98.2m, and 12.1m of net textured sulphide from 104.3m. All assays are pending and will be finalized within the next five to six weeks.
The complete mineralized intersection consists of 49.5m of moderately mineralized gabbro, 24.2m of densely disseminated mineralized gabbro, 6.1m of massive sulphide mineralization, followed by 12.1m of net-textured sulphide mineralized gabbro and 25.7m of low-mineralized gabbro, with 0.2m fault gauge. The true thickness of the massive sulphides is approximately 5.4m, based on the orientation of the DHEM plate models.
Further, based on detailed visual mineral estimation and compositional analysis of the massive sulphide intercepts encountered in drillholes OVD027 and OVD0217, it has been confirmed that these intercepts belong to the same mineralized body.
