Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: CPM) has begun an RC drilling programme at the King Solomon prospect at the Mt Isa East Copper Gold Project in north-western Queensland, Australia.
“It’s great to have started our maiden drilling programme at the Mt Isa East Cu-Au Project,” Managing Director, Ian Warland, said.
“The targets at King Solomon and Python look very promising with extensive historical workings, broad geochemical signature and FLEM responses to drill test as part of this programme.
“The VTEM survey screening of a large part of Cooper’s tenure will commence next week, we look forward to updating the market as results come to hand.”
Drill Programme Overview
Approximately 2,000m of RC drilling is planned, testing targets firstly at King Solomon and then moving to Python prospect as regulatory approval is granted.
At King Solomon the company will be drilling under historical workings and testing the higher amplitude FLEM responses along the 1.2km long mineralised trend.
Regulatory drill approval (Environmental Authority) is in place for most of the King Solomon prospect, with the rest over King Solomon 3 expected sometime in May.
Drilling will focus on King Solomon 1 and 2 first and then move to King Solomon 3 and Python subject to final regulatory approval.
Next Steps
· Complete drilling at King Solomon
· Finalise drill approvals ahead of drill testing at Python and King Solomon 3
· Commence VTEM survey, ground truth and rank targets.
