Kincora Copper Limited (TSXV & ASX:KCC) has obtained significant higher gold grade skarn intervals and broad intervals of porphyry style intrusions at the Trundle Park prospect situated at the brownfield Trundle project, located in the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) in NSW, Australia.
John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, noted that for the first time at the Trundle Park prospect most recently completed hole TRDD028 intersected broad porphyry style intrusions from near surface (to 467m), with the targeted deeper intrusive body also intersected
“The occurrence of the targeted porphyry intrusive system from surface to depth in TRDD028 (assay results pending) provides a new nearer surface and potentially open pit target in addition to the known deeper parts of the system at the Trundle Park prospect. This is a very positive development and consistent with a number of the vertically extensive intrusive deposits at Northparkes that extend from nearer surface to depth.
“Assay results for TRDD014W1 confirmed our initial visual interpretations with broad intrusive intervals and higher-grade skarn zones. The widths of mineralised intervals returned in TRRD014W1 and visual intrusions in TRDD028 are very encouraging.
We continue to see the right rocks and alteration in what is an increasingly large intrusive system.
“The recently commenced hole TRDD029 will test the nearer surface intrusive, and southern and western depth potential, with the west and south still open for further follow up drilling as we seek to intersect the higher grade and inner potassic core of the intrusive system.”
Recent drilling at the Trundle Park prospect has confirmed a significant area and multiple intrusive porphyry system with a mineralised zone emerging. The latest hole (TRDD028) now also demonstrates nearer surface potential for a multiple intrusive system (assay results pending).
These results provided further confidence of proximity to the core of a porphyry intrusive system such as the multiple deposits at the neighbouring Northparkes mine or at Cadia- Ridgeway and supports the working geological concept of a vertically extensive mineralized intrusive system that has both open pit and underground target potential.
This hole was a wedge drilling off previous hole TRDD014, seeking to extend the original hole to greater depth and provide coverage towards TRDD022. TRDD014W1 has confirmed, expanded and returned higher grade skarn intervals, and extended the intrusive systems returned in both TRDD014 and TRDD022 to depth and on strike.
Assay results for TRDD014W1 confirmed our initial visual interpretations with broad intrusive intervals and higher-grade skarn zones, and the widths of and multiple intervals returned are very encouraging.
The lithologies, alteration, veining, mineral tenor and structural interpretations have provided further confidence of a proximal environment to the targeted causative intrusion at the Trundle Park prospect, as well as vectors for follow up drilling.
Initial follow up hole TRDD028 was drilled parallel and west of TRDD014/W1, and further expanded the deeper intrusive system to the west but importantly also intersected a broad and nearest to surface intrusive system identified to date at the prospect.
