Programme Expanded To 4,000m At Zinc-Lead-Silver Project
Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR) has elected to expand ongoing RC drill programme at the Earaheedy Project in Western Australia from 2,500m to 4,000m
The drilling activities in the E69/3464 licence are targeting large tonnage, flat lying, near surface (open-pittable) sandstone hosted Zn–Pb deposits.
Managing Director, Shane Sikora, said visual inspection of the drill holes completed to date at the Chinook Prospect has shown continuity of the sandstone hosted Zn-Pb mineralisation, which supports the scale potential at the prospect and has warranted the drill programme to be expanded to 4000m.
Rumble has sent four holes to the assay lab to be fast tracked through processing to give the Company an understanding of grades. These results are expected sometime next week. The remaining drill program is expected to finish later in the month of April, with assays to follow.
Rumble has also booked in a diamond drill rig to follow up this RC drill programme in late April.
The Earaheedy project is located approximately 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia. Rumble owns 75% of E69/3464 and Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) owns 25%. Rumble has a single contiguous exploration license application ELA69/3787 (100% RTR) covering the known strike extent.
The project area covers the inferred unconformity contact between the overlying Frere Iron Formation and underlying Yelma Formation of the Palaeoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin.
Previous RC drilling by Rumble discovered the Chinook and Magazine prospects which are two shallow, flat lying, large-scale unconformity related sandstone hosted Zn-Pb-Ag discoveries
Rumble’s Zn-Pb Exploration Target at the Earaheedy Project is between 40 to 100 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 3.5% Zn-Pb to 4.5% Zn-Pb. The Exploration Target is at a shallow depth (80m), and over 40km of prospective strike (completely open) has been defined within the Earaheedy Project.
