Sky Metals Limited (ASX: SKY) has announced the first batch of assay results from the ongoing drilling programme at the Tallebung Tin Project, NSW. The results include high-grade tin mineralization discovered in the southern-most hole.
SKY CEO, Oliver Davies, commented, “To intercept high-grade tin so early in the ongoing drilling programme is the result of the great work by the SKY exploration team as we build our geological understanding of the Tallebung tin deposit. The team has also acted very quickly to plan additional infill and extension drillholes around this exceptional new high-grade tin results. The next rounds of assay results from this programme are eagerly anticipated.”
The southernmost drillhole, TBRC078, represents a 150m step out of the mineralisation along strike, extending tin mineralization well beyond the previous extent of drilling and well outside of the resource envelope:
- TBRC078: 11m @ 1.02% Sn, 77.9g/t Ag & 0.13% W from 64m
The company has reported that this new discovery of high-grade tin substantially expands the Tallebung tin deposit, opening up the southern strike of the deposit to further discoveries.
Additionally, previous ore sorting testwork has shown high-grade tin mineralization at Tallebung is also amenable to TOMRA Ore Sorting upgrade, results included:
- TBD006 (25-35m) – 1.15% Sn upgraded to 5.31% Sn with +98% Sn recovery
Follow up drilling has already been planned and is awaiting approval to be included in the current drilling programme, and further assay results are anticipated over the coming weeks as drilling continues.
