Sky Metals Limited (ASX: SKY) has provided an update to the ongoing drilling programme at the Tallebung Tin Project, NSW.
Additional holes have been added to the ongoing resource expansion programme following broad visual tin mineralization intercepted in new southern-most hole, TBRC078.
24 holes for a total of approximately 4,500m have been added to the ongoing 25 holes – 5,000m resource expansion programme, aiming to:
- Quickly expand on the southern extension to the deposit discovered in TBRC078, with the aim to include this extension into a future updated MRE
- Further increase this new expansion of the deposit to the south
- Test northern strike extensions to the Tallebung deposit
Drillhole TBRC078 represents a 150m step out of the mineralization along strike to the south, extending tin mineralization well beyond the previous southern-most drillhole, TBRC065, where results included:
- 42m @ 0.20% Tin & 40g/t Silver from 40m, including
- 6m @ 0.67% Tin & 68g/t Silver from 67m
SKY CEO Oliver Davies commented, “This is a great start to our resource expansion drilling programme and highlights the significant potential at Tallebung for continuing resource growth. The SKY exploration team have done an excellent job in targeting additional tin mineralization in this programme, continuing to expand the known tin deposit footprint beyond of the historic workings and well beyond SKYs current MRE and Exploration Target at Tallebung. We eagerly await the assay results for this large extension.”
The assay results for the first drillholes are anticipated in the coming weeks and additional diamond drilling rig has been mobilized to bolster the ongoing drill campaign.
