Vendetta Mining Corp. (TSXV: VTT) has obtained promising base metals hits in drill results from the 2022 Exploration drilling programme on the Pegmont Lead-Zinc and Killer Bore projects in Queensland, Australia.
Highlights:
PVD209: 8.95m of 9.09 % Pb+Zn (8.95% Pb, 2.29% Zn);
PVD211: 5.32m of 12.43% Pb+Zn (9.38% Pb, 3.05% Zn);
PVD213: 4.80m of 9.13% Pb+Zn (6.00% Pb, 3.14% Zn); and
PVD218: 5.14m of 12.78% Pb+Zn (8.88% Pb, 3.90% Zn)
Drilling occurred at the north-eastern end of Zone 3 and the western portion of Zone 2. In addition, exploration drilling was conducted at the Killer Bore Zinc project, located approximately 5 km to the west of Pegmont. The programme was ended with the early onset of the wet season.
“It’s unfortunate that the rain forced the early cessation of the programme at Killer Bore., This was the most prudent cause of action as it is located in a sandy plain and presented a high risk of not being able to move the drill equipment for a long period due to the conditions at the time. We are excited to get back into the field and definitively follow up on the high-grade historic zinc results at Killer Bore,” President and CEO, Michael Williams, said.
Exploration Drilling Zone 3 and 2
A total of eight holes were drilled in north-eastern end of Zone 3 attempting to extend the mineral resource in that area, the holes targeting the upper flat portion of the “Z” fold were successful however up dip from that the mineralized beds were structurally attenuated.
In Zone 2 five holes were drilled to extend the mineral resource in Zone 2 up dip, two were successful and the other three holes intersected weakly mineralized garnet rich beds.
Preparation for 2023 Exploration Drill Programme
Planning for the 2023 drilling programme has commenced. Exploration drilling is expected to take place in Zone 5, following up on the successful 2021 programme.
At Killer Bore the planned programme will resume, with the aim of conclusively testing the two prospects with historic intersections in three holes: AND041 3.0m @15.44% Zn, ANP418 4m @8.26% Zn and DDH01KB001 4.0m @10% Zn.
