Warriedar Resources Limited (ASX: WA8) has advised that drilling of high priority base metal (and gold) targets in the Fields Find West area is set to commence this quarter.
Fields Find West is part of Warriedar’s broader Golden Range and Fields Find projects located in the Murchison province of Western Australia.
The historic Warriedar Copper Mine is located at the southwestern end of the prospective geological sequence. The mine was an active, high-grade copper mine until 1969 and is located less than 40km south of the largest operating base metal mine in WA, Golden Grove.
The company has been seeking to drill key copper targets in this area since completing the acquisition of the Fields Find projects in early 2023.
Three programmes of work (POW) have now been approved to drill high-priority geophysical (EM) and geological targets at Fields Find West. The approved POW’s cover the target areas at the historic Warriedar Copper Mine and the Falcon prospect.
The company has stated that initial exploration results by previous owners demonstrate the potential of the area:
– Falcon Prospect: 2m @ 4.4% Ni from 122m, and 1m @ 1.3% Cu & 6.3 g/t Au from 98m
– Sandpiper Prospect: 4m @ 36.9 g/t Au from 104m, and 1m @ 2.5% Cu & 24.5 g/t Au from 96m
Further, surface rock chip sampling by Warriedar at the historic Warriedar Copper Mine, located within Fields Find West, returned:
– MGRX003134: 20.1% Cu, 63 g/t Ag, Au pending
– MGRX003135: 17.8% Cu, 157 g/t Ag, Au pending
Warriedar will commence 5,600m of RC drilling this quarter, and a comprehensive drill programme is planned to test all 10 separate target areas through the remainder of H2 2023.
