White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) provided an update on their reverse circulation drilling programme at the Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada. The drilling programme at the 100% owned Rae Copper Project has continued to return visually identified sulphide mineralization in all holes.
Highlights from this programme include:
• DAN25008: 175m of visually identified sulphides from 7m downhole. Hole ended in mineralisation
• DAN25005: 91m of visually identified sulphides from surface
• DAN25007: Multiple zones of visually identified sulphides including 24m from 28m and 71m from 61m downhole
• DAN25004: Multiple zones of visually identified sulphides including 27m from 20m, 30m from 67m, 18m from 100m and 11m from 123m downhole indicating multiple parallel mineralised lodes
• DAN25006: 56m of visually identified sulphides in multiple zones from 7m
Further to these results, first pass drilling at Danvers has been completed and the rig has been repositioned to Hulk.
Samples from all of these drillholes have been sent to ALS Laboratories, and the company expects assay results within the next 4-6 weeks, with samples from earlier holes expected within 3-5 weeks.
Finally, the company notes that outcropping silver mineralization has been identified at surface 4.7km along strike to the southwest of Danvers on the same structural zone. This includes sample V749909 which has demonstrated 20% visually identified chalcocite mineralization.
Commenting on these results, Troy Whittaker, Managing Director of White Cliff Minerals has noted that the company’s focus on their Canadian projects is paying dividends and that the visual results show strong evidence of copper mineralization and the drilling indicates strike and dip continuity.
He notes that “Assay results will set the direction of future diamond drilling at site. As we continue to undertake exploration activities in the greater Rae project area, the true extent of the regions copper potential is now becoming increasingly clear and importantly the structural plumbing that provided the fluid pathways up to Hulk are now proven fertile with significant depth extent containing what we believe to be copper. We eagerly await the results back from the lab which will show definitively the copper potential this drilling has encountered.”
