Following on from the recently announced maiden JORC resource estimate, Australian kaolin producer and silica sand exploration company, Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (ASX:SUV) has commenced the second phase of drilling at its 100% owned Nova Silica sands project.
The current drilling program was planned during, and subsequent to the reporting of the maiden Inferred Resources announced October 12, 2021 which highlighted the uniqueness of Nova due to its product size range and low deleterious elements.
The planned drilling is to occur on existing tracks on the tenure, which are extensive, owing to the significant electrical transmission and gas pipeline infrastructure in the area. Due to the limited impact of drilling on tracks the drilling POW was approved swiftly.
Drilling contractors were engaged at short notice and have now commenced work. The drilling is planned to be circa 2,500m to 3,000m with holes to be drilled to approximately 40m as previous drilling mostly ended in mineralisation.
Drilling has been planned to infill and extend the mineralisation to the north and south Samples from the drilling will be used to update the resource and form part of a metallurgical bulk sample for the purpose of flow sheet definition.
