QMines Limited (ASX:QML) has kicked-off drilling at its Mt Chalmers copper and gold project, located 17km north east of Rockhampton in Queensland.
The drilling campaign will initially focus on extending the Mt Chalmers resource west of the west pit, where it remains open. Drilling will comprise approximately 10 holes for approximately 2,000m using the company owned RC drill rig.
The company is currently progressing agreements with landholders that will provide access to the high priority Electromagnetic (EM) targets from the recent airborne EM survey. Once finalised, drilling will commence on these priority targets.
“After a busy 2022 drilling season, where the company completed multiple resource updates, it is great to be back on the ground and drilling again,” Managing Director, Andrew Sparke, said.
“With preparations to test multiple Electromagnetic targets well advanced, the team are planning for a busy field season. Knowing that VHMS deposits cluster, we believe there is strong potential for multiple repeats of the Mt Chalmers deposit.”
