Anax Metals Limited (ASX: ANX) has commenced reverse circulation (RC) exploration drilling at the Whim Creek Project, located 115km southwest of Port Hedland in the West Pilbara Mineral Field of Western Australia.
“Exploration drilling at Whim Creek Project marks a milestone for Anax,” Managing Director, Geoff Laing, said.
“The company has defined several drill targets, including a new gold prospect at HLF, as well as extensions to the known resources, pinpointed using the innovative UltraFine+ soil sampling technique and 3D structural modelling.
“Other new prospects defined with the UltraFine+ method, including Rushalls and Airstrip PGM Prospects, will be drilled following the completion of heritage clearance surveys, currently being scheduled.”
Exploration RC drilling is planned to cover the following prospects sequentially.
- 1,300m RC drilling (nine holes) at HLF Gold Prospect
- 650m RC drilling (four holes) at Whim Creek investigating near-mine and extensional copper-zinc targets, east and west of the existing open pit
- 1,050m RC drilling (five holes) at Mons Cupri, including 200m at the historically mined Comstock Hill
- 450m RC drilling (two holes) at Evelyn, 25km southeast of Whim Creek, where newly defined JORC 2012 Resources suggest potential for extensions at depth.
Anax took the opportunity to expand the proposed 1,000m programme to 3,500m and secured the services of Kalgoorlie based K-Drill to undertake the work.
