Snowball Joint Venture
The Mitchell Drilling rig is underway prior to the Christmas break to test the highly ranked Helm prospect.
The 2,000m programme is expected to run into February 2023.
The base of the Kalahari cover, a thick calcrete sequence was intersected at 53m depth downhole, shallower than expected above the interpreted D’Kar Formation sediment sequence, potential mineralization can be developed below this at the NPF contact.
The first hole 22HED01 is testing the NPF-D’Kar contact on the southern limb of the ‘domal’ target.
Ground magnetic profiles have been collected to pinpoint the contact under the Kalahari cover.
Noronex Limited is an ASX listed copper company with advanced projects in the Kalahari Copper Belt, Namibia and in Ontario, Canada that have seen over 170,000m of historic drilling. The 80,000Ha Dorwit Project in Namibia has a current JORC (2012) resource of 10mt @1.3% Cu.
