Recharge Metals Limited (ASX: REC) has received promising initial results from the company’s diamond drill programme at the Brandy Hill South Project in Western Australia.
As expected from previously reported visual observations, drillhole BHD026 has returned broad zones of copper mineralisation with narrow intercepts of higher-grade copper mineralisation.
Better results include:
• 93m @ 0.35% Cu from 209m, including 0.30m @ 2.66% Cu
• 7.1m @ 0.34% Cu from 80.9m
• 10.4m @ 0.31% Cu from 190.1m
• 5m @ 0.31% Cu from 313m
• 4m @ 0.37% Cu from 323m
“We are thrilled with these outstanding assay results from hole BHD026. They represent the first assay results from Recharge’s diamond drilling programme, and to hit a 93-metre copper intersection right off the bat provides strong initial confirmation of our geological model,” Managing Director, Brett Wallace, said.
“This hole clipped the edge of a recently announced very high order ( >7,000 Siemens) conductor, and while the grade of 0.35% across the 93 metres may not be high-grade, we believe that the bulk of the conductor may represent higher-grade copper mineralisation, and that effectively, we’ve got ‘the tiger by the tail’ here.
“We are obviously very excited to commence our diamond drill programme in the next few weeks to assess priority DHTEM targets and test the grades at the heart of this, and other, conductors.
“We are also expecting results from two other diamond holes BHRCD018 and BHRCD019 shortly and look forward to reporting on those.”
Next steps
Assays are pending for a further two diamond drill holes completed in April this year (BHD018 and BHD019). Results from these holes will be released as they become available.
Petrology and microXrf analysis results are pending for core samples submitted from BHD026, BHRCD018 and BHRCD019.
Recharge is planning a further drill programme to designed to test the conductors, anomalies, modelled EM plates and the strike extension of mineralisation in both directions and depth extension.
