Redstone Resources Limited (ASX: RDS) has obtained geochemical assay results which have confirmed that the most recent RC drilling campaign on the company’s wholly-owned West Musgrave Project in Western Australia has extended the high-grade Cu lens zone at the Forio Prospect within the Tollu Cu Project.
Significantly, in one of the drill holes, TLC203, the highest Cu grade ever to be encountered at the West Musgrave Project was intersected with 1.0m at 18.5% Cu from only 18m downhole.
The West Musgrave Project, which includes the Tollu Cu Vein deposit, is located 40km, east of the world‐class Nebo‐Babel nickel‐copper‐PGE sulphide deposit and has the ideal geological and structural setting for large magmatic Ni‐Cu sulphide deposits
“This is yet another exceptional drilling result for the company and for the Tollu Project. The potential of Tollu to deliver a high-grade copper resource from shallow depths is being validated with further drilling,” Chairman, Richard Homsany, said.
“The 18.5% (for 1.0m) copper grade result in the latest assay results is an outstanding outcome, together with the other results reported here. The Project is shaping up to be potentially significant.
“We are enthusiastic and confident about the prospectivity of our wholly-owned West Musgrave Project, located only 40km east of the world‐class Nebo Babel Ni‐Cu‐Co‐PGE deposit, and its ability to unlock further high grade copper mineralization with future drilling.
“As we continue to drill for further copper mineralization and seek to establish continuity of the mineralized copper zones, our confidence in the value of our West Musgrave Project escalates.
“It is also pleasing that our copper mineralization largely commences from very shallow depths.”
Three of the RC drill holes completed in the late 2022 RC drilling campaign at Tollu were aimed at testing the continuity along strike of a zone of high-grade copper lenses at Forio identified in previous drilling. This high-grade Cu zone was first targeted because of visible malachite (Cu carbonate in oxide zone) in an isolated quartz vein outcrop at the surface.
