Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR) has re-commenced on the Earaheedy Project, located approximately 110km northeast of Wiluna, Western Australia, with a focus on the recently discovered Kalitan high-grade sulphide Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu feeder zone.
This multi-rig drill programme is designed to define further broad, shallow high-grade Zn-Pb mineralisation within the Kalitan Feeder Zone, whilst also targeting new Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag discoveries at depth.
Kalitan Feeder Zone – RC and Diamond Drilling Commenced
Rumble recently announced that broad spaced drilling had discovered wide, shallow zones of high-grade Zn-Pb-Ag sulphide with Cu mineralisation within the recently discovered and newly named Kalitan Feeder Zone at the Chinook Prospect.
The Kalitan Feeder Zone strikes northwest, lies along the northeast margin of the Chinook Prospect (mineralised footprint of 4.1km by 1.9km and open in all directions), has been defined over a length of 2.3km and remains open along strike and at depth. The
two most significant intercepts to date include:
• EHRC370 returned 51m @ 4.76% Zn + Pb, 5.81 g/t Ag from 82m, including; 20m @ 8.78% Zn + Pb, 11.65 g/t Ag from 98m o which includes 8m @ 14.61% Zn + Pb, 17.7 g/t Ag from 104m, and
• EHRC136 850m NW of EHRC370 returned 37m @ 3.25% Zn + Pb, 7.18 g/t Ag from 196m, including; 10m @ 6.57% Zn + Pb, 16.24 g/t Ag from 200m, within this broad zone of Zn-Pb mineralisation, significant Cu and Ag returned 4m @ 1.54% Cu with 6.1% Zn +Pb & 23.6 g/t Ag from 204m.
RC infill and extension drilling has now commenced to further delineate the shallow high-grade sulphide Zn-Pb mineralisation along the 2.3km (open) Kalitan Feeder Zone within the Navajoh Unconformity Unit.
Diamond core drilling to test the Kalitan feeder structure in the underlying Purple Shale and Iroquois Carbonate Formation and targeting potential Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag deposits has commenced.
The shallow broad zones of high-grade Zn-Pb, along with the discovery of significant Cu and Ag deeper in the Kalitan Feeder Zone, emphasise the high potential for deeper large-scale Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation. These targets are interpreted to occur below the extensive Navajoh Unconformity Unit which hosts the Chinook Prospect Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation.
Earaheedy Project – Emerging World Class Base Metal System
Since the shallow large-scale Chinook discovery in April 2021, a 50,000m scoping drill programme has uncovered a rapidly expanding world class scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu base metal system, with the drilling continuing to make near surface large-scale & high-grade sulphide discoveries along with identifying new large-scale deposit type targets at depth, confirming the province-scale base metal potential at Earaheedy.
Initially, Rumble drill targeted the large tonnage, shallow and flat lying Zn-Pb-Ag sulphide mineralisation hosted in the Navajoh Unconformity Unit. This has led to the outlining of the 4.1km by 1.9km Chinook discovery and the 6km by 1.2km Tonka, Magazine and Navajoh mineralised trend.
Both discovery zones remain open along strike and at depth During the 2021 exploration campaign, greater technical understanding was gained from drilling, geological logging and geophysical programs, which led to Rumble interpreting, targeting and eventually intersecting the high-grade sulphide Zn-Pb Kalitan Feeder Zone within the Chinook Prospect.
The shallow broad zones of high-grade Zn-Pb, along with the discovery of significant Cu-Ag deeper in the Kalitan Feeder Zone, emphasises the high potential for deeper, large-scale Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation in the Purple Shale and Iriquois Carbonate formations at depth which remain to be drill tested.
The potential to intersect multiple inferred high-grade feeders at Chinook, Tonka, Magazine, Navajoh and ultimately targets associated within the 42km of prospective mineralised strike, is interpreted to be very high.
