Terrain Minerals Limited (ASX: TMX) has identified significant anomalies in exploration activities at the Larin’s Lane prospect within its wholly-owned Smokebush Project in Western Australia.
The company has three simultaneously running exportation campaigns under way at Smokebush, which Is located within the Yalgoo mineral field, 350km north of Perth in Western Australia.
Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) Soils Sampling
Highlights:
• Large New Gold Anomaly – ~700m by ~250m identified
• “Open” Copper with associated Nickel Anomaly – ~600m by ~350m open towards the South East
• MMI EXTENSION Programme to define Copper/Ni anomaly – Nine sq. km extension programme now scheduled
• New Anomalies within similar geological setting to Golden Gove
• Planning for drill testing of Gold and Copper/Ni targets once boundaries defined
Terrain management said the maiden exploration programme over Larin’s Lane has been highly successful and was designed to test zones of archean greenstones interpreted from regional magnetics pinched between late monzogranites units.
A total of 834 soil samples were collected on a 100m by 50m grid pattern with lines orientated E-W crossing the geological features interpreted to be orientated NW-SE.
Other Smokebush activities
Gold – IP survey ongoing with team expected to finish field activities by the end of May 2023. One new IP target has been identified since the last update for a Total of Four IP drill worthy targets.
Lithium – Rock chip sample results have identified two areas located between Monza and Paradise City with up to 200 ppm lithium oxide and K/Rb ratios <40 which is considered a prospective indicator for lithium in Pegmatites. Newly generated drill targets are now being scrutinised by consultants and the market will be updated accordingly.
