Positive Results from Shallow Drilling At Tiger T2 Prospect, Brightlands
Copper‐Gold Project, North--West Queensland
Highlights:
Results from a 12 hole shallow drilling program at T2 Prospect have
upgraded the copper soil anomaly and confirms previous results of the Sub
Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey that T2 Prospect has potential IOCG style
mineralization.
Drilling returned significant intersections*1 including:
Hole BTD027 returned 52m @0.11% Cu (peak value 0.2% Cu)
Hole BTD037 returned 37m @0.10%
Hole BTD033 returned 24m@0.10% Cu ( peak value 0.3% Cu), 9 of the 12 holes
recorded down‐hole intervals of approximately 0.1% Cu or greater.
These are potential halo intercepts in an IOCG system.
BTD027 and BTD037 are longest intersections*1 of copper mineralisation
drilled in the Tiger area to date.
The closest holes to BTD027 along strike
in the Tiger area are 400 metres north‐west and 900 metres south
east.
The results are in line with expectations of widespread copper
mineralisation in the Tiger area, adjacent to the Rocklands Cu‐Co
deposits in the Cloncurry District, NW Queensland.
With this initial program upgrading the T2 Prospect, further planning will
be developed during the wet season for the next stage which may include a
combination of further bedrock drilling and deeper reverse circulation
drilling to test the whole prospect area.
Australian resources company GBM Resources Limited (ASX: GBZ) ("GBM" or
"the Company") is pleased to advise that recently completed drilling at the
Brightlands Cu Au Project in North‐West Queensland has yielded
positive results from its shallow drill program and upgraded the T2
Prospect as a potential Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) system.
The drilling program was designed to test the strongest section of the soil
geochemical copper anomaly and also the continuation of the strong SAM
conductivity anomaly as it trends under alluvial cover to the southeast.
The program comprised a total of 12 widely spaced reverse circulation drill
holes involving 773 metres of drilling.
Holes ranged from 50 to 80 metres
deep and were inclined to the southwest at ‐80 degrees.
These results significantly upgrade the soil anomaly and provide further
confirmation of the widespread copper mineralisation in the Tiger area,
adjacent to the Rocklands Cu‐Co deposits in the Cloncurry District of
NW Queensland.
Soil sampling on the T2 Prospect has defined large areas of anomalous
copper in soil with a clearly anomalous area identified coincident with the
significant T2 SAM anomaly.
This anomaly is the strongest soil anomaly yet
generated by the company in the Tiger area, and is truncated to the
southwest by alluvium associated with the Butchers Creek Drainage system.
Hole BTD027 intersection is on the line testing the area of strongest SAM
EQNMR response which is largely obscured by alluvium associated with the
Butchers Creek Drainage system.
Hole BTD027 returned 52m @0.11% copper.
The T2 Prospect recorded strong Sub Audio Magnetic (SAM) conductivity
responses in a survey completed in 2009.
SAM has been successfully utilized
on other areas within the Eastern Succession of the Mount Isa Inlier to
identify possible mineralized structures in areas of poor exposure and
shallow cover.
Future work program will be developed during the wet season to include
detailed gravity, further bedrock drilling and deeper RC.
