High-grade results continue outside the 1% copper grade shell, plus shallow gold in hole KITDD_010 greater than 10 times the background grade in the Kitumba Mineral Resource
Blackthorn Resources Limited (ASX:BTR) (“the Company” or “Blackthorn Resources”) is pleased to provide assay results for drill holes KITDD_008, KITDD_009 and KITDD_010.
KITDD_009 was drilled vertically to a depth of 639.1m as a 100 m step-out to the west of S36_033. This hole has intersected a long interval of high grade (+1%) Cu and indicates a high probability of extending the 1% grade shell.
KITDD_008 was drilled on an azimuth of 090, dipping 70 degrees to a depth of 881.14 meters. It was designed to test the southern extent of the Kitumba deposit in a large chargeable feature identified in the Orion 3D IP survey. This hole intersected a long interval of above 0.5% Cu material.
KITDD_010 was drilled vertically to a depth of 620.1 meters. This hole was planned 50m to the west of the failed hole KITDD_001 (332m, planned depth 600m), to effectively “twin” the drill holes. KITDD_010 drilled its entire length in the leached and brecciated material of the Mumbwa Fault Zone, with a shallow gold-rich zone associated with massive hematite replaced material and short intervals of preserved secondary mineralisation. This hole closes the deposit off at this location.
