Assays from the first drill hole from Impact Minerals Limited’s
(ASX:IPT) maiden drill programme at the Red Hill Prospect near Broken Hill in New South Wales have confirmed the discovery of several near surface zones of high-grade copper and platinum group elements (PGE) together with nickel, silver and gold within a 32 metre thick zone of mineralisation.
The assays define three main zones of mineralisation within the broader zone:
1. 9.9 m at 1.4% copper, 0.3% nickel, 6.7 g/t Pt-Pd-Au and 19 g/t silver from 67 metres including 4.2 m at 2.6% copper, 0.5% nickel 10.6 g/t Pt-Pd-Au from 71.6 metres.
2. 9.5 m at 1.5% copper, 0.8% nickel, 4.7 g/t Pt-Pd-Au and 14 g/t silver from 53.7 metres including 1.9 m at 2.0% copper, 1.2% nickel, 4.7 g/t Pt-Pd-Au and 16 g/t silver from 53.7 m and also including 5.1 m at 1.9% copper, 0.9% nickel, 6.2 g/t Pt-Pd-Au and 18 g/t silver from 57. 3 metres.
3. 3.7 m at 0.4% copper, 0.7% nickel, 2.1 g/t Pt-Pd-Au and 3 g/t silver from 46 m.
