Blackthorn Resources Limited (ASX:BTR) (“the Company” or “Blackthorn Resources”) is pleased to provide assay results for drill holes KITDD_001, KITDD_002, KITDD_004 and KITDD_005.
KITDD_005 was designed as a step-out hole to the west of the existing Kitumba Mineral Resource area to test a zone of high chargeability from the Orion 3D Induced Polarisation (IP) survey. This hole was drilled beyond its target depth (600 m). Details of the mineralisation intersected in this hole were released to the market on 4 September 2012.
KITDD_001 was designed as a step-out hole to the east of the Kitumba Mineral Resource area in proximity to the Mumbwa Fault Zone (MFZ) targeting a north-south oriented Controlled Source Automated Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) conductive feature. As a result of the brecciated nature of the rock in the fault zone the hole failed at 231.72 m and again at 329.72 m after being wedged from 171 m, and did not reach its 600 m target depth.
KITDD_002 was also designed as a step-out hole to the east of the Kitumba Mineral Resource area in the MFZ targeting the CSAMT feature. This hole was drilled vertically to 178.5 m where it failed and then wedged to 555.85 m, short of its target depth (600m) due to a lack of mineralisation.
KITDD_004 was planned to test shallow mineralisation east of S36_018, and to test the potential extension of the high-grade zone to the east. The hole was drilled to its target depth (600 m).
