Antares Metals (ASX:AM5) has identified a vein system spanning 450m in length, north of its Conglomerate Creek prospect within its Mt Isa North Copper and Uranium Project in Queensland.
Rock chip samples returned up to 22% copper, 1.6 grams per tonne gold, and 394g/t silver from sample ASR0051.
Within the current program, samples returned 13.9% copper and 20g/t silver at sample ASR0063 and 9% copper, 0.6g/t gold, and 218g/t silver from ASR0057.
Antares also collected samples above a geophysical target at the surface, returning 1.1% copper, 7.4g/t gold, and 50g/t silver at sample ASR0037.
Field teams will review the prospects before continuing with mapping and sampling programs at the area.
CEO Johan Lambrechts says the indication of gold and silver presence with potential of copper mineralisation enhances the prospectivity of the area.
“Our Mt Isa Copper and Uranium Project continues to return outstanding field results and gives further encouragement to systematically explore our tenement holdings for copper and uranium mineralisation,” Lambrechts says.
Antares Metals is an Australian explorer focused on advancing its mount Isa North Copper and Uranium Project, which spans 2,003km2 in north Queensland.
