The Rover Project is situated 80 km southwest of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, with total tenement area of ~1,054 km² covering a significant portion of the Rover Mineral Field.
The primary mineralisation style at Rover is Iron Oxide Copper Gold, which is known to host large-scale economic copper and gold mineralisation similar to the significant Olympic Dam mine in South Australia, and Candelaria in Chile.
The Rover Mineral Field contains three advanced mineral deposits: Rover 1 (Au, Ag, Cu, Bi, Co), Explorer 108 (Ag, Pb, Zn) and Explorer 142 (Au, Cu).
Management comments
Castile Resources Managing Director Mark Hepburn said: “It goes without saying that we’re extremely pleased with what is now a solid trend of Castile drilling returning results that not only confirm our revised interpretation of the form and extent of the mineralised pods at Rover 1, but continue to expand the footprint of the resource.”
