Eagle Mountain Mining (ASX: EM2) has reported ‘strong’ results from resource expansion drilling at the Talon zone within its fully-owned Oracle Ridge Copper Project in Arizona, with results pointing to a potential 500m mineralised zone.
The company has received results for three drill holes at Talon, with assays currently pending for 16 holes. Standout results include:
- Hole WT-21-31: 91.5m @ 1.37% Cu, 10.86g/t Ag, and 0.38g/t Au; including
- 9.7m @ 3.39% Cu, 29.65g/t Ag and 0.67g/t Au
- 11.7m @ 1.90% Cu, 15.22g/t Ag and 0.52 g/t Au
- 14.8m @ 1.62% Cu, 11.93g/t Ag and 0.53g/t Au
- 8.7m @ 2.00% Cu, 15.20g/t Ag and 0.4g/t Au
- 8.0m @ 1.9% Cu, 13.92g/t Ag and 0.85g/t Au
- Hole WT-21-32: 28.9m @ 2.34% Cu, 21.95g/t Ag and 0.37g/t Au, including
-
- 13.2m @ 3.53% Cu, 33.89g/t Ag, and 0.54g/t Au
- 1.4m @ 9.99% Cu, 147g/t Ag, 2.83g/t Au
-
- Hole WT-21-29: 3.0m @ 1.12% Cu, 9.43g/t Ag, and 0.45 g Au from 244.5mm plus 10.5m @ 1.20% Cu, 13.16g/t Ag and 0.23g/t Au from 292.5m
“What a week for the Western Talon! WT-21-32 has delivered the best assayed intersection of our resource expansion program so far”
Eagle Mountain Mining CEO Tim Mason said: “What a week for the Western Talon! WT-21-32 has delivered the best assayed intersection of our resource expansion program so far…Recent drilling has provided great insight into the geology of The Talon and suggests a potential strike length of over 500 metres.”
Drill holes WT-21-31 and WT-21-32 are situated at the southern and northern end respectively of a 500m long corridor which EM2 describes as having highly prospective geology and limited previous drilling. Two drill rigs are currently testing this mineralisation trend.
A third rig is currently drilling the eleventh hole at the Golden Eagle gold target, 2km east of the Oracle Ridge mine portals. After two further holes, the rig is expected to recommence resource upgrade drilling at the mine area.
