Iltani Resources (ASX:ILT) has identified new targets at the Orient Project in North Queensland following a recent rock chip sampling program.
The new target area located 1,100m southwest of Orient West returned peak grades of 10.5 grams per tonne silver, and 0.84% lead in a reconnaissance outcrop and float sampling program.
These results extend the known mineralisation across the area into tenement application 29057.
Iltani conducted the same program at the Deadman Creek prospect, which returned peak grades of 51.6g/t silver, 16.4g/t indium, 1.68% lead, and 0.24% zinc.
The company also sampled the Orient North, South, West, and East prospects based on mineralisation uncovered in recent versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) surveys.
An outcrop sample from Orient North returned 323g/t silver, 89.1% lead, and 0.21% zinc, while Orient South returned 478.6g/t silver, 9.54% lead, and 5.18% zinc.
Orient South also uncovered 0.27% tin and an antimony grade of 5.35% from a dump sample, marking one of the greater projects highest antimony assay grade.
Managing Director Donald Garner says the recent rock chip sampling program returned some “great results”.
“The sampling confirmed the presence of high-grade mineralisation at Orient North, South, West and East,” Garner says.
“What is really exciting are the results from Deadman Creek and the samples southwest of Orient West. Even though these results are not as high-grade as the sampling from the Shallow VTEM Target areas, the sampling was undertaken in areas of no previous workings and has returned some outstanding results.”
Iltani intends to return a resource estimate of Orient East early next month after completing additional infill drilling at the prospect.
The company will conduct a VTEM targeted drilling program, focusing on Orient North, South, West, and East prospects, with an expected commencement in late September or early October.
