Recharge Metals (ASX:REC) reports that it has commenced a reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its Brandy Hill South Project in Western Australia.
The RC drilling campaign will consist of about 2,000m and will be carried out by Impact Drilling Services with a goal of completing pre-collars to pave the way for additional diamond tail drilling.
RC drilling will also test a Downhole Transient Electromagnetic (DHTEM) conductor 1.5km along strike from the current target area and anomalous copper results received from historic air core drilling programs.
Addressing the drilling, Recharge Managing Director, Brett Wallace, commented: “We are very excited to resume drilling with the RC drilling program to test a DHTEM conductor and anomalous historic results and to prepare pre-collars.
“We are also expecting results from two other diamond holes shortly “
More importantly the diamond drill program to target strong off-hole electromagnetic conductors and to further test the strike and depth extensions to mineralisation.
We are also expecting results from two other diamond holes shortly and look forward to reporting on those.”
The company also notes that an additional five diamond drillholes have been designed to test the two high order conductors identified from previously announced drillhole BHD026 and other DHTEM conductors from drillhole BHRC017.
Planned diamond drilling will also test the strike and depth extensions of the known mineralisation, with West Core Drilling being contracted to carry out the program.
The Brandy Hill South Project is located about 60km southeast of the township of Yalgoo in Western Australia’s Murchison region and covers a land area of about 100km-square, with Recharge owning 100% of all associated tenements. The project area is well serviced with infrastructure and currently services Silver Lake Resource’s (ASX:SLR) Deflector gold-copper mine located 18km to the north. Recharge’s primary focus is to delineate economically significant copper and gold resources from the Brandy Hill South Prospect.
With the RC drilling campaign now underway, Recharge Metals announces that a DD rig is being mobilised and is expected to arrive at site later this week.
Assays are currently pending for a further two diamond drillholes.
