Revolver Resources fires off plans for Mt Isa-style copper targets

Revolver Resources (ASX:RRR) has planned a fieldwork program after identifying multiple high-priority, structural-stratigraphic targets at the Osprey Copper Project in Queensland. 

The company completed a detailed structural and stratigraphic interpretation of the Osprey Project area, which uncovered 14 high priority zones that have strong evidence of the prospectivity of “large-scale” Mt Isa-style epigenetic copper mineralisation.

Revolver Resources, which has a market capitalisation of $12.98 million, will apply artificial intelligence to the targeting criteria to generate an updated mineral prospectivity index for direct targeting. 

A ground-based geophysical work program will be conducted in the fourth quarter of this year, to test various targets generated by the geological interpretation and planned AI modelling overlay. 

The aim is to define direct drill targets in the areas of the most prospective geology. 

Managing Director Pat Williams says the recently completed work has boasted the company’s knowledge on the Osprey geology and Mt Isa-style copper prospectivity. 

“Osprey is demonstrating high potential to be a genuine global scale discovery,” Williams says. 

“Across the broader Osprey Project, exploration programs to date have clearly identified permissive source rocks, structure, with evidence of large-scale hydrothermal copper-bearing fluids, sedimentary faults and traps and permissive host rocks — all the elements required to host a significant Mt Isa-style copper deposit.

“This latest installment of our disciplined systematic work program has now guided us towards areas where all these elements occur in proximity, to our diamond drill campaign leading us toward an exciting tier one copper discovery.”

The Osprey Project covers six exploration permits within the North-West Minerals Province, one of the world’s richest producing regions. 

Revolver Resources is an Australian developer and explorer focused on copper discoveries in proven Australian jurisdictions.
