Zeus Resources (ASX:ZEU) is streamlining a trenching program at the Casablanca Antimony Project in Central Morocco next month, awaiting final approval from the local forestry department.
The company intends to test surface expression of chargeability anomalies across eight trenches, following findings in an August induced polarity induced polarisation survey.
As reported by Mining.com.au, the August program valued chargeability up to 18 millivolts per volt, with anomalies running coincident with the mapped quartz-stinite veins.
The program is anticipated to take between 10 and 15 days to complete, before assays are returned later in the year to set drill targets for stibnite anomalies.
Each trench will be designed to expose fresh bedrock across mineralisation ahead of geological mapping and structural measurements taken to guide future exploration.
Executive Director Hugh Pilgrim says approval from the Morocco Forestry Department is the final step to begin trenching immediately, which will guide the company’s initial drilling campaign.
“The trenching results will directly inform our drill planning and further validate the scale of this high-grade antimony system,” Pilgrim says.
Zeus Resources is an Australian explorer focused on developing critical mineral assets in South Australia, Western Australia, and Morocco.
