Miramar Resources Ltd (ASX:M2R) chairman Allan Kelly tells Proactive the company has intersected bedrock copper sulphide mineralisation during maiden diamond drilling at the Whaleshark Project in the Ashburton region of WA, confirming the potential for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation for the first time. This discovery follows the drilling of three diamond holes for 1,050 metres in a program co-funded by the Western Australian Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) to the tune of A$180,000. The drill program targeted a discrete gravity anomaly within the Whaleshark granite, which previously returned strong 'interface' aircore results of up to 435 parts per million (ppm) copper, 889 ppm cobalt and 7.7 g/t silver.
