Aruma Resources' (ASX: AAJ) latest rock chip sampling has encountered significant additional copper mineralisation on its new Bulloo Downs Copper Project in Western Australia.
Around 30% of samples return anomalous copper of greater than 500ppm.
Aruma completed a sampling program at Bulloo Downs to extend the previously identified structures where the company has optioned two granted licences.
The sampling confirmed the mineralisation model at Bulloo Downs and justified further exploration of the full lease package.
Results also confirm the strike extent of the mineralised structures to more than 60 kilometres. Not only are the identified structures mineralised, but mapping indicates they also extend under cover in both directions.
The trends identified in the sampling will help define the current identified structures - samples were taken along the structures where mineralisation was indicated by ironstone or gossan material.
The feature of these results is they show that the copper mineralisation is continuous on the structures and has grades that encourage future exploration.
Bulloo Downs is considered by Aruma to have potential to be a new copper district, with strong indications of deep-seated, structurally controlled hydrothermal copper bodies.
