Rubianna Resources (ASX: RRE) is preparing to commence an interface sampling program to define copper gold anomaly targets at the company’s North Ruby Well Project, within the Murchison tenements in Western Australia.
Infill sampling will begin next week, with an aircore drilling program covering 140 holes for 7,000 metres.
The anomalies to be followed up occur within the volcanic units of the Narracoota Formation, with the response consistent with a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralised system.
Rotary air blast and aircore drilling has previously been used to sample the cover and bedrock interface below about 20 to 30 metres of cover.
The sampling program is seeking to define anomalies within four target areas, three with coincident gold and copper anomalism, and one with historical drilling that indicates shallow gold anomalism to 2.7 grams per tonne gold.
Results from the program are expected before the end of June 2012.
