Adelaide Resources (ASX: ADN) has followed up some high grade copper hits from drilling at Alford West in South Australia, completing a geochemical soil sampling program.
Alford West is located in the northern part of the Moonta Copper-Gold Project is at the southern end of the Olympic Copper Gold Province, a world class mineral belt.
Historical auger geochemical drilling completed at Alford West by WMC/NBH in the 1970s-1980s defined two distinct corridors of anomalous copper, a northern zone “L Zone”, and a southern zone “P Zone”.
Recent aircore drilling by Adelaide Resources concentrated on the northern L Zone, with some holes testing the southern P Zone.
Using a field portable X-Ray fluorescence (FPXRF) geochemical survey identified three zones of copper anomalism.
Two of these zones essentially coincide with the L and P zones identified in the historic auger drilling, while a third zone “G Zone” is apparent in the FPXRF data.
A follow-up aircore drilling program has been modified to test all three of the anomalous copper zones defined from both the historic auger and recent FPXRF surveys and will commence next week.
