Azure Minerals Limited (ASX:AZS) has recommenced drilling at its flagship Promontorio epithermal and porphyry copper project in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
The drill rig has re-entered hole 109 at Cascada and drilling will continue from the 300 metre depth reached prior to the Christmas break.
This hole is designed to test for southern extensions of the Cascada deposit as well as the buried porphyry copper target.
In the lowermost 40 metres of the core, from 260 metres to 300 metres, the company’s geologists have logged moderate amounts of quartz-pyrite veinlets hosted in an intrusive porphyry rock.
An initial target depth of 500 metres has been estimated to test the zone where an induced polarisation survey identified two strong coincident anomalies, represented by high chargeability and low resistivity.
Assay results from the first three completed holes are expected to be available for release within the next week, with results from additional holes to be released as they are received.
