White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) and its joint venture partner T2Gold have identified several new zones of copper mineralisation at their Chanach copper/gold project in Kyrgyz Republic.
Channel sampling identified copper zones including 8 metres at 1.72% copper within 33 metres at 0.85%, 4 metres at 1.67% copper and 4 metres at 1.1% copper.
Trenching also resulted in 1 metres at 4.12% copper.
The 2012 drilling program consisted of 5 holes for a total of 623 metres, designed to extend the existing mineralised zone to the East as well as test the skarn contact and a magnetic high adjacent to the skarn contact,
The drilling extended the main existing mineralised zone 100 metres to the East with one drill hole intersecting 26 metres at 0.3% copper.
A second hole drilled on the same section 100 metres to the north and 50 metres higher in elevation intersected 5 metres at 0.4% copper within 25 metres at 0.17% copper in the upper parts of the mineralised system.
More exploration work is being planned for next year.
Other than the Chanach project, White Cliff also has the Laverton gold project, Mouth Remarkable project and the White Cliff Nickel project.
