Silver City Minerals Ltd (ASX:SCI) has received results from rock chip samples collected from multiple prospects at its tenements in the Broken Hill district.
Results featured peak grades of 10.4% copper and 0.15% cobalt.
The new exploration results support previous sample results and indicate widespread copper and cobalt across the company’s tenements.
READ: Silver City Minerals has drill spinning targeting new copper-gold mineralisation at Copper Blow
The new exploration results continue to build a pipeline of prospective targets beyond the Copper Blow Project in the same area where a 5,000-metre drill program recently commenced.
Mt Brown and Mt Brown Creek returned copper values to 10.4% and 4.2% respectively in zones peripheral to Broken Hill style lead-zinc-silver mineralisation.
Copper zones have not been drill tested.
Yalcowinna Creek returned 2.9% copper and 0.15% cobalt building on historical samples of 11.9% copper and 0.17% cobalt.
The 1.2-kilometre copper-rich zone has had limited drilling to date.
Further exploration planned
Silver City anticipates a more detailed program of evaluation of each of the prospects identified.
This will include a re-assessment of previous work (if any), more detailed rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysics.
IP survey initiated at Yalcowinna Creek
At Yalcowinna Creek, a trial induced polarisation survey has commenced to map copper sulphide mineralisation.
