Pembridge Resources PLC (LON:PERE) has released drill results from definition and step out drilling at the Minto mine conducted during 2019 and 2020.
Drilling was conducted on the Minto North II, Copper Keel South, Copper Keel West, and Copper Keel North areas.
Highlights included 38.9 metres grading 1.66% copper and 0.51grams per tonne gold, 15.75 metres grading 1.44% copper and 0.35 grams per tonne, and 21.6 metres grading 1.16% copper and 0.64 grams.
The interpretation of the results from the 2019-2020 drill programme supports plans to extend mine life and demonstrate the continuity of underground ore deposits. A preliminary economic assessment is now underway.
An exploration drill programme is planned for 2021, with the objective of further expanding resources and advancing numerous high-priority near-mine and regional targets in the Minto Copper Belt.
