Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX:RTR) is moving to expand on discoveries at the Chinook, Tonka and Navajoh prospects of the Earaheedy Zinc-Lead-Silver-Copper Project in Western Australia with two new tenement acquisitions, increasing the company’s adjoining land fourfold.
Rumble believes the Earaheedy Project is emerging as a world-class base metal system, speculating that the known mineralisation discovered at Chinook, Tonka and Navajoh may be an outer metal halo zone of a deeper, massive base metal system.
The newly granted tenements have doubled the strike length of the highly prospective Navajoh Unconformity Unit (which all three prospective deposits are situated on) to more than 42 kilometres.
Navajoh Unconformity Unit
Rumble now holds in excess of 15 kilometres of mineralised strike potential to the west and northwest, with only two historical drill holes completed in this area, which importantly intersected zinc-lead mineralisation at the Sweetwater Prospect 12 kilometres to the west.
Additionally, there is more than 8 kilometres of strike potential to the southeast of the Tonka-Magazine-Navajoh zinc-lead-silver prospect zone, which combined represents a mineralised footprint of 6 kilometres by 1.2 kilometres, open in all directions.
Next steps
Rumble’s immediate priority will be extensional drilling to the west and northwest of the Chinook Prospect, the primary focus being on defining the limits of this potentially very large base metal discovery.
Recently acquired airborne magnetics data has undergone initial processing and interpretation, identifying similarities in the Sweetwater trend and Chinook prospect, specifically inferred magnetic features and contrasts identical to the features seen at Chinook.
The data has also identified several first order litho-structural targets, which will be followed up with a large surface geochemical survey, designed to assess the entire Sweetwater trend.
Rumble expects that the airborne magnetics coupled with surface geochemical surveying will aid in identifying new drill targets across the Sweetwater trend.
