Three holes totaling 1,765 metres have been completed on the Lewis Ponds polymetallic property in New South Wales, Australia. And additional drilling is planned.
The holes were drilled to determine the orientation of previously intersected mineralization at depth, reports project owner Tri Origin Exploration (TSE).
Hole 15 intersected 13 metres grading 0.08% copper, 0.75% lead, 1.48% zinc and 72 grams silver per tonne, as well as 2 grams gold per tonne from 449 to 462 metres. This section included a 2-metre interval grading 0.1% copper, 1.18% lead, 2.4% zinc, 165 grams silver and 9 grams gold. A second zone, 14 metres thick, from 468 to 482 metres, contained 0.13% copper, 0.97% lead, 1.59% zinc, 56 grams silver and 2.5 grams gold.
Holes 16 and 17 were widely spaced exploration holes which intersected thick sequences of altered rock but contained no economic mineralization. According to the company, the results indicate that the mineralization is open along a shallow plunge to the south. It is also said to be open at depth to the north. A 10,000-metre program, expected to cost $1 million, is planned to test these areas further.
