The next hole (in approx. 3 weeks time) should tell us more about Plate 2.
Modelling of this response indicates hole EL14D10 passed over and within 10 metres of a stronger conductor, believed to represent an up-dip continuation of the polymetallic mineralised zone encountered previously in hole EL14D09.
The DHEM data and modelling indicates that Plate 2 has a conductivity-thickness product twice that of Plate 1. This is consistent with observed mineralogical and geochemical differences between sulphide mineralisation in the two drillholes. In summary:
• Plate 1 is conductive, contains a greater proportion of calcite than sulphide minerals, has modest Cu and Au but is enriched in Zn, Pb and Ag.
• Plate 2 is an exceedingly strong conductor, characterised by massive sulphides, particularly enriched in Cu, Au, Zn, Pb and Ag.
