Initial results indicate high quality thermal coal with samples being assessed for coking coal properties. -----------------------
(ASX: QMN) has intersected a high grade zone of 3 metres at 13.1% copper and 4.9 grams per tonne gold at the first of four diamond drilling holes it drilled at the Greenmount ore body in Queensland.
This is contained within a broader zone of 18 metres at 5.7% copper and 2.3g/t gold from 156 metres.
Notably, the intersection is located about 50 metres north of a reverse circulation hole that intersected 72 metres at 2.4% copper and 0.92g/t gold. ---------------
(ASX:AZS) has recorded a "monster" of a copper intercept from drilling assays from Promontorio deposit, located in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
The 70.0 metre at 2.7% copper equivalent drill intercept was from Cascada – 200 metres northwest of Promontorio.
It also included 35.9 metres at 4.8% CuEq, including 11.25 metres at 10.5% CuEq. ------------------
(ASX: WRM) has uncovered shallow high grade gold and silver during infill drilling at the Lady Hampden deposit on the Mt Carrington gold-silver project in northern New South Wales.
Highlights include 26 metres at 3.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 69g/t silver from 31 metres including 12 metres at 6.4g/t gold and 70g/t silver; and 23 metres at 1.3g/t gold and 63g/t silver from 59 metres.
The new results confirm indications from historical mining data that there are a number of discrete higher grade pods of gold-silver mineralisation within the broad Indicated Resource shell at Lady Hampden -------------------
