Shallow drilling has upgraded the potential for copper-lead-zinc mineralisation associated with geophysical IP anomalies over a 2km strike length at Frogmore, New South Wales. Recent drill intercepts include 4m grading 3% combined Pb+Zn+Cu from 32m depth above a ‘bullseye’ IP anomaly. • Paradigm is continuing to aggressively explore its White Rock tungsten project, aiming to update the tungsten Mineral Resource by the end of September quarter. • The next round of RC percussion drilling at White Rock and Frogmore will begin in early July. Frogmore Project, New South Wales Aircore drilling Aircore drilling at the Frogmore Project (EL 6590), 200km west of Sydney, has intersected base metal sulphide and oxide mineralisation in several shallow drill holes over a 2km strike length. The best intercept was 3% combined Pb+Zn+Cu over 4 metres associated with disseminated galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and minor pyrite. The Company believes the results are highly encouraging given the strike length of the mineralised volcanic sequence, and the limited shallow depth of drilling completed to date. ‘Bullseye’ IP geophysical anomalies occur beneath the base metal mineralisation, indicating disseminated sulphides at depth (Figure 1). The aircore drilling method has been utilised as a ‘scouting’ tool to test the tops of the IP geophysical anomalies previously discovered by Paradigm. It has proven a cost effective method to rank the anomalies into those associated with copper-lead-zinc mineralisation, and those related to disseminated barren pyrite. The priority IP anomalies now require deeper RC percussion drill testing, scheduled to begin in July.
