Positive Results from Initial Roche Dure Extension Drilling Program
Highlights
• Results from the first 4 of 46 planned resource drill holes at the Roche
Dure North-East Extension, confirms further widespread, high-grade
spodumene lithium mineralisation including 226.8m @ 1.67% Li2O & 307
ppm Sn and 226.8m @ 1.67@ Li2O
• Seventy five samples returned values greater than 2% including 3
individual samples grading greater than 3% Li2O with the highest value
being from hole MO22DD003 from 122 to 124 metres downhole grading
3.59 Li2O
• The latest drill holes demonstrate grade continuity both down-dip and
along strike at Roche Dure.
• Drilling results moving along strike to the north-east confirm the Roche
Dure orebody dipping shallower on the northernmost drill section.
AVZ Minerals Limited (ASX: AVZ, OTC: AZZVF) (AVZ or Company) is pleased to
report it has received further strong results from its Mineral Resource drilling
(Figure 3) at the Manono Lithium and Tin Project (Manono Project) in the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It has received results from the first 4
diamond drill holes at the Roche Dure North-East Extension drilling programme.
AVZ’s Managing Director Mr Nigel Ferguson commented: “The first 4 holes drilled
at Roche Dure (Figure 3), as part of AVZ’s commitment to the Early Works
Programme this year, are of the same lithium grade, tenor and intersection widths
as previously encountered. Whilst only 4 holes have been reported, samples up to
hole MO22DD016 out of the 23 holes completed to date (Figure 4) have been
dispatched from site and these pending results will be reported soon. Appendix 3
summaries the geology and assay values of these first 4 holes.”
“Of potentially significant interest is the reinterpretation of the Roche Dure
orebody from about Section 8,200mN onwards which is well beyond the most
northerly edge of the current pit design. Hole MO22DD003 (Figure 7) shows
strong mineralisation with higher grade intercepts downhole but the lower dip of
the orebody here, interpreted from both the reported hole and the lithological
logging of new holes drilled nearby, is significant in that higher tonnages per
section and vertical metre may be generated because of the lower angle of dip of
the orebody moving north. Further work is required in these areas, but this is an
encouraging and unexpected development.”
