Results confirm potential to increase resources at the Mt Garnet Tin project
Australian tin exploration and development company Consolidated Tin Mines (ASX: CSD) is pleased to announce positive results from its recent drilling program at the Windermere project, at the Company??s Mt Garnet Tin project near Cairns in northern Queensland. Drilling at Windermere intersected significant sections of near-surface tin mineralisation, and provided further confirmation that the project has the potential to contribute additional resources to the Mt Garnet Tin project. The drill program was designed to target and extend the higher grade zones identified from the Company??s previous drilling at Windermere. This is highlighted at the W3 area, which has a 300 metre strike length with good width and grade intersections. Significant results from the recent program from the W3 area include: ?? Hole 188 2 m @ 2.70 % Sn from surface 4 m @ 1.16 % Sn from 20 metres ?? Hole 148 15 m @ 0.63 % Sn from 35 metres The Windermere project currently has a JORC Inferred Resource of 2.1Mt @ 0.55% Tin (Sn) with a total strike length of 2.9 kilometres - including the Deadmans Gully project area (Attachment 1). The deposit comprises several sections of 200-300 metres of continuous strike length that sit within the total strike extent. The Windermere drill program has identified a number of areas which demonstrate the potential, with further drilling, to fit the Company??s model of a low cost, near-surface, open pit mining operation, with average grades around 0.5% Sn. Highlight results from the program to date are included in Table 1 overleaf. Further results are awaited from the Windemere program and an additional 3,800 metre program is ongoing at the Gillian and Coolgara projects.
