Sounds like the majority of the 20 RC holes were in the West and Middle Zones and then there's an East Zone?
The Young Australian Project consists of four granted mining leases covering an area of 15ha.Previous exploration and open cut mining have defined three separate ore zones in Young Australian and designated locally as East, Middle and West zones.
In 2008, the Company completed a 15 RC hole program totalling 1,892 metres, mainly focusing on expanding the copper resources contained in the east and middle zones. The best intersections of the 2008 drill program include 39m @ 1.41% Cu and 792ppm Co from 80m from a hole drilled at the northeast end of the pit.
The recently completed drill program in Young Australian consists of 20 RC holes for 2,229 metres. The program was designed primarily to expand the down dip extensions of both the west and middle zones which remain mostly untested by the 2008 drilling campaign.
A majority of holes were positioned on the west side of the pit and drilled towards southeast at a dip of -55 degrees with depths varying from 70 to 148m.
"The drilling to date has confirmed the presence of multiple high-grade copper zones in Young Australian, most of which still remain open beyond the current pit floor (maximum depth of 48 metres) and along strike. Resource block modelling and scoping studies are currently underway to assist in this program."
