Sydney - Wednesday - September 5: (RWE Aust Business News) -
Encouraging results have been received from the evaluation drilling
program at the Big Hill tungsten deposit, Cookes Creek, Western
Australia.
Many intersections are considerably higher in tungsten values or
occur over greater intervals than was anticipated, according to Hazelwood
Resources (ASX:HAZ).
The results include 39m at 0.26 per cent tungsten from 14-53
metres with 6m at 1.10pc from 40-46m and 1m at 2.67pc from 44-45m, 20m at
0.47pc from 0-20m with 7m at 1.01pc from 4-11m, 35m at 0.21pc from 0-35m
including 4m at 0.72pc from 0-4m, 13m at 0.26pc from 9-22m including 2m
at 1.2pc from 11-13m.
These new results point to the existence of highly enriched
shoots, some of which occur outside of the known mineralised unit.
Given that many of the world's tungsten mines are underground
operations and are typically in the range of 0.1 to 0.5pc the existence
of these encouraging results in near surface drilling indicates the
potential
of the Big Hill deposit as a low cost open pittable operation.
