Further assay results from the summer Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program have returned thick intervals of near-surface, high-grade copper mineralization, including:
Drill hole SR23-38 (4100N Zone) has intersected:
24.4m @ 1.1% Cu from 48.8m, including,
6.1m @ 2.8% Cu from 54.9m, including,
1.5m @ 8.3% Cu from 54.9m, and,
4.5m @ 1.5% Cu from 67.1m
Drill hole SR23-41 (4100N Zone) has intersected:
12.2m @ 1.1% Cu from 118.9m, including,
3m @ 4% Cu from 126.5m
Drill hole SR23-43 (4100N Zone) has intersected:
1.5m @ 1% Cu from 51.8m, and,
1.5m @ 1.6% Cu from 64m, and,
3.1m @ 2.7% Cu from 76.2m, and,
1.5m @ 1% Cu from 80.8m
High-grade, near-surface copper has now been defined at the 4100N Zone over a strike of more than 1,300m and a width of 400m, with drilling and geophysics supporting the potential to extend mineralization at least 600m farther to the north-east.
Drilling results continue to demonstrate the strong correlation between geophysical targets and copper mineralisation, with an extensive suite of geophysical targets remaining to be tested.
The latest assays are part of the 63 drill holes completed at Storm in 2023 that will support the maiden mineral resource estimation at Storm.
All the known high-grade, near-surface copper zones remain open providing outstanding potential for further drilling to expand the resource.
