True North Copper encounters visible copper sulphide zones at Cloncurry
Recently listed True North Copper (TNC) has encountered large zones of visible copper sulphide mineralisation near its great Australia resource on its Cloncurry project in Queensland.
An initial two-hole drilling program (totalling 820m) targeted extensions to the existing great Australia resource and potential continuity to the greater Australian target.
Drilling of the two holes identified large zones of visible copper sulphide mineralisation.
Hole GAD014 detected about 180 metres of consistent mineralisation and multiple zones of chalcopyrite mineralisation while hole GAD015 encountered multiple zones of chalcopyrite mineralisation.
Managing director Marty Costello said drilling was undertaken to gain a better understanding of the greater Australian target.
“Our recent great Australia resource drilling program was undertaken to help us understand how we would undertake potential extension of the great Australia resource towards the greater Australian target,” he said.
“We have recently completed an induced polarisation (IP) survey of the greater Australian target area. We believe IP is an effective tool for targeting potential copper mineralisation.
“We remain excited about the exploration potential at the great Australia resource especially considering that historical drilling has been limited and shallow.”
Samples have been sent to ALS Global Laboratory for analysis and results are pending.
