WATCH: Over the past couple of months we have released a number of announcements with rockchip results from the Reynolds Range Copper-Gold-Lithium-Antimony Project. In this ‘Ask iTech’ we have a question from an investor about this exploration strategy and when we plan to start drill testing at the project. (4min)
HIGHLIGHTS
• Ongoing field work at the Reynolds Range Project has defined a new 26km long horizon within the Lander Rock Formation that has high potential for polymetallic copper-gold-silver-lead mineralisation
• The prospective horizon sits above a regionally extensive magnetic complex, that includes abundant conformable mafic rocks and is coincident with significant copper-gold-silver-lead mineralisation in rock chips at the Scimitar and Reward Prospects
• The polymetallic nature of mineralisation and geological context suggests a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style of mineralisation
• Regionally significant electromagnetic anomalies at both the Scimitar and Reward Prospect align with the mineralised horizon and have the potential to be caused by massive sulphides associated with VMS mineralisation
• Latest significant results at the Reward Copper-Gold Prospect include:
- RR24-115 – 19.5% Cu, 3.15g/t Au and 2,090.0g/t Ag
- RR24-116 – 19.6% Cu and 12.2g/t Au and 785.0g/t Ag
- RR24-114 – 13.8% Cu and 19.4g/t Ag
Ongoing fieldwork, including mapping and sampling is allowing iTech to develop a model for regional polymetallic copper-gold-silver mineralisation across the Reynolds Range Project. The coincidence of an extensive magnetic complex, high-grade mineralisation in rock chips and regionally significant electromagnetic anomalies suggest a compelling exploration target for volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation across a strike length of over 26km.
