Discovery Metals confirms copper mineralisation at Quirinus prospect
LONDON (Thomson Financial) – Discovery Metals Ltd said results from the soil geo-chemical survey at the Quirinus prospect confirms copper mineralisation as its strike length has been increased to at least 3,300 meters from 1,500 meters.
Assay results are pending and a diamond drilling program is planned to further assess the prospect, it added.
Managing director Brad Sampson said: ‘These results demonstrate the exploration potential of the company’s 6,400 km square tenement package in addition to the inferred mineral resources previously defined at Zeta, Plutus and Petra.’
‘We still have hundreds of strike kilometres of potentially copper enriched rocks in our tenements that we intend to explore,’ he added.
