Revolver Resources to drill test copper target beneath Dianne deposit in coming days
Revolver Resources将在其高优先级目标中钻出两个钻石孔，然后再转移到昆士兰州项目中的其他目标。
Following recent positive geophysical results, copper explorer Revolver Resources (ASX: RRR) is about to start diamond drilling on a high-priority conductive anomaly at its Dianne project in North Queensland.
The company said drilling will commence in the “coming days” with two diamond core holes totalling over 1,000m expected to test the anomaly.
A shallow massive sulphide target lies less than 200 metres beneath Dianne’s high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper deposit and will be the first of multiple recently identified electromagnetic (EM) anomalies to be tested in the upcoming program.
Revolver managing director Pat Williams said the integrated program of step-out exploration follows very positive geophysical results and a growing understanding of the geology and mineralisation potential. He described the exploration program as systematic.
“Although the proximity to existing deposit at Dianne gives us a high level of confidence in the exploration hypothesis that this target is potentially another VMS system, it has been carefully targeted on a weights of evidence process involving multiple geophysical techniques,” he said.
Dianne project
Revolver holds 100% of the Dianne project, which covers six mining leases and an exploration permit in Queensland’s proven polymetallic Hodgkinson Province.
The project is centred around the Dianne copper deposit hosted in deformed Palaeozoic shale and greywacke of the Hodgkinson formation.
Previous explorers have interpreted the deposit type as VMS predominantly stratiform chert quartzites hosted within a sub-volcanic system associated with basic volcanic sills or flows and dykes with associated disseminated copper mineralisation.
The immediate region around the current mineralisation at Dianne has been a priority focus of recent geophysical work.
Current modelling and calibration work undertaken by geophysical consultants GeoDiscovery Group provided the information required with suitable confidence to locate planned drill holes to test the shallow EM conductor.
Following the two diamond holes for a total 1,000m, drilling is expected to move outbound to test other high priority EM targets within the Dianne tenement.
