VDD0203 intersected significant Copper and Gold mineralisation
VDD0204 intersected significant Copper and Cobalt mineralisation
VDD0205 visually appears to have intersected sporadic iron/copper mineralisation and was drilled some 250m below VDD0195, assays are pending
“Dear shareholder, we are pleased to deliver the most amazing shallow intersections in the absolute world-class mining jurisdiction of Kiruna, Sweden.”, comments CEO Michael Mattsson.
Copperstone announces that the assay results of VDD0203 and VDD0204 have been received from ALS laboratories and compiled by Copperstone, verified by the QP.
Highlights
- VDD0203 intersected [email protected]% Cu from 26m, including [email protected]% Cu and 0.25g/t of gold from 39m downhole depth.
- VDD0204 intersected the A zone main zone and the footwall lode copper, respectively, on three locations, [email protected]% Cu including [email protected]% Cu from 60m and another [email protected]% Cu from 112m. The third one, [email protected]% Cu from 122m.
- In addition, VDD0204 intersected significant cobalt zones [email protected]% Co from 62m and [email protected]% Co from 122m
- The first D zone drilling VDD0205 completed at 929.3m at the north deep shoot, intersected the ironstone copper rich. The lab assays are pending.
- The drill started the second D zone hole VDD0206, at the south deep shoot target, planned for 700m. The hole completion is expected by mid-November.
VDD0203 details:
The hole VDD0203 assay returned [email protected]% Cu, from 26m borehole depth, confirming the mineralisation historically intersected by D-3166 on Viscaria A main zone. The intersection includes [email protected]% Cu and 0.25g/t gold from 39m downhole.
VDD0204 details:
VDD0204 during the phase1 drilling was mainly to test the Copper Cobalt potential in the A zone.
VDD0204 is located along strike, 25m north east of the historical intersection. The borehole intersected the A main zone and the footwall lode mineralisation:
- the A main zone: [email protected]% Cu from 60m borehole depth, including [email protected]% Cu from 74m borehole depth
- The footwall lodes: [email protected]% Cu from 112m, and [email protected]% Cu and 0.24% Co from 122m borehole depth
VDD0205 details:
The target is successfully intersected, with a sporadic visible chalcopyrite rich ironstone between 863m to 894m borehole depth. We are shipping the samples to the lab, and only the lab result could confirm the significance of the intercept.
Conclusions and next steps:
- The completion of A zone drilling confirmed the reliability of the historical drilling, and the potential of shallow gold and cobalt.
- The A zone show significant gold mineralisation at the south deep high-grade copper deposit. But the shallow historical drilling is poorly assayed for gold and cobalt.
- The results are is very encouraging for the gold and cobalt potential, although the investigations are in the early stage.
- Immediately after the D zone deep drilling, the phase2 drilling campaign on the A zone will start.
- The phase two drilling campaign objectives will be to upgrade the shallow copper resources and to define a potential resource for gold and cobalt.
“Viscaria is no doubt one of the most exciting projects in Sweden, where we have several attractive base and precious metals commodities such us copper, iron, gold and cobalt. Our technical team is growing, a great step for Copperstone to start the feasibility studies.”, comments project geologist Maurice Zongo.
“I am very pleased with the ongoing drill program at our future mine site at Viscaria and how this company is operating. Our technical team identified a shallow copper cobalt potential and (in addition to the designed drill holes at the Sunstone geological handover session, Management received Board’s approval to execute on VDD0204.“ , comments CEO Michael Mattsson.
