DRILLING RESUMES AT WIRLONG COPPER DISCOVERY
Peel Mining Ltd is pleased to advise that drilling at Wirlong, as part of JOGMEC's Year 3 farm-in activities, has now recommenced. Follow-up of high grade copper mineralisation in WLDD001 and WLRCDD015 will be a priority. As previously reported, these drillholes completed at Wirlong in late 2015 intersected multiple significant mineralised intervals, confirming a new and potentially important high-grade copper discovery. Mineralisation intersected to date has the typical geochemical, geological and mineral/alteration assemblages of "Cobar-style" deposits.
Drillholes WLRCDD015 and WLDD001, completed at the northern end of Wirlong returned significant new copper mineralised intercepts:
-
WLDD001 returned multiple significant mineralised intercepts, including:
9m @ 8.0% Cu, 17 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 616m (incl. 2.82m @ 21.85% Cu, 46 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au from 619.68m)
38m @ 1.18% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 450m
6m @ 1.23% Cu, 5 g/t Ag from 430m
4m @ 1.14% Cu, 3 g/t Ag from 643m
-
WLRCDD015 returned multiple significant mineralised intercepts, including:
4.9m @ 4.3% Cu, 13 g/t Ag from 402.1m (incl. 0.9m @ 19.5% Cu, 58 g/t Ag from 402.1m)
22m @ 1.0% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 332m
-
3m @ 2.1% Cu, 6 g/t Ag from 451m
2m @ 1.8% Cu, 13 g/t Ag, 1.63% Zn from 524m
Mineralisation in WLRCDD015 and WLDD001 comprises chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite+/-sphalerite+/- galena+/-pyrite and occurs as sulphide disseminations, veins and veinlets, breccia, and massive sulphides within occasionally sheared/deformed and altered (silica/chlorite/sericite) turbidite sediments and/or felsic volcanics (rhyolite/rhyo-dacite). The true width of mineralisation remains unknown at this stage however is thought to be sub-vertical in geometry.
Wirlong is a large prospect covering more than 2.5km strike extent, comprising a package of intercalated, sheared and altered felsic volcanics and sediments. It is defined by historic copper workings, a topographic high, a >2km strike multi-element surface geochemical anomaly, and coincident or semi coincident geophysical anomalies including magnetic, radiometric, gravity, IP and more recently electromagnetic.
