The directors of Encounter Resources Ltd. announce that a 3,000m RC drill program has commenced at Dune, part of the at the 100% owned Lamil Copper-Gold Project in the Paterson Province of WA. Lamil covers an area of 61km2 and is located 25km northwest of the major copper-gold mine at Telfer, owned by Newcrest Mining. Lamil is adjacent to a major regional gravity lineament which marks the location of a significant structure and deformation zone that would have acted as a pathway for ore forming fluids during the formation of the Proterozoic aged deposits. This is a regionally similar structural context to the setting of Rio Tinto Ltd.'s Winu copper-gold deposit (Inferred Resource of 503Mt @ 0.35% Cu and 0.27 g/t Au 3). Dune sits in the northwest of Lamil and consists of a laterally extensive +1g/t Au supergene zone outlined in previous broad spaced drilling. The mineralisation is located on the fold axis in the northern part of the Lamil Dome. A 14 hole RC drill program completed in November 2020 successfully: · extended the gold mineralisation intersected in ETG0003 and ETG0010; · identified a mineralisation vector to the south that remains open; · expanded the gold mineralisation footprint; and · intersected primary, copper-gold mineralisation in a series of stacked lodes. Follow up RC drilling will focus on extending mineralisation to the south and east where the copper-gold mineralisation is strengthening. A number of proximal pathfinder elements (up to 2,530ppm Bi, 9ppm Te & 20ppm Sb) are also vectoring towards this area where the prospective Telfer Formation host unit is interpreted to sit directly below the thin surfical cover. EIS co-funded diamond drilling at Dune, Elsa and Gap is scheduled to follow the current RC drill program.
