IROQUOIS SOIL SAMPLING HIGHLIGHTS ZINC-LEAD FEEDER ZONE
COPPER ANOMALISM STRONGLY DEFINES FEEDER ZONE STRUCTURE TO ZN-PB MINERALISATION
Introduction
Strickland Metals Limited (ASX:STK) ("Strickland" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on its Iroquois personalZn-Pb discovery located in the Earaheedy Basin (80% Strickland; 20% Gibb River Diamonds Ltd (ASX:GIB)).
Management Comment
Andrew Bray, Chief Executive Officer, said, "After announcing our exciting zinc-lead discovery at Iroquois last October, we've spent considerable time trying to understand the geology and mineralisation to assist with follow- up drill plan design.
While the soil sampling program generated broad multi-element anomalies, the elevated copper anomalism maps the structure incredibly accurately. We believe these are the feeder zones for the mineralised fluids. This is a big step forward not only for effectively drilling the existing zinc-lead mineralisation, but also for locating further feeder zones throughout the wider prospect.
In light of this interpretation, it is evident that the drilling we've completed to date (including the discovery holes) is predominantly on the western edge of the main structure. Further programs will target the north-east extensions, and also drill on the eastern side of the feeder zone, where we expect to intersect similar mineralisation to what we've seen on the western side.
ForThe same elevated copper anomalism and geochemical signature was observed south-east of the Iroquois mineralisation, representing potentially a second feeder zone. Interestingly, this anomalism is located directly along a fault structure from the previously intersected mineralisation.
Native Title Heritage Surveys are scheduled to take place in early April 2022. Depending on confirmation of cleared areas, we are in the fortunate position of being able to expedite any drilling given that the Company has an RC rig and diamond rig on site for the remainder of 2022. Additional rigs will also be added during the year, providing the Company with further flexibility around Iroquois programs.
