Podium Minerals Limited added the base metal results to the previously released platinum, palladium and gold intercepts from its fourth quarter of 2019 drilling programme at Parks Reef. The base metals add substantial credits to the platinum group metal (PGM) and gold results and are integral to calculation of the resource upgrade scheduled for the end of January 2020. Base metal results provide further confidence in the resource potential of Parks Reef with current Inferred Mineral Resources containing 740,000 ounces of combined platinum, palladium and gold plus base metal credits including 23,200 tonnes of copper. Podium's fourth quarter 2019 drilling programme included 25 drill holes of targeted resource and step-out drilling to increase both the Parks Reef mineral resources and confidence in the continuity of mineralisation along strike. Multi-element assays have now been completed for all of the drill holes which show a horizon of base metal and gold enrichment in the hanging wall above and overlapping with the upper layer of the main PGM Horizon. Similar to previous resource drilling completed in the western and central sectors of Parks Reef, the Base Metal Horizon is characterised by elevated copper grades which reflects the presence of disseminated chalcopyrite in the fresh rock. The base metals provide potential for additional revenue and mining efficiencies including a high value interval with coincident base metals plus platinum, palladium and gold where the base metals overlap with the Upper PGM Horizon.
