Red River Resources Limited announced initial assay results from an exploration drilling program at Ermine Project, part of its Thalanga Operations in Queensland. The Company completed an initial two holes (ERDD18001 & ERDD18005) before demobilising the drilling rig for the wet season. The program aimed to test several geophysical and geochemical anomalies in the larger Ermine- Echidna mineralised system. Highlights from drilling included: RDD18005: 1.95m @ 15.5% Zn Eq. (1.1% Cu, 2.2% Pb, 9.1% Zn, 0.1 g/t Au & 33 g/t Ag) from 223.05m down hole at the Ermine North target. The Ermine-Echidna system is located on EPM 12766 and is approximately 75km east of Red River's Thalanga Operations. Further discoveries near Thalanga have the potential to provide RVR with additional material that could be processed at the Thalanga plant, which has capacity for increased throughput. The Ermine-Echidna system is located on EPM 12766 and is approximately 75km to the east of Red River's Thalanga Operations. Previous exploration has defined a large (2km+ length) coincident geochemical and geophysical anomaly. Previous historic drilling (carried out by Plutonic Operations Ltd. in 1992 and 1993) produced a number of significant high grade intercepts including 3.2m @ 1.2% Cu, 7.9% Pb, 29.2% Zn, 0.4 g/t Au & 190 g/t Ag from drill hole ERCD14A. The high grade zinc mineralisation identified by Plutonic consists of a sulphide debris flow, typical of the outer fringe of a Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) Deposit. Review of the diamond core by Red River's Exploration team has confirmed this interpretation. The sulphide debris flow consists of an accumulation of rock debris consisting of clasts of volcanics, sediments, jasper and sphalerite rich massive sulphide boulders. The poly metallic mineralisation intersected in ERDD18005 has the potential to be the source of the high grade sulphide rich debris flow discovered by Plutonic. Ongoing analysis by Red River's exploration team has confirmed the presence of encouraging outcropping lithologies including extensive jasper horizons and local gossans developed at the boundary between felsic volcanics and an overlying sequence of mixed sediments and volcanics. Drill hole ERDD18005 intersected 1.95m metres of interbedded massive sulphide, semi massive sulphide and fine grained siltstone from 223.05m down hole. Drill hole ERDD18001 did not intersected any material mineralisation. Mineralisation intersected in ERDD18005 is `in-situ' in nature and has the potential to be a source of the high grade sulphide debris flow drilled by Plutonic at Ermine. Drill hole ERDD18005 intersected 1.95 metres of interbedded massive sulphide, semi massive sulphide and fine grained siltstone from 223.05m down hole. Drill hole ERDD18001 did not intersected any material mineralisation. Mineralisation intersected in ERDD18005 is `in-situ' in nature and has the potential to be a source of the high grade sulphide debris flow drilled by Plutonic at Ermine. ERDD18005 was drilled down dip of ERC034 which was drilled by Plutonic in 1992, which intersected 7m @ 7.84% Zn Eq. (1.4% Cu, 0.7% Pb, 2.1% Zn, 0.1 g/t Au, 13 g/t Ag). Plutonic drilled a number of other holes (ERCD23, ERCD35, ERCD37 - completed in 1993) in the area, which didn't extend deep enough to intersect the mineralization. RVR plan to drill down dip, testing the core of the Ermine North conductivity anomaly and along strike with a view to better define the extend of the mineralisation at Ermine North. The Ermine conductivity anomaly is also planned to be tested by drilling. Analysis indicates that the previous historic drilling (ERC27 and ERC28) carried out by Plutonic, was not deep enough the test the anomaly Evaluation of the historic core is also underway to help vector to a thicker section of the sediment package. Jasper fertility and gossan sampling and mapping will also continue.
