Drilling Update
Two areas have been completed to date with a third in the fnal stages of drilling for a total of approximately 881m diamond drilling completed despite production being hampered by stafng issues associated with the holiday period and Western Australian border restrictions.
All drill holes to date have encountered thick zones of alteration including: chlorite, biotite, albite and garnet with visible mineralisation of quartz breccias and disseminated to semi massive sulphides.
In November 2021, Tempest announced the commencement of diamond drilling at the Euro Project primarily focussing on confrmation and extension of historic results 1 which include:
nr017: | 17m | @ 1.2g/t Au from 20m |
only | 15m | @ 2.3 g/t Au (including 7m @ 3.4g/t Au) from 15m |
nr018: | ||
mbrb021a: | 9m @ 1.2g/t Au (including 2m @ 11.4g/t Au) from 0m (surface) |
Historic drilling at the project indicated the presence of rare disseminated sulphides associated with zones of | ||
gold mineralisation. The presence of signifcant sulphides including pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite indicate that | ||
the project may be more fertile than previously thought and also prospective for base metals. | ||
