Ventnor Resources Ltd. has completed the initial three-hole RC drilling program at its Silver Dragon and Fire Dragon prospects in the Biranup Project area, 370 kilometres north-east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, following up on two targets generated from the previous MLEM survey. Two Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) geophysical surveys were undertaken at the Silver Dragon and Fire Dragon prospects to target the RC drill holes in October this year. On the 8th November 2016, it was announced that drilling had commenced at Fire Dragon and Silver Dragon. The purpose of the drilling was to test the electromagnetic conductors generated by the recent ground MLEM survey; to ascertain the lithology of the basement rocks; and to allow for a Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) survey to be completed. The mineralisation that is being targeted is magmatic nickel-copper sulphide, similar in nature to IGO's Nova deposit in the Fraser Range. The Biranup project is also located in the Proterozoic Albany-Fraser Orogen approximately 350 kilometres northeast of the Nova deposit. In total three RC holes were completed, two at Fire Dragon, 264m and 240m, and one at Silver Dragon, 286m. Holes were inclined at -60o and orientated south west at Fire Dragon and south east at Silver Dragon. Drilling at Fire Dragon was hampered by 80m of flowing sands above the basement and the Silver Dragon hole was stopped short due to hard ground. At Fire Dragon, the ground MLEM survey resolved a strong aerial EM response indicative of a bedrock conductor. Two RC holes were drilled 80 metres apart, to test the strongest modelled response. The lithology that was intersected is a metamorphosed, medium grained mafic, with some layers of ultramafic and is believed to have some visual similarities to the upper parts of the Nova mafic intrusive. In general, the mafic layers were pervasively sulphidic, typically pyrrhotite, but in discrete layers, a significant increase in sulphides of up to 30% (by volume) over one metre, were noted with the presence of chalcopyrite being confirmed by handheld XRF. The drilling at Fire Dragon has several similarities to magmatic nickel copper deposit, such as IGO's Nova Bollinger deposit. It is believed that the drilling has only tested the upper layers of the possible mafic intrusion, but the visual identification of chalcopyrite is promising and it is hoped that the upcoming DHEM survey will assist with vectoring into wider accumulations of sulphides. Drilling to date has confirmed that Fire Dragon is within a sulphidised mineral system, reflecting sea floor black smoker domains which are highly prospective for VMS deposits. The drill target at Silver Dragon was more geochemical in nature with only a very weak EM response from the ground MLEM survey due to an IP effect in the surface cap. The drilling at Silver Dragon intersected mafic and ultramafic rocks, which contained pervasive pyrite and pyrrhotite. The rocks were generally strongly magnetic. Drill samples have been submitted to the laboratory for multi-element analysis including base metals, gold and platinum group elements. Assays are expected later in December. All three holes had PVC casing installed to allow for a follow-up DHEM program, this is planned to commence early December. It is expected that DHEM will vector the 3D location of conductors identified In addition to the DHEM survey, selected RC chips have been sent to A & A Crawford Geological consultants in Tasmania, who will undertake microscope analysis to assess whether the sulphides intersected are magmatic in origin.
