Lefroy Exploration Encounters Gold Copper Cobalt Intersection

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Lefroy Exploration (ASX: LEX) reported assay results from recent drilling undertaken at the company’s wholly-owned Eastern Lefroy gold project southeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Lefroy Exploration received the first assay results from a four-hole diamond drill program completed at the Burns gold-copper intrusion-related mineral system within the Eastern Lefroy project.

The company said the assay results from a 400 metres to 461m interval of 1245m deep, diamond drill hole, LEFD006, at Burns confirmed a new zone of gold-copper-cobalt mineralisation, providing further support for a polymetallic intrusion related system.

Within this 61m interval the drilling encountered a new mineralised and altered diorite porphyry, situated west of the main Central Porphyry suite at Burns.

This returned results that correspond to stronger zones of visually identified magnetite and sulphide mineralisation, and include:

19.6 metres at 0.33 grams per tonne gold and 0.75 per cent copper from 428m-447.6m, including 3.5m at 0.86g/t gold, 0.72 per cent copper and 0.09 per cent cobalt from 430m, and

6.3m at 0.47g/t gold, 1.7 per cent copper and 223ppm cobalt from 433.5m.

“Burns is a new and unique style of intrusion-related, gold-copper-molybdenum-silver mineral system,” Lefroy Exploration said in its ASX announcement.

“The gold, copper, silver (and lesser molybdenum) mineralisation, which is hosted by multiple diorite-porphyry intrusives and high-magnesium basalt, is considered by the company to be a new and unique style of gold-copper mineralisation in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.”
