Caprice Resources Drills Encouraging Base Metals Hits at Northampton

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Caprice Resources (ASX: CRS) reported drilling results from the company’s Northampton polymetallic project, located in the Northampton Mineral Field of Western Australia.

Caprice Resources recently completed an 11 hole RC program at the Lady Sampson prospect, situated approximately 40 kilometres southeast of the Northampton project to test north-south oriented base metals mineralisation over approx. 750 metres of strike.

The company noted this was the first time that any drilling has been done in this area.

The first drill hole (23NHRC001) of this program encountered encouraging grades and widths of mineralisation from 39m down hole.

In addition, a second zone was intersected from 67m, with the hole finishing in mineralisation.

Results include:

23NHRC001
14 metres at 7.6 per cent lead, 1.1 per cent zinc and 3.1 grams per tonne silver from 39m, including 6m at 11.4 per cent lead, 1.7 per cent zinc and 4.4g/t silver from 40m; and

3m at 4.2 per cent lead, 2.2 per cent zinc and 4.6g/t silver from 67m to EOH.

“Given this is the first drilling in this area, we see these initial results as exceptional,” Caprice Resources managing director Andrew Muir said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The high grades and polymetallic nature, in addition to the presence of at least two zones, demonstrate the potential of the Lady Sampson prospect.

“Whilst we have only received the first hole to date, we recognise the significance of these results and will look to fast track follow up drilling at Lady Sampson.”
