Auroch Minerals Commences Czech Republic Drilling

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU has commenced an initial diamond drilling program at the company’s Tisová mine in the Czech Republic.

Auroch Minerals explained the drilling is to consist of four holes in Phase 1, based on previous work at Tisová, which has defined the position, size and scale of the project’s orebody.

Drilling of the four diamond drill holes is anticipated to take approximately six to seven weeks, after which the core will be cut and sampled onsite and then sent to ALS in Romania where they will be assayed for a multi-element suite by ICP-MS and precious metals by fire assay.

Auroch expects an assay turnaround time of approximately four weeks.

“The new 3D geology model, built from a database that includes over 30 kilometres of underground workings and more than 200 drill holes, has allowed us to better understand the upside in the size and scale of Tisová and plan our drilling accordingly,” Auroch Minerals CEO Dr Andrew Tunks said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The ore body is clearly significant in its potential and we look forward to drilling results and assay results over the coming few months.”

Auroch Minerals is primarily focusing on the exploration of metals crucial to the Renewable Energy Industry, specifically targeting cobalt and lithium, which are both used in the production of lithium-ion batteries and polymetallic metals.
