Rox Resources intersects massive sulphides with first Camelwood drill hole

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Rox Resources (ASX: RXL)  has intersected massive to semi-massive and disseminated sulphides with the first diamond hole drilled at the company’s Fisher East nickel sulphide project, located north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The first diamond drill hole at the Camelwood prospect was drilled and intersected six metres of sulphide mineralisation comprising 3.1 metres of massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation (from 282.8m to 285.9m) followed by 2.9 metres of strongly disseminated sulphide mineralisation (from 285.9 to 288.8m).

“This is a very positive and significant result,” Rox Resources managing director Ian Mulholland said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“To date we have drilled 7 RC holes and now one diamond hole at Camelwood with all hitting sulphide mineralisation.

“It confirms that the Camelwood discovery represents significant nickel-bearing sulphide mineralisation down to at least 300 metres vertical below surface and at least 500 metres along strike.

“This indicates a large body of mineralisation that is still open at depth and along strike.”

Rox said it anticipates laboratory analyses will be available in about four weeks once core logging and cutting are carried out.

Drilling is continuing at Fisher East with an RC drilling rig testing strike extensions to Camelwood and other EM anomalies in the area, and a diamond drilling rig testing an EM conductor and depth extensions at Camelwood.
