Plymouth Minerals receives first Morille drill results

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Plymouth Minerals (ASX: PLH) has taken receipt of the assay results from its first phase of drilling to be completed at the company’s Morille tungsten-tin project in Spain.

The company said it had completed a total of 3,982 metres, which was extended from an initially planned 3,500 metres in 61 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes.

Plymouth said it has been encouraged by the widespread identification of tungsten (scheelite) mineralisation in numerous drill holes throughout the project area having received results for the first 12 holes of the program.

The drilling targeted geophysical anomalies in and around the Alegria mine area, near mine extensions and to confirm geology of drilling carried out by previous owners (ADARO) in 1979.

The Alegria mine is one of the three areas tested within the ACMA prospect.

Highlights from the results received so far include:

(DDH M010)
6.25 metres at 0.29 per cent tungsten from 26.75 metres;

(DDH M002)
3.85m at 0.16 per cent tungsten from 17.4m;

(DDH M001)
1.45m at 0.95 per cent tungsten from 19.35m;

(MAC-RC-009)
5m at 0.24 per cent tungsten, including 2m at 0.42 per cent tungsten from 28m; and

(MAC-RC-007)
2m at 0.14 per cent tungsten from 23m.

Plymouth also conducted drilling at the Mundaca and Claudina areas within the ACMA prospect before carrying out further drilling on several areas within the Westside prospect.

All samples from the drilling program have now been despatched for analysis and results are expected to be finalised in four to five weeks.

Plymouth explained it is also conducting additional metallurgical test work, which will continue in tandem with the processing of the drill results.

“Plymouth is very encouraged by the results received to date from our first phase of drilling at the Morille project,” Plymouth Minerals managing director Adrian Byass said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“We are pleased that the tenor of mineralisation is consistent with the expected grades and that scheelite has been intersected in significant amounts of the drilling at all of the specific target locations tested, and is consistent with the project’s Exploration Target.”
