Azure Minerals Drilling Results Prepare for Andover MRE
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) reported assay results from the final 14 drill holes of the mineral resource drill-out of the Andover nickel-copper sulphide deposit on the company’s Andover project (60% Azure/40% Creasy Group), located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Azure Minerals has sent all the finalised results from the drilling to its consultants that are completing the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Andover, which is expected to be released in late March 2022.
Latest results included:
ANDD0112
3.7m at 2.73 per cent nickel, 0.42 per cent copper and 0.12 per cent cobalt from 258.1m downhole; and
ANDD0116
17.9m at 1.57 per cent nickel, 0.79 per cent copper and 0.08 per cent cobalt from 266.8m downhole, including 4.5m at 2.42 per cent nickel, 0.59 per cent copper and 0.11 per cent cobalt from 266.8m downhole; and 3.9m at 2.04 per cent nickel, 0.52 per cent copper and 0.11 per cent cobalt from 277.8m downhole.
“Azure is very pleased with results from the recent drilling, with infill drilling of the deposit confirming excellent continuity of mineralised widths and grades and extensional drilling indicating the mineralisation remains open for further expansion to the east, west and at depth,” the company said in its ASX announcement.
Azure indicated it would now shift its focus to exploring other targets where nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation has already been drilled, such as the Ridgeline, Seaview (formerly VC-23) and Skyline prospects.
