Blackham Resources receives further positive drill results from Scaddan.

Blackham Resources has announced further positive drill results from drilling at its Scaddan and Grass Patch projects near Esperance, Western Australia confirming coal intercepts outside the existing resource model.

A recently completed air core and diamond drill program was aimed at upgrading the coal resource category within the mining pit area and test the coal seam extensions to the north of the deposit.

Results from the drilling have demonstrated the coal seams extend at least six kilometres north of the planned mining pit. The seam extensions remain open to the north with GPA 3 intercepting 13 metres of coal.

Earlier reported results from exploration holes in the coal inventory to the north of the pit area returned intersections larger than the average seam width.

Seam thickness through this region has been estimated to be in the range of 2‐8m from historical drilling.

“Drilling within the resource area continues to add confidence to the existing resource model,” Blackham said in an announcement.

“The current drilling program has confirmed the coal seams are thickest in the centre of the coal deposit.”

Blackham said that as all the drilling results from this current campaign have been received. a new resource statement is expected to be finalised within the next three to four weeks.
