Caprice Resources Drilling at Northampton

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Caprice Resources (ASX: CRS) has commenced drilling at the company’s Northampton polymetallic project, located in the Northampton Mineral Field of Western Australia.

Caprice Resources has kicked off a RC drilling program on the Lady Sampson target.

This is the first RC drilling at the project by Caprice since 2020, which it carried out close to the Wheal Fortune Mine near the town of Northampton, returning outstanding results of 31 metres at 1.1 per cent copper, 2 per cent lead and 9 grams per tonne silver, including 3m at 3.8 per cent copper, 3.8 per cent lead and 3g/t silver.

The company explained the new program will test north-south oriented base metals mineralisation on the historical Lady Sampson workings.

The hole locations have been guided by historical costeaning, which identified copper and lead rich zones.

“We are very excited to finally be testing Lady Sampson following delays in permitting,” Caprice Resources managing director Andrew Muir said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“This will be a major milestone as this part of the Northampton project has never been drilled before, even though there is evidence of historical base metals mineralisation.”
