Energia hits zinc mineralisation in first Gorno hole

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Energia Minerals (ASX: EMX) has completed its first exploration diamond drill hole, GDD004, at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Gorno zinc project in northern Italy.

Energia said the drillhole had intersected 8.25 metres of zinc sulphide mineralisation from 9.2m to 17.45m, including a total of 2.35m of semi-massive to massive zinc sulphides in several zones.

The company anticipates to receive assays from the hole will be available within three weeks.

“This is an exciting milestone for the Gorno zinc project in that it is providing the first confirmation for Energia that the historical results from the vast amount of drilling carried out by the ENI group, the former operator of the project, can be relied upon,” Energia Minerals managing director Kim Robinson said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“There are in excess of 950 historical percussion drill holes and 140 diamond drill holes that have been digitised and interpreted by Energia’s geological team to date, providing an enormous and valuable database.”
