Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to work we go

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Each week any number of junior exploration plays set out to drill their ground. Here’s a small selection of what’s been happening this week.

Drilling scheduled for Zanthus

Rumble Resources (ASX: RTR) has scheduled its maiden drilling program at the company’s Zanthus project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia where it is earning 75 per cent by way of a Joint Venture with Blackham Resources (ASX: BLK).

Rumble will drill a cluster of five bedrock conductors in and around an eye feature.

Rumble’s technical team has completed a plan for five RC holes for 1200 metres targeting a hole at each of five bedrock conductors, which it believes may represent magmatic massive nickel sulphides.

“Our systematic exploration approach has continued to tick all the boxes at the
Zanthus project,” Rumble Resources CEO Shane Sikora said.

“Rumble has identified five bedrock conductors surrounding and coincident with gravity dense zones in a magnetic signature very similar to the only known massive nickel sulphide discover in Nova Bollinger discovery.

“Rumble believes all these elements combined highlight these bedrock conductors represent some of the most compelling drill targets in the Fraser Range and we look forward to the commencement of drilling.”


Drilling Commences at Guitorga

Golden Rim Resources (ASX: GMR) has commenced a round of reverse circulation (RC) drilling within the Guitorga auger gold anomaly at Korongou in Burkina Faso.

The drilling is designed to follow-up new gold mineralised zones recently discovered in Hole BARC083 in the SW portion of the Guitorga anomaly.

BARC083 intersected two mineralised zones with 21 metres at 5.6 grams per tonne gold, including 8m at 11.8g/t gold (from 13m) followed by 12m at 1.1g/t gold (from 51m).

The gold mineralisation is open at depth and along strike.

As a priority, the follow-up drilling is planned to test beneath the gold intercept in BARC083 and along strike.

At this stage, the RC program will comprise 16 holes for a total of, 100m and is expected to be completed in approximately one month.
