Killi Resources Confirms Tanami Copper Sulphide Mineralisation

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Killi Resources (ASX: KLI) has confirmed magmatic copper mineralisation at the company’s West Tanami project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Killi Resources announced the results from a diamond drill hole completed at the West Tanami project, from which magmatic copper mineralisation in the form of the mineral chalcopyrite had been observed in drill core.

The company said assays had now confirmed the visuals with the zone of massive sulphides returning:

4.2 metres at 728ppm copper, 58ppm cobalt and 0.46 grams per tonne silver, including 0.6m at 2,730ppm copper, 114.5ppm cobalt and 1.23g/t silver.

The company has claimed this as the first confirmed record of copper mineralisation within mafics of the Tanami region.

“The discovery of a copper mineralised magmatic system in the Tanami is the first of its kind within the region,” Killi Resources CEO Kathryn Cutler said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“This result highlights the potential for magmatic sulphide systems at the project, which could host nickel-copper-cobalt deposits.

“Magmatic units within the Tanami region are particularly underexplored, with no recorded cases of copper mineralisation currently on file, until now.

“These rocks were formed in the Proterozoic period, with multiple nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposits in Western Australia of a similar age, such as Nova-Bollinger and Nebo-Babel.

“Mineral exploration at these truly remote greenfield projects leverages the company to unique opportunities, like this, which includes the discovery of a new commodity in a known province.”
