Metals of Africa identifies new Rio Mazoe targets

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Metals of Africa (ASX: MTA) has identified three new high-priority base metals targets at the company’s Rio Mazoe project, in the Tete province of Mozambique.

The company said it had identified the three new targets using a combination of interpretation of geological, geochemical and geophysical datasets plus detailed geological mapping, at the Changara JV project, within the wider Rio Mazoe project area.

MTA describe the targets as follows:

Cassidy Shea prospect: A large zinc-copper target with spot high grades up to 11.9 per cent copper and 5.1 per cent zinc.

Rhodonite Hill prospect: Outcrops of Broken Hill type alteration over a two kilometre strike length and grades up to 14.4 per cent lead at surface.

Downeaster prospect: 1.4 kilometre long copper anomaly in soils with elevated lead and zinc and spot high grades up to 28.7 per cent zinc.

“The positive results from the company’s continued exploration efforts to define these targets has provided MTA with further strong belief in the potential for discovery of a major zinc-copper-lead deposit within the project area,” Metals of Africa said in its ASX announcement.

“Prospects are shallow drill worthy targets and further exploration will be conducted to define drill targets.

“Drilling is planned to commence by October 2014.”
