Rox Resources drilling news continues good run at Camelwood

Rox Resources (ASX: RXL) has received further good news from drilling being carried out at the company’s Camelwood nickel sulphide prospect at Fisher East, located north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
 
Diamond drilling at Camelwood has returned results including:

–    1.2 metres at 5.2 per cent nickel of massive sulphide, including 0.7 metres at 7.8 per cent nickel from 388.7 metres;

–     1.8m at 2.8 per cent nickel of massive and semi-massive sulphide, including 0.3m at 4 per cent nickel from 350.5m of massive sulphide;

–    0.4m at 5.4 per cent nickel from 382m of massive sulphide, and 3.1m at 3.4 per cent nickel from 384.6m of massive and semi-massive sulphide;

–    1.3m at 2.6 per cent nickel of massive and semi-massive sulphide, including 0.6m at 3.8 per cent nickel from 317.7m of massive sulphide; and

–    17.1m at 0.47 per cent nickel from 197.3m of disseminated sulphides.
 
“The results we are receiving are demonstrating excellent prospects for economic grades and thicknesses at Camelwood,” Rox resources managing director Ian Mulholland sadi in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The massive sulphide portions of the system are consistently showing grades in the 4.5 to 5.5 per cent nickel range, with 7.8 per cent nickel the highest grade reported to date, while the strongly disseminated and semi-massive zones are showing grades between 2.5 and 3.5 per cent nickel.

“A much better picture of the distribution of nickel sulphide mineralisation is starting to emerge as we continue to drill more holes.”

Rox explained it is continuing with its diamond drilling program in order to test down dip extensions of the nickel sulphide mineralisation intersected by nearer surface drilling.

Testing of the deeper Camelwood North EM conductor located approximately 500m north of Camelwood is planned within the next three weeks.

Rox said it considers this conductor to be a down faulted offset from the main Camelwood EM conductor.

RC drilling is also ongoing, drilling a number of shallow 50m infill sections as well as continuing to define extensions to the north along the now 800m strike extent of Camelwood.
