Alicanto Minerals Hits Visual Sulphides at Greater Falun Project
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Alicanto Minerals (ASX: AQI) reported visual zinc-copper-silver-lead in first drill hole at the Skyttgruvan-Naverberg target within the company’s Greater Falun project in Sweden.
Alicanto Minerals said drill hole GRO22-19 at the Skyttgruvan-Naverberg target intersected multiple zones of massive sulphide and semi-massive to disseminated sulphides over a 43 metres interval within the prospective limestone unit associated with an extensive skarn alteration.
The massive sulphide intersections consist of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite over discrete zones of mineralisation up to seven metres in width.
Native silver mineralisation has also been identified within the massive sulphide intervals.
Based on the visual mineralisation seen to date, a second diamond drillhole has commenced to target extensions of the mineralisation system.
“While still early days, to hit multiple zones of polymetallic massive sulphide in our first drill hole at one of our priority targets at the Greater Falun project is a great result,” Alicanto Minerals managing director Rob Sennitt said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“This result, along strike from the historic Falun Mine, builds on our thesis that the Greater Falun project is part of a major mineralised belt that forms part of a significant mining district in the region.
“We have already commenced a follow up hole to further identify the scope and extent of this discovery.”
