OZZ Resources Increases Leonora Tenement Holding

/in , /by

THE BOURSE WHISPERER: OZZ Resources (ASX: OZZ) has made a strategic acquisition in the form of a new tenement holding in the Leonora mining district of Western Australia.

OZZ Resources acquired two additional Exploration Licences covering an area of 63 square kilometres adjacent to the company’s recently acquired Pinnacle Well project, located 25km north of Leonora and immediately to the east of OZZ’s existing Mt Davis project.

The newly acquired area has had limited drilling since the early 2000s, despite the presence of a prospective greenstone belt and structural preparation from the district-scale Keith-Kilkenny Shear Zone.

Transported cover sitting over most of the tenement area has restricted historical exploration.

In addition to the gold potential that OZZ considers in play, the tenements lie on the same structures and lithologies as the Jaguar base metal deposits, located 25km to the north.

“Following our acquisition of the Pinnacle Well project in November, this acquisition further consolidates our land-holding in the world-class Leonora district, with the proximity of the tenements to our existing projects delivering significant synergies for our exploration efforts,” OZZ Resources managing director Jonathan Lea said in the compay’s ASX announcement.

“We are planning extensive drilling programs targeting both gold and base metal mineralisation across the Pinnacle Well consolidated ground package in 2022, with the new tenure expected to yield numerous drilling targets this year and beyond.”

OZZ Resources Acquires Prospective Leonora Tenements

/in , /by

THE BOURSE WHISPERER: OZZ Resources (ASX: OZZ) has acquired the Pinnacle Well project in the Leonora district of Western Australia.

OZZ Resources has entered a farm-in arrangement, under which it can earn a 75 per cent interest in the Pinnacle Well project by spending $750,000 on exploration over 2.5 years, followed by a Joint Venture.

The project covers an area of 95 square kilometres and is just 30km north of Leonora to the east of OZZ’s existing Mt Davis project.

The project area has had very limited drilling, despite the presence of a prospective greenstone belt.

Recent sampling and mapping have confirmed the presence of gold, base metal and molybdenum mineralisation in numerous locations across the Exploration Licence, which has recently been renewed for a five-year period and has no encumbrances.

“I am excited by the potential of the Pinnacle Well project, which has significant potential to host gold and base metal mineralisation,” OZZ Resources managing director Jonathan Lea said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“This acquisition, and the rapid start to our exploration efforts since listing, emphasises our commitment to our corporate strategy of focused assessment and improvement through portfolio regeneration.”

OZZ Resources Sets Early Running at Maguires Gold Project

/in , /by

THE CONFERENCE CALLER: OZZ Resources (ASX: OZZ) is shiney and new to the ASX, having just listed in July this year, bringing with it the intention of conducting an aggressive exploration program across its portfolio of projects.

The company is on the ground in the Central Murchison Region of Western Australia at the Maguires gold project.

Maguires includes three advanced prospects defined by previous drilling, with high-grade shoots contained in two shear zones.

OZZ recently completed a maiden 4,300m Reverse Circulation drilling program at Maguires, consisting of a 45-hole program targeting the Old Prospect, results from which determined two zones of mineralisation (Old Prospect North and South) which remain open along strike and at depth.

Best intercepts, included:

21MRRC003
14 metres at 2.66 grams per tonne gold from 45m;

21MRRC011
6m at 3.23g/t gold from 31m and 7m at 9.1g/t gold from 81m;

21MRRC032
7m at 4.5g/t gold from 46m;

21MRRC016
4m at 4.48g/t gold from 16m; and

21MRRC039
10m at 2.48g/t gold from 100m.

OZZ is now reviewing the results from the program, however given the encouraging results achieved the company considers there to be potential to extend the mineralisation in all directions, thus Stage 2 drilling will be planned.

The two known mineralized zones are approximately 200m apart and, within this untested gap zone, OZZ is looking for potential to identify additional mineralised shoots.

The only drilling to date in this zone is historic shallow RAB drilling.

“We are delighted with the success of our first drilling campaign, which marks a very bright start to our journey as a listed gold explorer,” OZZ Resources managing director Jonathan Lea said when reporting the results.

“The drilling was focused in and around the Old Prospect, which was last drilled by BHP and others in the 1980s and 1990s.

“The results have met or exceeded our expectations, returning some broad zones of strong, high-grade gold mineralisation including several standout intercepts such as 7m at 9.1g/t and 7m at 4.5g/t.

“Importantly, the mineralized intervals show correlation with the historic drilling, giving additional confidence that OZZ can advance rapidly towards resource definition following further drilling.

“The high-grade shoots represent a very attractive target for future drilling.

“In light of the success of this campaign, we are actively planning follow-up drilling to expand and increase the defined extent of the mineralisation at Maguires.

‘This next phase of work will also involve testing a parallel structure to the west which has had virtually no RC drilling.

“The data from that additional drilling should allow the calculation a maiden JORC Mineral Resource for Maguires, which could well become a strategic asset for the company given its location in the heart of a prolific mining district.”
