Arkle Resources plc’s joint venture (JV) partner is due to restart drilling at the Stonepark zinc and lead project in County Limerick, Ireland.
PROGRAMME
The JV, comprising six contiguous prospecting licences covering 184km2, is between Arkle (23.44%) and operator Group Eleven Resources Corp (76.56%).
Group Eleven has to date completed three of six planned holes for a total 2,300m.
Arkle said that the next drill hole would be on PL3367, approximately 12km southwest of the Stonepark deposit.
Following completion of the drill hole, Group Eleven will resume drilling on its 100% owned projects, after which it will complete the remaining two holes of the Stonepark programme.
All drilling at Stonepark is expected to complete by the end of 2022.
RESOURCE
The Stonepark deposit holds 5.3 million tonnes of 8.7% Zn and 2.6% Pb, or 11.15% Zn+Pb in the inferred category (NI43-101 compliant).
