Cornwall Resources Ltd (CRL) has progressed activities at its Redmoor project and started exploration on its new Tamar Valley licence.
PLANTATION VEIN
Relogging of 3,786m of historical core from six boreholes at Redmoor contains approximately 27% of the company’s existing drill core.
CRL will send a selected a total sample length of 177.45m from 129 diamond drill core samples for geochemical analysis, with results expected within two months.
Project manager Dennis Rowland said that the relogging and sampling project had potential for significant results.
“The pace of this project has increased with shipments of additional drill core samples expected at regular intervals in coming months.
“Following completion of this programme of works, both our understanding of the mineralised zones and the structural geology within the Redmoor deposit will have increased and the potential for resource(s) upside, prior to further drilling, would have been thoroughly assessed from the invaluable data generated by the works.”
On the Tamar Valley licence, the company’s regional exploration and desktop studies have located previously unidentified mineralised zones at surface.
Desktop studies focus on the historical tin-tungsten target of the Plantation vein, which 22 diamond drill holes established between 1967 and 1970. Minor underground exploration of the lode followed during the early 1970s.
CRL has also begun initial engagement with the Duchy of Cornwall’s tenants and local parish councils.
The company added it also plans extensive soil sampling and stream sediment sampling on targets generated during the Deep Digital Cornwall project and within the TVLA.
The studies will clarify historical data and generate baseline geochemical datasets to help delineate potential new targets.
CRL continues to evaluate and explore targets identified by Deep Digital Cornwall and also plans further soil sampling around identified targets.
