Tertiary Minerals plc’s assays have returned “thick” intervals of silver mineralisation associated with “broader” intervals of copper and zinc mineralisation at the Mushima North project in Zambia.
ANOMALIES
In Autumn 2024 the company drilled 25 holes on three traverses at target A1, a copper-in-soil anomaly, and one at C1.
Results near surface at target A1 also show that mineralisation remained open along strike and at depth, with “many of the holes ending in mineralisation”.
Drill intersections include down hole widths of 57m at 25 g/t silver, 0.20% copper and 0.15% zinc from 14m downhole, including 26m at 36 g/t silver, 0.20% copper and 0.20% zinc from 45m downhole.
Tertiary said that combined results to date show that mineralisation extended at least 250m along drill line 1 and is associated with a silver-in-soil anomaly of 1.3 by 0.3km, which is coincidental with a broader 1.7 by 0.5km zinc-in-soil anomaly, and a kilometre-scale copper-in-soil anomaly.
Today’s published results follow those from 17 March of a wide intercept of silver mineralisation also associated with copper-zinc mineralisation.
Managing director Richard Belcher added that the company was only just starting to test the prospect.
“We are currently planning the next steps to more fully evaluate this prospect as well as
reviewing the nearby geochemical and geophysical targets in light of these results, to best
advance the project and realise shareholder value.”
