The company plans four reverse circulation percussion drill holes each to an average depth of 350 to 400 metres.
Tertiary said that two holes holes would test for skarn and porphyry copper mineralisation beneath an area of copper anomalous soils and trenches.
And two holes will test a coincident geophysical and geochemical anomaly for epithermal
gold-silver mineralisation.
Drilling began on 15 November and is expected to complete in early December with results due in early 2025.
Executive chairman Patrick Cheetham added: “With drilling already in progress at our Mukai and Konkola West projects in Zambia, and now at Brunton Pass in Nevada; and with drilling recently completed at Mushima North in Zambia,we are seeing a level of activity unparalleled in the company’s history and on a par with many much larger companies.”
