Ventnor Resources – Initial RC Program on Copper-Nickel Anomalies Completed

  • 6 December

Ventnor Resources (ASX: VRX) has completed an initial three hole RC drilling program at its Silver Dragon and Fire Dragon prospects in the Biranup Project, 370km north-east of Kalgoorlie in WA, following up previous MLEM survey targets. Managing Director Bruce Maluish said the program had been successful in intersecting sulphides, confirmed to be copper sulphide, chalcopyrite. Multi-element assays are pending and RC chips are being tested to confirm magmatic sulphide targets similar to Nova Bollinger.


HIGHLIGHTS

Drilling at two targets intersects:

  • Up to 30% sulphides including copper sulphides

  • Encouraging geology for magmatic sulphide deposits 

Ventnor Resources Ltd (Ventnor) (ASX: VRX) has completed the initial three-hole RC drilling program at its Silver Dragon and Fire Dragon prospects in the Biranup Project area, 370 kilometres north-east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, following up on two targets generated from the previous MLEM survey.

Two Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) geophysical surveys were undertaken at the Silver Dragon and Fire Dragon prospects to target the RC drill holes in October this year.

Managing Director Bruce Maluish said: “This initial program has been successful in intersecting sulphides which have been confirmed as the copper sulphide, chalcopyrite. Multi-element assays are pending and RC chips are being tested to confirm magmatic sulphide targets similar to Nova Bollinger.”

“The three holes have been cased to allow Down Hole EM surveys to be conducted later this month,” Mr Maluish said.
