Tertiary Minerals says additional silver assay results from drilling at the Mushima North Project in Zambia have revealed thick intervals of silver mineralisation associated with broader intervals of copper and zinc mineralisation, near the surface at Target A1.
It said the mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, with many holes ending in mineralisation.
"These results, along with previously announced results, confirm the thick intervals of silver mineralisation commonly associated with zinc and/or copper at Target A1, including 26 g/t silver over 66m from 13m downhole,” said Tertiary managing director Richard Belcher.
“With only a small section of the soil geochemical anomaly tested and many of the holes ending in mineralisation, including 73 g/t Ag over 5 m at the end of hole 24TMNAC-005, we are only just starting to test this exciting prospect.”
He said the company is currently planning the next steps to fully evaluate this prospect as well as reviewing the nearby geochemical and geophysical targets.
The Mushima North Copper Project (Licence 27068-HQ-LEL) is held through group company Copernicus Minerals, which is 90% owned by Tertiary Minerals and 10% by local partner, Mwashia Resources.
