BEIJING (Asian Metal) 13 Oct 21 - Australian-based Golden Deeps Limited announced that the first diamond drillhole of the 1,000m diamond drilling program at the Nosib Block prospect has intersected high-grade copper mineralisation, associated with lead and vanadium, from shallow depth.
Spot hand-held XRF readings were taken at approximately 0.5m intervals on the drill-core and produced readings averaging 6% copper within this zone with readings up to 12.5% Cu.
This current program is designed to define and extend the shallow, high-grade, copper-lead-vanadium zone announced previously, that produced high-grade intersections of copper, vanadium and lead from shallow depth, including NSBRC007: 24m @ 1.33% Cu, 4.77% Pb, 1.37% V2O5, 3.67g/t Ag from 3m.
Drilling is also planned to test down-plunge extensions of the Khusib Springs deposit, 15km east of Nosib, that previously produced a very high-grade 300,000 t @ 10% Cu, 584 g/t Ag3.
