Multiple thick, high-grade polymetallic intersections up to 1.86% copper, 8.68% zinc, 1.91% lead, 56.10 g/t silver and 0.12 g/t gold (over 21m) has been returned from a phase-1 drilling program at C1.
Other drilling highlights include 8.9m at 0.92% copper and 8.75% zinc, 2.28% lead, 52.10g/t silver and 0.04g/t gold from 64m, as well as 2.28m at 1.17% copper, 15.30% zinc, 4.01% lead, 82.16g/t silver and 0.06g/t gold from 64m.
Alvo Minerals (ASX:ALV) says mineralisation to date has encountered significantly elevated levels of zinc, lead and silver compared to the existing JORC resource at C1, which sits at 1.80Mt at 0.8% copper, 3.2% zinc, 0.8% lead and 15g/t silver.
Interestingly, hole PD1-030 returned 8.9m at 0.92% copper and 8.75% zinc, 2.28% lead, 52.10g/t silver and 0.04g/t gold from 64m, demonstrating multiple high-grade intervals of massive and disseminated mineralisation that ‘bulks out’.
