    Avanco Resources Limited (ASX:AVB) announced that results from infill drilling have significantly increased confidence in the Pedra Branca East Mineral Resource.

    Avanco Resources Limited (ASX:AVB) announced that results from infill drilling have significantly increased confidence in the Pedra Branca East Mineral Resource.
    As quoted in the press release:

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • The PB East Mineral Resource2 now stands at: 10.48mt at 2.8% copper and 0.7g/t gold
    • Greater than 70% reporting to the higher confidence Measured and Indicated categories
    • A maiden Measured and Indicated Resource2 of: 4.5mt at 2.8% copper and 0.7g/t gold for 129,000t of copper and 106,000oz of gold reported for the hangingwall high grade zone (“HW-HGZ”) at PB East3
    • The above is being targeted for pre-commercial development under the low-capex, accelerated, start-up strategy
    • The resource model highlights good continuity of the HW-HGZ, which averages approximately seven metres in thickness and affirms expectations of employing low cost underground mining methods
    • The updated resource model represents a key input for mine design and costing
    • Studies are well advanced evaluating the feasibility of an expandable 1,000t/day underground mining operation from the HW-HGZ
    • It is envisaged that initially ore will be transported to Antas for treatment facilitating a near term increment in Avanco’s copper production4
    • Management view a pre-commercial start-up as a prudent strategy in the current copper price environment. This approach keeps PB moving towards a near term development decision and can be readily expanded to a larger scale operation as market conditions improve
