Altona’s program highlighted copper mineralization along with gold, silver and cobalt.

As quoted in the press release:

Altona Mining’s 2017 exploration drilling program, which was shallow and reconnaissance in nature, tested several significant copper-in-soil anomalies at the Companion, Veiled and Quamby prospects. These prospects add to an emerging cluster of copper-gold discoveries located 30km south of the company’s proposed Eva Copper Mine.
