Talon Metals Corp. (TSX:TLO) announced the results of its Trairao iron project in Para State, Brazil.
As quoted in the press release:
The diamond drilling successfully provided confirmatory drill core of the weathered rock mineralization (saprolite and saprock), which extends from surface to depths varying between 53.88 metres and 199.45 metres and the core samples have reported grades comparable to the samples of the earlier RC drilling, thereby confirming the results of the RC drilling. The diamond drill holes also intersected broad zones of iron mineralization in the underlying fresh rock BIFs with most grades ranging between approximately 20% Fe and 33% Fe. Underlying Target Areas 1 and 2, the unweathered BIF unit is apparently folded and duplicated, whereas on Target Area 3 there are two parallel BIF units underlying the weathered mineralized rocks.
Talons’ CEO, Henri Van Rooyen said:
These drilling results confirm the potential of the weathered rock on the main Trairão Ridge and we anticipated will add confidence to the mineral resource estimate for Target Areas 1, 2 and 3 on this eighteen kilometre long ridge. We are also encouraged by the drill intersections of considerable widths of fresh unweathered BIF in this area.
