Energia Minerals Intersects Zinc Sulfide Mineralization at Gorno

Energia Minerals Ltd. (ASX:EMX) announced that the first exploration hole completed at its Northern Italy-based Gorno zinc project has intersected 8.25 meters of zinc sulfide mineralization from 9.2 to 17.45 meters. That includes 2.35 meters of semi-massive to massive zinc sulfides in a number of zones.
As quoted in the press release:

Assays from the hole will be available within three weeks.
GDD004 was drilled upwards at an angle of 45 degrees towards 306 degrees from the 995RL level and terminated at 21.4 metres in what is interpreted to be an old development drive within the Colonna Zorzone zinc deposit.
Three other diamond drill holes (GDD001–GDD003) have also been completed for geotechnical and mine planning purposes.
Drilling is continuing and results will be reported as they come to hand.

Kim Robinson, managing director of Energia, commented:

This is an exciting milestone for the Gorno Zinc Project in that it is providing the first confirmation for Energia that the historical results from the vast amount of drilling carried out by the ENI group, the former operator of the project, can be relied upon. There are in excess of 950 historical percussion drill holes and 140 diamond drill holes that have been digitised and interpreted by Energia’s geological team to date, providing an enormous and valuable database.
