• Second drill hole is currently underway testing for high-grade zinc, copper, gold and molybdenum below WD22-01

Drill hole WD22-01 was designed to test the continuity of high-grade mineralisation in a key section of the historical West Desert deposit.

A total of 288m of zinc, copper, lead and molybdenite mineralisation has been visually identified in the drill core. The mineralisation is distributed through ten major intervals and provides a positive indication of the continuity of the historical resource and its development potential. The mineralisation shows visual similarities to that encountered in historical drill holes.

The drill hole has also intersected two new zones of mineralisation south of/underneath the Deep Zone and outside of the current resource.
