Heron Resources (ASX:HRR) has reported that a new regional exploration program targeting base-metals has commenced at its Woodlawn zinc-copper project, 250km southwest of Sydney, New South Wales.

The company said the program combines the latest geophysical techniques with drilling to look for significant large-scale volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) lenses close to the Woodlawn processing plant and facilities.

Managing director and CEO of Heron, Wayne Taylor said:

“Our regional exploration program is focused on the area around the Woodlawn mine that has excellent potential to host additional base metals deposits. We have started with modern geophysical techniques that can see deeper and with higher resolution that historical methods, to look at a number of areas of interest which were identified from historic data. A drilling crew has arrived to follow-up these initial targets.”
