Orion Minerals (ASX:ORN) has released an update on its ongoing regional exploration program at the Rok Optel nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group element target, located on the Namaqua and Disawell prospecting rights in the Areachap Belt, South Africa.

Rok Optel is located ~80km north-west of the flagship Prieska zinc-copper project

As highlighted in the press release:

• 10m-thick zone of vein, stringer and massive sulphides hosted in magmatic breccia intersected from 397m to 407m down-hole in new diamond hole OROD003.
• Five stacked intrusive-hosted mineralized zones now identified in drilling at Rok Optel.
• New intercept can be correlated with recently drilled zones over a 1.25km strike extent of the intrusion, which remains open both to the north and south.
• Rok Optel is a focus point for repeated ultramafic intrusions with massive sulphide vein injections and therefore has excellent potential for the discovery of bulk massive sulphide mineralization.
