    Orion: Massive Sulfide Stringer Veins Intersected at Rok Optel

    Scott Tibballs
    Oct. 24, 2018 08:46AM PST

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

    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.
