Announcement summary: | Bellavista Resources Limited (ASX: BVR) is pleased to announce strong results from the first phase of drilling and regional rock chip sampling at its Brumby zinc-silver-copper project 130km south-west of Newman. This initial batch of assays enables the Company to calibrate the constant XRF data collected by Minalyze™ for the phase 1 diamond drilling. This sub-1m constant XRF data is proving very important in illustrating the variation in zinc and copper grades at the decimetre scale (10cm), when compared to the 50cm to 1m assay intervals from the laboratory. Identifying SEDEX “cycles” of high-grade base metals within the broader mineralised interval is considered a significant breakthrough for understanding the large-scale Brumby Prospect. Bellavista Executive Director Mick Wilson said the results provided strong evidence that Brumby hosted a mineralised system of immense magnitude. “These results show there is strong potential for a large SEDEX-style zinc-copper discovery at Brumby,” Mr Wilson said. “We have intersections of 10-30m at grades up to 2.4 % ZnEq¹. This SEDEX-style of mineralisation has been intersected across the 30sqkm target area. “We have also established that there are localised zones of very high-grade mineralisation grading up to 5.8% zinc and 3.3% copper in sub-metre intervals. “In addition, assays on rock chips samples taken in an area east of this drilling have returned grades up to 2.6 % copper and 54 g/t silver. “We are awaiting laboratory assays on the remaining four diamond holes on the SEDEX-style mineralisation from phase 1 drilling and phase 2 drilling, including scout RC holes in the area from where the rock chips were collected.” |
