Significant Additional Zinc Intersections from Pernatty C
Melbourne, Dec 6, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Cohiba Minerals Limited (
ASX:CHK) (CHKMF:OTCMKTS) is pleased to announce significant zinc results from in-fill, follow-up assays for PSDDH01 at the Pernatty C project.
The drill program (conducted from December 2021 to March 2022) tested the Tapley Hill Formation for Zambian Copper Belt (ZCB) sediment hosted mineralisation, and to continue to drill to the Wallaroo Group basement for Copper Skarn or distal IOCG (Iron Ore Copper Gold) mineralisation. Geophysical magnetic and electrical conductivity anomalies were used to plan the drill holes (Figure 1*).
The original target of high temperature chalcopyrite vein and IOCG related alteration and/or mineralisation was not encountered but significant mineralisation and assay results were obtained from low temperature calcite - sphalerite veins with Zinc-Lead-Silver association. Detailed examination of the drill core resulted in the decision to submit additional samples for analysis.
Executive Director and CEO, Mr Andrew Graham said: "Given this set of very encouraging results we will continue to build our understanding of the geology and structure of this area with the intention of targeting further zinc-lead-silver mineralisation through a follow up program of work."
The assay results have been weighted based on the sample length, and all reported intervals are continuous sample lengths. No minimum assay cut-off has been applied and intervals quoted are down-hole widths - true widths are not currently able to be determined.
