Discovery Metals
Discovery Metals intersects high grade copper
Discovery Metals, the copper and nickel exploration and development company focused on Botswana, released results from 17 of a 56 infill drilling program from the Zeta Prospect which is part of the Maun Copper Project.
Highlights impressed, with intercepts including 8 metres at 3.1% copper at 2.4 grams per tonne silver, 8 metres at 2.4% copper and 25 grams per tonne silver and 11 metres at 2% copper and 32 grams per tonne silver. The Company added that the drill results suggested the resource at Zeta was both thicker and higher grade in the centre of the deposit than previously indicated.
Discovery Metals' MD Jeremy Read commented:
"The results from the holes released today have exceeded our expectations as they have defined a higher grade zone in the centre of the Zeta Resource exceeding 2% Cu over a strike length of nearly a kilometre and at shallow depth. From this first batch of results from the Zeta Infill Drill Program we have recorded our best ever intersection at Zeta of 8m @ 3.1% Cu indicating that the closer spaced drilling is giving us much better definition of the higher grade areas within the Zeta Resource and we are looking forward to receiving further results from the infill drill program."
