Medusa Mining encouraged by scout drilling results at Kamarangan copper anomaly
Drilling was focused on the western edge of a buried "fertile" diorite intrusive containing primary copper-molybdenum mineralisation.
Medusa noted that the centre of the prospect, an elliptical deep seated magnetic anomaly, had been tentatively interpreted as a possible "pencil" porphyry-style target.
Geoff Davis, Managing Director of Medusa, said the results were very encouraging:
"These initial results for copper, gold and molybdenum are very encouraging and confirm that the previously identified regional-scale features may be linked to a potentially major mineralised porphyry system. Further drilling will be conducted to follow-up these strong indications. The first two holes drilled last summer reported 11 metres at 0.50 g/t gold and 0.66% copper and 29 metres at 0.15% copper with 3.2 metres at 1.49g/t gold and, 0.52% copper whilst highlights from the more recent drilling include 16 metres at 0.43g/t gold and 0.59% copper, 24 metres at 0.64g/t gold and 0.12% copper and 2 metres at 7.21g/t gold."
