Strike Resources’ (ASX: SRK) associate Cuervo Resources (CNSX: FE) has intersected massive magnetite mineralisation over at least 1,400 metres of strike at the Bob 1 target zone in the Cerro Ccopane iron ore project, Peru.

Peak results from drilling include:

-    127 metres at 54.1% iron from 83.1 metres;
-    84.6 metres at 33.8% iron from 25.7 metres; and
-    65.1 metres at 40.9% iron from 18.3 metres.

Strike added the mineralisation remains open in all directions and that an initial resource estimate is expected in late February 2013.

The Bob 1 magnetic and gravity target extends over a total strike length of about 3 kilometres with extensive outcrops of massive magnetite present along the bulk of the length of the target.

All drill holes completed to date have intersected zones of magnetite-rich rocks, with several intervals of massive magnetite interspersed with relatively narrow intervals of intermediate composition intrusives.

Strike has advanced Cuervo C$5.25 million (A$5.07 million) for the current (Stage 1) program and, in return, was granted warrants that can be converted into about 33% of Cuervo’s shares, on an undiluted basis.
