Celsius Resources Ltd’s (ASX:CLA) shares are trading 13% higher intra-day at $0.13 after receiving some of the best cobalt results seen to date at its Opuwo Cobalt Project in Namibia.

Highlights from the latest batch of assays received from the recently completed drilling program include:

- 17 metres at 0.14% cobalt and 0.42% copper;
- 10 metres at 0.12% cobalt and 0.59% copper and 4 metres at 0.13% cobalt and 0.55% copper (same hole); and
- 7.7 metres at 0.11% cobalt and 0.52% copper.

The results are highly encouraging as Celsius close in on reporting its maiden resource.

A diamond drill rig has remained on site at Opuwo, and has commenced drilling to the west of the resource definition drilling that was completed in late 2017.

Three diamond drill holes have so far been completed in this area, all intersecting Dolomite Ore Formation (DOF) mineralisation.

Furthermore, the company’s geophysical contractor has completed downhole electromagnetic surveys at the project, with data currently being modelled and interpreted.
