Discovery Metals expands Plutus Copper Prospect
Discovery Metals (AIM: DME, ASX & BSE: DML) announced results from thirty nine, infill and resource extension, drill holes in the Plutus prospect at the company's 100% owned Boseto copper project in north west Botswana.
Highlights included, 6.9 metres at 2.7 % copper (Cu) and 20.6 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag), 4.3 metres at 2.7 % Cu and 28.2 g/t Ag, 9.6 metres at1.9 % Cu and 22.5 g/t Ag - including 3.6 metres at 4.3 %Cu and 56.8 g/t Ag. Infill drilling was completed to 200 metre sections along strike. Two drill holes confirmed the continuity of Plutus mineralisation to the south west of the existing mineral resource. High grade intercepts reported outside the existing Plutus planned pit shell. These results will be incorporated into a bankable feasibility study scheduled for completion mid 2009.
Brad Sampson, Discovery Metals' MD, commented:
"These latest drill results are very exciting as they demonstrate the continuity of mineralisation, and tenor of grade within the Plutus prospect. We have now completed drilling across the existing Plutus resource area at a drill hole section spacing averaging 200m and are now well positioned to complete a new, higher quality, resource model, with more closely spaced data covering a longer strike length than the previous 2007 resource model."
