Discovery Metals' drilling at Plutus confirms continuity of ore

Shares in Discovery Metals held steady in early trading, masking the substantial progress the company reported this morning regarding infill drilling at the Plutus Prospect, which is part of the company’s flagship Boseto Copper Project in Botswana.

Today the company released drill hole date from 13 holes; all of the holes returned significant intercepts of copper-silver mineralisation. Highlights included 13 metres grading 2% copper and 20.4 grams per tonne silver from drill hole PSDD282.

Discovery stated that the results “generally exceed the average width of the existing Plutus interpretation” and that the infill drilling confirmed the continuity and robustness of the resource.  

The Plutus project is still open at depth and to the south-west. Discovery has already defined an inferred mineral resource of 14.5 million tonnes grading 1.3% copper and 13 grams per tonne silver using a cut-off of 0.6% copper.  The current drilling is part of a wider drill program to upgrade the resource as part of a Bankable Feasibility Study due for completion in the middle of 2009.

A updated mineral resource estimate for Plutus is anticipated to be completed in October.


Discovery Metals' MD, Brad Sampson said:


"Each new round of assay results from our drilling programme reinforces the
continuity of the mineralisation over extensive strike lengths at Boseto.  The increased data density we have obtained from this programme will allow better definition of the thicker and higher grade zones of mineralisation as well as progressing our understanding of the drill spacing required to upgrade the Inferred Mineral Resource categorisation on the existing resources, including the newly discovered Quirinus mineralisation."
