Thomson Resources (ASX:TMZ) is gearing up for a third phase of drilling at its Bygoo tin project near Ardlethan in New South Wales.

The program will be up to eight holes over 800 metres, with results expected by mid-April.

Results will be highly anticipated, as the original phases of drilling delivered some bumper results including: 35 metres at 2.1% tin from 44 metres.

This was one of the best tin intersections seen in Australia for decades.

The results to date have resulted in considerable changes to Thomson’s original
model.

A recent geophysical survey (ultra deep ground-penetrating radar) has supported a new interpretation of three or more steeply dipping greisen veins and the drilling is designed to confirm the new model.


Background


The Ardlethan mineralisation has been described as “porphyry style cassiterite-sulfide deposits”.

In contrast, the Bygoo North mineralisation appears to be of a vein or fracture-controlled greisen style.
