Thor Mining PLC (LON:THR)(ASX:THR) has received further assay results from the second metallurgical bulk sample drill hole at the company's wholly-owned Molyhil tungsten molybdenum deposit in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Core from the second of two diamond drill holes drilled down plunge of the Molyhil Yacht Club lode to obtain material for production of tungsten and molybdenum concentrate samples has now been assayed.
Among the highlights were 3.5 metres grading 1.32% tungsten trioxide (WO3), 10 metres at 0.32% copper, and 10 metres at 1.32% WO3.
The drilling also intersected molybdenum.
The holes were designed specifically for production of concentrate samples and will not contribute to the mineral resource estimate.
Following the results, Thor has commissioned RPMGlobal to assess the Molyhil mineral resource estimate for the inclusion of copper.
"It is very rewarding to have more high tenor bulk sample assay results at Molyhil and to have confirmation of extensive high-grade scheelite and molybdenum mineralisation," said Thor’s executive chairman Mick Billing.
"The continued confirmation of copper mineralisation at potentially economic levels is also very pleasing. Thor has commissioned a review of the resource estimate for Molyhil to include this, however until that work is complete, we can ascribe no additional value for any potential copper at this time."
