Flynn Gold (ASX:FG1) Ltd has identified several prospective tin and tungsten targets at its wholly-owned Cameron (NYSE:CAM) Tin Project in northeast Tasmania.

A review of previous sampling including a recently completed field reconnaissance program has confirmed the potential for tin-tungsten mineralisation within the region renowned for its historical tin mining and prospecting.

Results to date are considered encouraging confirming the potential for bedrock tin mineralisation in areas of historical alluvial mining with associated tungsten which was previously unrecognised in the area.

Priority target areas

Reconnaissance outcrop sampling by Flynn in the Hardens Ravine target area has returned assays up to a maximum of 0.96% tin and 2.3% tungsten from individual samples and defines an initial target area of up to 2 x 2 kilometres.

Outcrop sampling in the Star Hill target area has returned anomalous tin-tungsten results up to a maximum of 3.2% tin and 2.1% tungsten.

Additional target areas identified at Woods Flat, South Mount, Wyniford and Tallewang with further field mapping and sampling planned.

Flynn’s tin prospectivity review also identified open ground prospective for tin to the south of the Tallewang target area, and gold west and north of the Golden Ridge project.

The company has now secured this area known as Bendover Hill with a tenement application (EL16/2021) submitted covering 195 square kilometres between EL18/2018 in the north and EL17/2018 (Golden Ridge) in the south.

Forward plan

While the Cameron Tin Project remains a secondary focus behind Flynn’s gold focus, results of the review and recent field reconnaissance sampling are considered encouraging.

Encouragingly, the company remains positive regarding the potential tin opportunities in this underexplored region.

Future work on the Cameron Tin Project targets will follow a systematic exploration strategy including continued geological mapping, soil sampling, costeaning and possible scout drilling.
