Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme - Progress Update
The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further update regarding progress of the second hole in the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger porphyry copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia.
Highlights
· Hole BRDD-21-002, the second hole of the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, is collared over 300m from the previous hole, angled at -80 degrees and is offset from strike with the aim of crossing through the down-plunge extension of the deposit at depth.
· Drilling has continued to a depth of 685m, passing through various rock alteration types as far as the current depth.
· Chalcopyrite copper mineralisation is observed through much of the lower part of the drill interval, accompanied by pyrite and pyrrhotite in the form of disseminations and fracture-fill. The hole is continuing.
