Aruma Sources Restricted (ASX: AAJ) (Aruma or the Firm) is happy to announce high-grade copper assay outcomes from its preliminary floor sampling program on the Fiery Creek Copper Challenge within the Mt Isa copper belt, in northern Queensland.
Highlights
- Preliminary Floor Sampling Program returns a number of very high-grade copper assay outcomes at Fiery Creek Copper Challenge within the Mt Isa copper belt, Queensland
- Outcomes from the Piper prospect masking over 600m of strike embody; 11.83% Cu, 11.53% Cu, 9.95% Cu and 9.53% Cu
- Extremely encouraging antimony outcomes additionally returned together with; 10,883ppm Sb, 2,305ppm Sb and a couple of,035ppm Sb – together with high-grade silver assays as much as 31.3g/t Ag
- Historic exploration at Fiery Creek additionally returned very high-grade copper rock chip samples together with; 36% Cu, 25.4% Cu and 15.2% Cu (ASX announcement 30 July 2024)
- Knowledge generated from soil sampling so far signifies sturdy copper anomalism throughout the Fiery Creek Challenge, past the preliminary Piper and Fiery Creek targets
- The under-explored Fiery Creek Challenge shows geological options beneficial for copper deposits and is an exploration precedence for Aruma
- Subsequent steps: detailed floor gravity surveys to raised outline drill targets to begin this month adopted by an IP survey on the Piper prospect deliberate for October
The primary-phase sampling program offers preliminary affirmation of the Challenge’s exploration potential. Outcomes come from the precedence Piper prospect within the north-west of the Challenge space, and embody a number of very high-grade copper samples together with high-grade silver outcomes (Determine 1). Spotlight outcomes embody;
- 11.83% Cu, 17.7g/t Ag: AR28585
- 11.53% Cu, 18.8 g/t Ag and 0.3% Zn: AR28586
- 9.95% Cu, 31.3g/t Ag; AR28582
- 9.53% Cu: AR28580
- 4.02% Cu, 20.8g/t Ag: AR28584
- 2.10% Cu, 31.3g/t Ag: AR28581
The sampling program additionally returned encouraging antimony (Sb) outcomes together with; 10,883ppm Sb in AR28586, 2,305ppm Sb in AR28583 and a couple of,035ppm Sb in AR28585.
Aruma Sources managing director Glenn Grayson mentioned:“The a number of high-grade copper outcomes, together with the silver and antimony mineralisation returned on the Piper goal from our preliminary floor sampling program present early affirmation of the Fiery Creek Challenge’s exploration potential. These outcomes, along with historic exploration outcomes, assist present key base-line information for our subsequent section of subject work. Floor-based geophysical surveys are deliberate within the coming weeks, with the purpose of defining targets for a maiden drilling program. Additionally of great, wider significance is that the information generated from soil sampling so far signifies sturdy copper anomalism throughout the Fiery Creek Challenge, past the preliminary Piper and Fiery Creek targets.”
Determine 1: Geology map of the Piper Prospect on the Fiery Creek Challenge (GDA20 z54) displaying AAJ’s pattern outcomes plus historic drilling outcomes.
Pattern rocks from the Piper prospect (Figures 2, 3) spotlight the potential for copper mineralisation with supporting antimony, sliver and arsenic (As), with an outcropping cross-cutting quartz breccia mapped for 700m. The breccia is terminated by a tertiary creek system to the east. This is a wonderful instance of the prospectivity of Fiery Creek, and likewise underlines the necessity for applicable base information to assist interpret different potential structural traps for copper beneath cowl.
