29Metals Limited (ASX: $29M) has released the results from a 3-hole drill program at Capricorn Copper, confirming the continuity and orientation of a new mineralised zone named 'Woolly'. The drilling results have been prepared and reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2012 Edition) (the 'JORC Code'). The results include high-grade copper mineralisation along strike outside of the existing Mammoth Mineral Resource estimates and build on the previous drilling program results from the March quarter of 2023.
These results highlight the potential value to be unlocked at Capricorn Copper and the prospectivity of 29Metals' ~1,900km2 Mount Isa inlier position. We plan to continue exploration investment in parallel with progressing imperatives for a sustainable and successful future restart of operations, aiming to build on a long history of successful step out drilling at the asset to grow and enhance the already sizable metal endowment at Capricorn Copper.
