Investigator Resources Limited (ASX:IVR) has announced the extension of sediment hosted copper intersection in the Stuart Shelf, South Australia. Additional assays received from previous drilling by Discover Co on Joint Venture tenements have revealed an extended intersection now reported as 11m @ 1.2% Cu from 59m in hole PE046, previously reported as 8m @ 1.06% Cu from 62m. Discover Co is advancing approvals for diamond drilling, soil sampling, and up to 6,000m of Reverse Circulation drilling to determine the scale extent of the Pernatty South Discovery.
Investigator's Managing Director, Andrew Mcllwain, expressed his satisfaction with Discover Co's results, stating, 'The additional assays reported by Discover Co from Hole PE046 extends the previously reported intersection length and encouragingly increases the average grade. We are keen to have Discover Co gain the necessary approvals to undertake their follow-up drilling program to test the scale of this discovery. Discover Co's primary focus in the Stuart Shelf is the discovery of Zambian Copper Belt style sediment hosted copper under shallow cover with a commitment to spend $4 million over 4 years within the Investigator Joint Venture tenements'.
