Firetail Resources Limited (ASX:FTL) has announced the commencement of drilling and geophysics activities at the Skyline Copper Project in Newfoundland, Canada. The company has mobilized contractor crews to initiate a high-impact 5,000m drilling program aimed at expanding on the modern drilling completed around the historic York Harbour Mine and nearby targets. The program seeks to increase confidence and continuity of mineralization along strike and down dip, both of which remain open.
We are excited to get exploration activities underway on the ground and in the air. The 5,000m we currently have planned this campaign will seek to highlight and expand the potential we see in this mineralized system, this in addition to the 20km of modern drilling completed on the project will help to set the foundations for future resource definition. It is quite unique for a project of this scale to not have already had an EM survey completed across the entire prospective strike. Traditionally VMS type mineralization has been targeted through use of a combination of ground and airborne EM systems in order to identify blind targets. The survey we have underway will be evaluating the full 16km of prospective geological strike with the aim of identifying previously unknown targets. The amazing technical team we have assembled on the ground in Newfoundland have been critical in driving this program forward and we are all excited to test the potential of this project. We look forward to a busy few months ahead sharing results from the drilling and geophysics programs with shareholders.
Firetail Resources Limited (ASX:FTL) has initiated a high-impact 5,000m drilling program at the Skyline Copper Project in Newfoundland, Canada. The program aims to expand on the modern drilling completed around the historic York Harbour Mine and nearby targets to increase confidence and continuity of mineralization along strike and down dip. The company is leveraging a tightly spaced airborne EM survey to define drill targets outside the known area of mineralization, covering the full 16km of prospective geological strike. The relogging and technical analysis of historic core is ongoing, with further sampling of mineralized core underway. With over 550 samples pending results, the company is optimistic about the potential of the project. Firetail Resources, with projects in Canada, Peru, and Australia, is well positioned to explore and develop its copper projects and become a significant contributor to the green energy revolution.
