Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: $CPM) has successfully completed follow-up RC drilling on four regional Cu-Au prospects at the Mt Isa East Project, namely Raven, Mafic Sweats North, Mafic Sweats South, and Yarraman. The drilling involved a total of 12 RC drill holes covering approximately 1,800m, with a focus on obtaining 523 one metre samples for laboratory analysis. This follow-up drilling aimed to test for extensions to Cu-Au mineralization previously intersected in 2023, particularly at Mafic Sweats South, and to investigate chargeability and geochemistry anomalies at Yarraman Cu-Au Prospect.
RC drilling was completed on all four prospects, totaling 12 RC holes covering around 1,800m. Over 500 one metre samples have been selected for laboratory assay based on the presence of anomalous copper in portable XRF and visual logging by a Company geologist. The Managing Director, Ian Warland, expressed satisfaction with the progress of the drilling and anticipates updating the market with the assay results once the data has been received and analyzed.
