Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: $RTR) has announced the discovery of high-grade tungsten from diamond core drilling at the Western Queen South deposit. The systematic pXRF analysis of drill hole WQDD013 led to ultraviolet scanning, highlighting very significant zones of scheelite. Wet analysis of the main visible scheelite zone has confirmed the discovery as very high-grade tungsten skarn style mineralisation. The discovery is considered an unexpected bonus from the recent drilling, targeting extensions to the high-grade gold lodes.
Peter Harold, Managing Director and CEO of Rumble Resources, expressed, 'The discovery of the very high-grade tungsten at Western Queen is an unexpected bonus for us from the recent drilling which was targeting extensions to the high-grade gold lodes. While it is very early days, the grades of the intersections are exceptional and well above the grades of other tungsten resources globally. We are now waiting with trepidation for the results from the 2021 drill pulps. This discovery shows the huge optionality of the Rumble tenements and the ability of our highly experienced exploration team to make new discoveries.'
