Venus Metals Corporation Limited: Pincher Well Zinc RC Drilling Commences on Strong Anomalies
Perth - Venus Metals Corporation Ltd. (ASX:VMC) announces that Pincher Well Zinc-Copper Prospect phase 2 RC drilling commences on strong IP anomalies to the south of high grade zinc mineralisation.HIGHLIGHTS
- Phase 2 RC Drilling has commenced along two southern survey lines to test the recently discovered high chargeability IP anomalies at the Pincher Well Zinc-Copper Prospect (E57/1019) 600km north-northeast of Perth and 15km southwest of Youanmi Gold Mine in Western Australia.
- The recent IP surveying has confirmed the shallow 'up-dip' southern extensions of the North Dome high-grade zinc mineralisation (ASX release 27 April 2017).
- The chargeability recorded along line 6821500N is stronger than the previous IP survey results and the anomaly extends 400m to the south (see Figure 1 in the link below).
