Drilling Results Received from Kasombo 5 Copper Project in DRC
Highlights:
- Drilling intersected unexpected cobalt mineralisation
- KSB002: 15 m @ 0.16% cobalt from 17 m
- Assay from cobalt-rich Kasombo 7 prospect due imminently
Fe Limited (Company) (ASX: FEL) is pleased to advise that it has recently received the assay from its second drillhole completed at the Kasombo Copper-Cobalt Project (Kasombo Project). The assay was from abandoned drillhole KSB002 located at the Kasombo 5 prospect. The drillhole was abandoned before the copper target zone was intersected because of driller error, but still intersected unexpected cobalt mineralisation.
The assays show drillhole KSB002 intersected a zone of low grade cobalt mineralisation, having a thickness of 15 m, averaging 1670 ppm cobalt from a hole depth of 17 m.
Preliminary reverse circulation (RC) drilling was completed at Kasombo 5 and Kasombo 7 in late December 2017 and early January 2018 (ASX announcement 8 January 2018):
- Kasombo 5: drilling targeted copper mineralisation mapped in the pit-wall of an open cut:
- two completed RC holes for 149 m;
- FEL described the copper-rich nature of Kasombo 5 from assays from first hole, KSB001, that returned 23 m @ 3.18% copper from 54 m (ASX announcement dated 16 February 2018);
- The assays from the second completed hole is awaited.
- two abandoned RC holes for 114 m;
- KSB002, the subject of this report, is one of these abandoned drillholes.
- Kasombo 7: drilling targeted cobalt mineralisation observed in bedding cross-cutting breccias and in conformable bedding layers exposed by small-scale artisanal workings. The assays for these holes are awaited.
The Kasombo Project comprises three mineralised areas of approximately 600 hectares, Kasombo 5, 6 and 7, located within two granted mining licenses PE481 and PE4886 and situated approximately 25 km from the DRC’s second largest city, Lubumbashi, in the Katanga Copper Belt.
Commenting on the exploration works, Chairman Tony Sage said; “I am pleased to see that the early results of the preliminary drill program continue to support our high hopes for this project.”
Yours faithfully
FE LIMITED
Tony Sage
Non-Executive Chairman
