- Drilling completed to date continues to confirm the extension of Murphy South 800-1,200m west of the nearest drill hole traverse (Stage V).
- On track to define a mineral resource estimate of considerable size and tonnage additional to the current 907Mt identified at Murphy South so far.
Progress to date
-----------------------------------------------------Hole Type Metres Completed Holes Completed -----------------------------------------------------RC (pre-collar) 2,936m 37 Holes-----------------------------------------------------Diamond (tail) 4,361m 13 Holes-----------------------------------------------------
The exploration target for Murphy South (western extension), across the 10 traverses designed for the Stage VI drilling programme, is 500-800Mt magnetite gneiss*.
The Stage VI drilling programme comprises 66 diamond drill holes for over 25,000m. Cross-sections will be presented as they are completed - traverses E and F are expected to be complete by the next update. The geology intersected in all traverses thus far is consistent with expectations and confirms the extension of the Murphy South orebody in a westerly direction.
