| ABSTRACT: | Western Australian base metals explorer Auris Minerals Limited (“Auris” or “the Company”) (ASX: AUR) is pleased to announce the commencement of the next phase of drilling at the Forrest and Wodger Copper Prospects in the Bryah Basin of Western Australia. Eight Reverse Circulation (RC) holes are planned to be drilled at Forrest and ten holes at Wodger Prospects respectively (for 2,170m and 2,330m totalling 4,500m). The aim of this programme is to prove geological and grade continuity within and between sections; and to confirm the dip and plunge of previously intersected mineralised zones, which currently remain open. Several zones of potentially high-grade copper mineralisation will be targeted. Target Generation, Geophysics and Aircore Drilling The near-surface geology of the Wodger Prospect has been interpreted from previous aircore drill logs and associated sample geochemistry. The best mineralisation at Wodger correlates with a lithological contact between high-Mg mafic volcanics and “mafic sediments” (both part of the prospective Narracoota Formation) and this is the focus of the current drilling proposal. The host sequence at Wodger is not folded. The geological interpretation at the Forrest Prospect is more limited because there has been less aircore drilling, but the prospect is considered lithologically similar to Wodger, although at Forrest there is evidence that the host sequence is folded. Gradient array induced polarisation (IP) surveys were recently completed at both prospects. These data clearly demonstrates structural offsets of the prospective contact. The along-strike extensions of this contact (to the northwest and southeast) need to be tested by further aircore drilling, which is currently planned for early 2019. The geological interpretations from drilling will be integrated with a detailed interpretation (at 1:10,000 scale) of all available geophysics to produce comprehensive surface geology maps of both prospects. | |
