| ABSTRACT: | Erris Resources plc, the European focused mineral exploration company with a portfolio of zinc and base metals projects in Ireland and gold projects in Sweden, is pleased to announce additional drill results from the ongoing surface diamond drilling programme at its 100% owned Abbeytown zinc project in County Sligo, Ireland. A surface diamond drilling programme is ongoing at the Abbeytown project, with work focussed on the area south of the old mine. The programme is designed to test strike and depth extensions of the mineralisation away from the old mine. The most recent holes, ERAB002, ERAB003 and ERAB004, are step-outs on the trend, north and south of the initial drill hole, ERAB001, and the defined strike length of mineralisation is 75m, to date. ERAB003 and ERAB002 are 400m south of the historic workings, and ERAB004 is 325m south of the mine. All three holes were drilled on azimuth 280 o , inclined at -60 o . Mineralisation remains open both to the north and to the southwest, and Erris Resources plans further step-out holes in both directions. ERAB002 was collared 50m south of ERAB001 and missed the target structure but the alteration showed that the hole is close to the main body. ERAB003 was moved 50m west from ERAB002 and intersected intense calcite-pyrite alteration from surface to the first presence of sphalerite at a depth of 91m. Below 91m, the drill hole intersected strong sulphide mineralisation in a dissolution breccia over 7m to a down-hole depth of 98m. The general trend of the mineralisation is observed to curve to the southwest from ERAB001. Stepping 25m to the north from ERAB001, ERAB004 encountered a broad zone of sphalerite mineralisation from 100m to 144m, with pervasive dolomitisation. Erris Resources believes this to be outboard of the high-grade zone. The Company previously announced results from its first hole, ERAB001, on 5 July 2018 showing results including 4m grading 10.85% Zn+Pb combined and 31.1g/t Ag from 163m to 167m. | |
