| ABSTRACT: | Trek Metals Limited (“Trek” or “Company”) is delighted to present results for a further 10 drill holes from the recently completed drilling programme at its flagship Kroussou Zinc and Lead Project in Gabon (“Kroussou” or “Project”). Assays from the first ever drilling at Bouambo East returned results including 3.4m @ 1.2% Zn + Pb (BEDD003, from 11.6m) and 1.0m @ 1.3% Zn + Pb (BEDD002, from 14.0m) and the first ever Trek drilling in the Bimbone Channel included results of 8.2m @ 1.9% Zn + Pb incl. 2.8m @ 3.3% Zn + Pb (BIDD001, from 12.7m). New intersections from Bouambo South included 8.0m @ 2.4% Zn + Pb incl. 3.9m @ 3.2% Zn + Pb (BODD007, from 35.0m) and 2.1m @ 3.0% Zn + Pb (BODD003, from 24.7m). These latest results (Table 1), which are primarily from regional prospects, continue to highlight the enormous potential of this Project to host not just a single open‐pit deposit within the more advanced Dikaki Channel, but several very large‐scale mineralization centres at Niambokamba (Figure 1), Bouambo South (Figure 2), Bouambo East (Figure 3) and now at Bimbome (Figure 4). All of these prospects remain open and are underexplored. The mineralization in the regional channels tested to date is very similar to that within the Dikaki Channel, although it appears to be more zinc (sphalerite) dominated. This may be a function of bias with respect to historic sampling in Dikaki or may reflect changed chemical or physical conditions prior to mineralization. Fine to medium grained sphalerite +/‐ galena (zinc and lead sulphide respectively) is predominant in laminated to thickly bedded (up to metre scale) alternating siltstone to conglomeratic units. The disseminated mineralization is apparently replacing a carbonate rich matrix although further work is required to more fully understand its nature. Several samples have been submitted for petrographical analysis. Exploration drilling to date has largely been targeted simply on soil and rock chip anomalies in combination with geological mapping in areas that have been easily accessible. This simple approach to exploration continues to yield results that provide the Company with the confidence that truly globally significant Project will emerge at Kroussou. | |
