Further Silver Discovered Outside Kempfield MRE
- Broad, shallow silver mineralisation confirmed outside the existing Lode 100 MRE boundary
- Drillhole AKDD214 intersected 91.2m @ 39.5 g/t Ag from 8.3m, including 14.1m @ 60.2 g/t Ag and 29.1m @ 60.2 g/t Ag
- Mineralisation is open along strike and at depth, demonstrating clear potential for resource growth at Kempfield
Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) has further strengthened the scale, continuity and resource growth potential of its 100%-owned Kempfield Polymetallic Project in New South Wales following strong silver-rich drilling results from the Lode 100 MRE Zone. Drillhole AKDD214 has delivered two thick continuous zones of silver mineralisation with strong baseline grades of 39.5 g/t Ag and 60.2 g/t Ag, intersecting a total of 120.3m of silver mineralisation. The principal intercept of 91.2m @ 39.5 g/t Ag from 8.3m confirms substantial true-width potential within the Lode 100 position and supports strong vertical continuity of mineralisation from near surface. Importantly, the newly intersected silver mineralisation remains open both up-dip to the east and down-plunge/down-dip to the west, suggesting the current drilling has not yet constrained the full geometry of the system. The interpreted lens morphology and continuity beyond the existing section limits reinforce the potential for additional resource growth within the Lode 100 corridor. The long section for Kempfield Project Lode 100 highlights the strong continuity of shallow silver-dominant mineralisation over the established 1km strike extent, while importantly demonstrating clear growth potential beyond the current Mineral Resource Estimate limits. Drillhole AKDD214, positioned on the eastern margin and outside the existing resource wireframe, confirms that the mineralised envelope extends beyond the presently constrained MRE boundary. The shallow nature of the intercept, together with its location immediately along strike from the existing resource shell, supports the interpretation of continued lateral continuity of the Lode 100 system and provides strong geological justification for extending the current resource model eastward.
The ongoing drilling program is focused on extending these mineralised lodes and further defining the overall scale of the Kempfield system as the company continues to advance the project.
