Legacy Minerals Begins Drilling at Emu Copper-Gold Target
- Diamond drilling has commenced at Emu Copper-Gold Prospect
- First modern drill test in 50 years targeting copper
- Two distinct targets identified: Emu Porphyry Core and Emu Alteration Halo SE
Legacy Minerals Holdings Ltd has initiated an 8-hole, 4,000m diamond drilling program at the Emu Copper-Gold Prospect, part of the Mt Carrington Project in northern NSW. This marks the first modern drill test of the Emu Porphyry Core and Emu Alteration Halo SE targets, which were identified through airborne Mobile MT geophysics. Copper is the primary target at Emu, with historical copper mining in the area. The drilling program is expected to be completed progressively over the next three months, with potential for follow-up drilling based on results. The Emu Prospect is one of three high-priority targets within the Mt Carrington Project, which has an existing Mineral Resource of 1.2Moz AuEq (115Moz AgEq).
The commencement of drilling at Emu is expected to provide valuable insights into the potential of the Emu Porphyry Core and Emu Alteration Halo SE targets, with potential to expand the existing Mt Carrington Mineral Resource.
