Sierra Nevada Gold Announces High-Grade Copper Results at As Safra, KSA
- High-grade copper intercepts confirmed from initial drill holes
- Mineralisation extends from surface to over 200m depth
- Significant polymetallic mineralisation identified, including silver
Sierra Nevada Gold Limited (ASX: SNX) has announced strong initial results from its drilling program at the As Safra Copper-Gold Project in Saudi Arabia. The results from the first four drill holes at the As Safra Central target area have returned significant copper intercepts, validating the Company's exploration model and confirming the presence of a continuous copper mineralised system. The intercepts include ASDD0002: 17m @ 1.26% Cu, ASDD0003: 16m @ 1.20% Cu, ASDD0001: 13m @ 0.93% Cu, and ASRCD0001: 16m @ 0.90% Cu. The mineralisation is now confirmed from surface to over 200m vertical depth and remains open along strike and down dip. The Company believes that only a small portion of the 5.5km mineralised corridor has been tested to date, with substantial exploration upside remaining. Phase 1 drilling is complete, with Phase 2 planning already underway to further test the mineralised system.
The Company believes that the initial results are highly encouraging and support the potential for As Safra to evolve into a significant copper discovery.
