Strong Drill Results at Bygoo Tin Project
Sydney, July 13, 2015 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Thomson Resources Ltd (
ASX:TMZ) is pleased to announce drilling results from its Bygoo tin project near the Ardlethan tin mine, NSW. Ten RC holes for 1,060m were drilled to confirm historic drill intersections and extend the mineralisation along strike and at depth. A number of strong tin intersections were recorded as highlighted in Table A (see link below) providing encouragement that significant tin zones can be defined at the project.
Highlights:
- Nine of the ten holes intersected significant tin mineralisation
- Encouraging intercepts include 13m at 1.0% Sn from 66m; 18m at 0.8% Sn from 118m; and 5m at 1.3% Sn from 130m
- Greisen zone extended; open to south, east and down dip
- New greisen zone discovered in footwall of main zone
Intersections of 18m at 0.8% Sn from 118m (BNRC003) and 8m at 0.3% Sn from 80m (BNRC004) confirmed the wide tin bearing greisen zone seen in historic drilling (e.g. P326 - 46m at 0.6% Sn) extending east from the old shallow (<10m) pit (Figure 1, in link below).
Other strong tin intersections were recorded in five holes that tested deeper alteration and defined a new greisen position in the footwall of the main zone (Figure 2, in link below). The best results included 13m at 1.0% Sn from 66m (BNRC010), 5m at 1.3% Sn from 130m (BNRC004) and 7m at 0.3% Sn from 94m (BNRC002).
Thomson has interpreted geometry of the mineralised zones as a dome, elongated east-west with historic and new drilling intersecting tin mineralisation on both the northern and southern contacts. Mineralisation remains open to the east and down dip (Figure 2, in link below). Interpreted extensions of the mineralisation will be targeted in a second phase of drilling, currently being planned.
