Perth, Feb 20, 2008 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The Directors of Sultan Corporation Limited (SCC) are pleased to announce that the samples collected from Hole SJF002 (second hole to be drilled at the John Fardy deposit) have now been assayed. This hole returned a high grade intersection of:
4.4 metres at 8.39% Zn, 1.41% Cu, 0.47% Pb and 30 g/t Ag
from 292.6 metres down hole.
The significant intersection is contained within a broader intersection of: -
5.4 metres at 6.96% Zn, 1.23% Cu, 0.30% Pb and 24 g/t Ag
SJF002 is the second hole of Sultan's ongoing drilling programme at its wholly owned John Fardy zinc-copper-lead deposit near Crookwell in NSW.
The midpoint of the mineralization occurs at approximately 175 metres vertically below previously announced SJF001. This intersection confirmed the high grade tenor of the previously identified near-surface mineralization.
SJF001 intersected a zone of massive to semi-massive sulphides hosted by felsic volcanics and tuffs resulting in
4 metres at 18.61% Zn, 3.86% Pb, 1.04% Cu, 39.6 g/t Ag and 0.72 g/t Au
from 50-54 metres.
The significant intersection is contained within a broader intersection of: -
9.5 metres at 8.67% Zn, 1.75% Pb, 0.65% Cu and 21 g/t Ag
from 50 to 59.5 metres down hole.
Four drill holes, SJF001-004 have been completed for a total of 1185 meters and samples from SJF002, SJF003 and SJF004 are at the laboratory and results are awaited. These holes are part of an extended programme at John Fardy, Peelwood and Black Springs which will continue for several more months and will eventually total approximately 5000 meters.
Summary details for SJF001, SJF002, SJF003 and SJF004 are given in Table 1 below: -
