Perth, Oct 21, 2008 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Adamus Resources Limited (ASX:ADU)(CVE:ADU)(PINK:ARLTF) is pleased to announce further results from the deeper drilling at the Salman Central / South project area.
As with the previously reported initial results, these new results again confirm the excellent potential to significantly extend the known mineralisation to depths well below the current shallow 50 to 80 metres from surface.
This drilling was targeted at extending the base of mineralisation up to 50-100 metres below the current mineral resource. Results received to date successfully extend the known mineralisation.
A significant result of 20 metres @4.8g/t from 64m in hole SNRC885 on section 551550N at the southern end of the deposit indicates a substantial zone of mineralisation at depth below lower grade zone near-surface mineralisation. The intersection supports the structural theory that the current mineralisation plunges to the south and this hole has intersected that zone. This is further supported by an intersection of 16m@2.42g/t on the section 25m north which also intersected the same zone but closer to the surface.
More holes will be planned to infill this zone over the coming months. All of the sections under the current drilling and the majority of sections along the remainder of Salman South / Central remain open at depth.
Importantly, these deeper (yet still shallow), holes further confirm the results of the recent structural study of the Salman trend. As a result, it is predicted that the extension of mineralisation below the southern end of the trend may be repeated at the other 8 northern deposits spread along the 7 kilometre length of the Salman Trend.
Upon completion of the current phase of drilling the Salman Central / South mineral resource estimate will be updated to reflect the new results. A significant mineral resource increase is expected.
RC and diamond drilling results will be ongoing. In addition 11 diamond tails of RC pre-collar holes are still be drilled and assayed.
