Recently listed junior explorer Recharge Metals (ASX: REC) has commenced a two-stage drilling program at the Brandy Hill South copper-gold project in Western Australia’s Murchison region.
The first stage will comprise eight reverse circulation drillholes designed to test continuity of mineralisation, extensions along strike and to verify previous assay results from the historic development to a depth of 150 metres.
The second will test the down-dip extent of mineralisation to 250m and is scheduled to commence next month.
In total, the program will complete 21 holes for approximately 4000m (2000m in each stage).
Last week, Recharge announced it had secured Impact Drilling Services to complete the program using a slimline rig.
Murchison location
The Brandy Hill South project is located within the Archaean Gullewa greenstone belt in the Murchison province of the Yilgarn Craton.
The main structure is the Salt Creek Shear which trends north-south and deforms the belt on a regional scale.
Cross-cutting northeast and northwest faults are secondary, with Riedal structures occurring between parallel faults.
Managing director Brett Wallace said drilling would allow the company to target quartz‐sulphide, vein‐hosted, copper‐gold mineralisation.
Recharge re-listing
Recharge shares were re-listed on the ASX earlier this month following a takeover by global information management services company Iron Mountain Incorporated and a rebranding from Recall Holdings.
The company is focused on the historic Brandy Hill South project, which offers the potential to define a shear-hosted copper-gold deposit over a considerable strike length with further drilling.
Past intersections
Significant past intersections at Brandy Hill South were 75m at 0.55% copper finishing in mineralisation, including 23m at 1.29% copper, 3.4 grams per tonne silver and 300 parts per million wolfram (tungsten), within a highly-altered dolerite with quartz veining and abundant sulphides of massive pyrite and microcrystalline chalcopyrite stringers.
Other results were 12m at 1.10% copper, 14.9g/t silver and 0.22g/t gold including the intersection of a strong gold-copper-silver-platinum-palladium zone assaying 1m at 2.15g/t gold, 112g/t silver and 2.10% copper; and 16m at 0.48% copper including 3m at 1.47% copper, 8.7g/t silver and 445 ppm wolfram.
Recharge also owns the Hyden copper-nickel-cobalt project and the Bohemia copper-lead-zinc project, both in WA.
