Right dumps -50% on Pilot gold-copper results it’s still saying are ‘highly encouraging’

Right Resources (ASX:RRE) has opened Thursday morning some -50% weaker in market value, despite telling shareholders it’s “highly encouraged” by the results it has hauled in at the undrilled Pilot Project in New South Wales.

All that’s well and good for Right to flag, of course, but – it’s a “duster, by all accounts,” according to HotCopper users already looking to get out.

You, dear reader, be the judge, with these results: The first hole reached a total depth of 699.4 metres, intersecting a primary porphyry storkwork target at 338 metres and returning 42 metres at 0.2g/t gold. Drilling also identified the “Western Target Zone,” a new corridor of quartz-sulphide veins.

Beyond that, Right pointed out hole two, drilled as a 220-metre step-out to the south to test system continuity, saw an extension of the primary target, a second Western Target Zone intersection, and the rediscovery of unrecorded 19th-century workings. All this was from visual logging, not testing.

It’s all interesting, to be sure, but the Oz market didn’t like things at all. By 10:30am Sydney time, just half-an-hour post-open, Right had plummeted to 17cps – a dive that wiped as much as $15 million from its market cap.

Right’s bosses stay positive, though, saying they’re “highly encouraged.”

“These first drill results at Pilot… represent a genuine greenfields discovery of a large-scale mineralised system,” managing director Graham Howard said.

“The two holes show strong geological similarities to the shallow, early-stage drilling at major porphyry systems such as Cadia Ridgeway and Boda, with a side-by-side comparison included in this announcement.”

At time of writing, RRE is sitting at 17c/ea.
