Battery Minerals (BAT) has defined a broad anomalous copper zone at its Stavely-Stawell Copper-Gold Project in Victoria.
Aircore drilling restarted in January, forming part of a 15,000-metre program to assess multiple targets for orogenic gold and porphyry copper-gold mineralisation.
The drilling program was designed to identify geochemical anomalism to enable a ranking of targets for follow-up bedrock drilling.
A total of 11,846 metres was completed, with assays now received from 9,951 metres of drilling.
Aircore drilling defined several zones of interest, including a 1,600-metre anomaly at the Nine Mile Prospect and a more than 800-metre gold anomaly at the Frying Pan Prospect.
Meanwhile, assay results have been returned following aircore drilling at the Kent Road prospect. Forty-four holes were drilled for 2,196 metres at an average depth of 50 metres.
Results included 3 metres at 688 parts per million (ppm) copper from 15 metres, identifying a broad low-level supergene blanket of copper anomalism.
Battery Minerals has more aircore drilling planned and will shift its focus to the Frying Pan, White Rabbit, Coxs Find, Cosmopolitan and Rutters Track Prospect.
