Bellavista Resources (BVR) has commissioned a second rig to begin drilling at its Brumby zinc-silver-copper project in Western Australia.
A second rig was added following the completion of the first two holes with the first intersecting a zinc-silver-copper mineralised zone from 60 metres.
The core has now been sent for continuous portable x-ray fluorescent scanning and photographing prior to assaying.
The second hole, BRDD002, was drilled three kilometres west of the first with the core to be sent for assay this week.
Hole three, BRDD003, is positioned seven kilometres west of hole one and four kilometres from hole two.
The overall aim of this drilling program is to expand the known mineralisation footprint, which is believed to span over 30 square kilometres, and target areas where high-grade mineralisation exists.
“In light of these first two holes, we have moved quickly to secure a reverse circulation rig from our drilling partners Strike Drilling,” Executive Director Mick Wilson said.
“This will enable us to accelerate the drilling program with a series of holes to target mineralisation to a vertical depth of around 150 to 200 metres from surface. The reverse circulation drilling will enable more of that shallower target zone to be assessed.
“Our decision to expedite drilling reflects our belief in the strong potential and sheer scale of Brumby, our desire to expand the mineralised footprint and vector in on higher-grade areas as rapidly as possible.”
Bellavista has ended the day in the grey with shares trading at 25 cents.
