Bryah Resources (BYH) has begun a diamond drilling program at the Windalah Copper-Gold Prospect in Western Australia.
The Windalah Prospect is part of the company’s Bryah Basin Project which lies between 100 to 150 kilometres north of Meekatharra.
The diamond drilling will test along strike and beneath a broad sulphide-rich zone with elevated volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) pathfinder minerals.
Three diamond tails and two new holes will be drilled for over 1000 metres.
Once the holes have been drilled, they will be cased for follow-up downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying.
In April, Bryah completed an eight hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program that tested below a previously identified VMS anomaly.
Three of the holes intersected a broad dispersed to semi-massive sulphide zone with highly elevated antimony and arsenic, as well as weak copper and gold.
Bryah believes this zone is believed to be the source of the VMS pathfinder anomaly.
Managing Director Neil Marston commented on the drilling program.
“This is the first diamond drilling ever undertaken at Windalah, an area we believe holds significant potential for copper-gold mineralisation at depth,” Mr Marston said.
“We have observed highly elevated key pathfinder minerals within a broad sulphide-rich zone in earlier drilling.
“Bryah Resources plans to drill over 1000 metres of diamond core in the program testing this target zone and we look forward to seeing the results as they become available.”
Bryah closed down 1.92 per cent with shares trading at 5.1 cents on August 23.
