Rumble Resources (RTR) has received results from its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Camel Hump prospect.

Camel Hump is situated within the Braeside Project which lies in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia, 129 kilometres east of Marble Bar.

This maiden RC program discovered significant wide zones of copper oxide mineralisation with elevated zinc and lead mineralisation.

Eight RC holes, for 455 metres, were drilled with focus on outcropping malachite mineralisation.

Additionally, no previous drilling has been undertaken at Camel Hump, highlighting the impressive nature of these results.

Best results include 35 metres at 0.55 per cent copper from eight metres including eight metres at 1 per cent copper from 11 metres and five metres at 1.02 per cent copper from 36 metres.

Furthermore, up to 6.7g/t silver and 1200 parts per million copper were intersected.

Mineralisation is primarily oxide with dominant malachite, chalcocite and copper present.

Rumble has planned an airborne transient electromagnetic (TEM) survey to highlight potential conductors associated with the copper mineralisation.

This survey will be undertaken simultaneously with a survey over the Warroo Hill Member Synform structure at the Warroo Project.

In addition to Camel Hump, small workings to the southeast were tested with four RC holes drilled in an area known as Camel Hump South.

Results include one metre at 1.22 per cent copper, 2.06 per cent lead and 17.6g/t silver from 26 metres, and one metre at 0.91 per cent copper, 5.32 per cent lead and 0.65 per cent vanadium oxide from 20 metres.

Rumble has ended the day in the grey with shares trading at 12 cents in a $63.86 million market cap.
