We spoke with Bill Brodie Good, Technical Director of Alien Metals today about the recent company updates, Completion of programs at Hamersley Projects.
The Company’s technical team has successfully completed the follow-up detailed geological mapping and sampling programme at the Company’s Hamersley Iron Ore Projects.
Highlights :
– Detailed geological mapping and sampling completed over four of the five priority prospects targeted as part of the site visit
o Field observations indicate that the BHP 19 and BHP 20 prospects may be part of same larger system
o Additional prospective iron ore units mapped at the Brockman Iron project
– Programme has been successful in validating previously announced Maiden Exploration Targets across both projects
– 95 samples were taken across the projects, with assay results expected late October 2020
– Final results from sample assays and detailed mapping to assist with preparation of maiden drilling campaign
Chief Executive Officer, Bill Brodie Good said : “The findings from the recently completed field programme are extremely pleasing and further validate the Company’s exploration targets. The field work has expanded upon the previous site visit, with the validation of recent research and the potential increase in projected DSO mineralisation within both tenements. It should be noted that the field team advised how busy both areas were in terms of neighbouring companies working in the region which further encourages us to push on with both projects.
“The Company’s technical team is compiling and finalising the geological mapping across the Hamersley projects which will give us valuable information ahead of maiden drilling programmes. With over 90 samples collected from only 4 prospects in a few days we are very encouraged and look forward to some excellent analytical results to complement the visible interpretations made by the team. We are already considering the follow up program to cover the 5th target not reached yet which in itself still has great potential.”
