VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Central Iron Ore Limited (CIO – TSX.V) (“CIO” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce this Drilling Update.
Central Iron Ore is pleased to announce that the results for the 2024 Phase 1 RC drilling campaign have been finalised. Figure 1. The sun sets after the first day's drilling of the 2024 Phase 1 RC campaign at British King (M37/30) Highlights: Assay results for the 75-hole, 5 911-meter 2024 Phase 1 RC program has been received and processed.
Multiple significant intercepts exceeding has been intercepted across the target area (Table 1) some notable intercepts include; 24BKRC_004: 5m @ 20.52g/t from 110 meters 24BKRC_007: 3m @ 28.26g/t from 96 meters 24BKRC_010: 2m @ 24.
02g/t from 75 meters 24BKRC_015: 3m @ 35.61g/t from 58 meters 24BKRC_028: 7m @ 8.53g/t from 61 meters 24BKRC_017: 2m @ 2.
44g/t from 80 meters And: 1m @ 6.24g/t from 84 meters And: 2m @ 26.7g/t from 93 meters 24BKRC_028: 7m @ 8.
53g/t from 61 meters Commencing in late September, 321 metres of Diamond Drilling (6 drillholes) will twin selected RC drillholes the showed exceptional gold endowment. The diamond drillhole core will provide invaluable structural, mineralogical and metallurgical information The British King Mineral Resource is currently being updated to include the results of the recent drilling Drilling Results Interpretation of the RC drilling assay results has confirmed high grade gold mineralisation across the prospect area (Figure 3). A clear geological understanding of the ore body has been developed with gold mineralisation associated with a primary laminated bucky quartz lode with continuity for the entire 840m of strike targeted by the drilling campaign (Figure 3 to Figure 6).
Mineralisation is open down dip and along strike. Figure 2. Section plan for the 2024 Phase 1 and historical drilling Figure 3.
