Cooper Metals (ASX: CPM) digs deep at King Solomon

Cooper Metals Limited will rush the latest RC drilling samples, with planning for follow-up drilling a priority at the King Solomon copper-gold project, part of the Mt Isa East Copper-Gold Project in northwestern Queensland.

The 3663-metre, 27-hole campaign –focused on King Solomon’s 700-metre strike reached 208m below growing with an average downhole depth of 127m.

The Company has now completed a total of forty-eight holes for 5,1100.

Of the forty-eight drill holes, thirty-two of the drill holes were completed over King Solomon one, covering a strike length of approximately 710m.

Results

RC drilling has intersected the copper mineralized host shear zone, identified in the June 2022 maiden drilling program, where mineralization up to 17m @ 2.2% Cu from 84m including 8m @ 4.3% Cu from 84m (22MERC016) was intersected at King Solomon one.

The drilling program was expanded from the original plan of twenty holes for 2,000m to further test targets identified during an Induced Polarization (IP) survey in July2.

“RC drilling is completed for this campaign at King Solomon Cu-Au prospect, we have placed the samples on “rush” priority through the laboratory to allow us to interpret the latest results and plan any follow up drilling as quickly as possible,” Managing Director Ian Warland said.

Expanding the current program has allowed us to follow the host shear zone deeper and along strike. The bulk of the drilling was focussed on King Solomon one on a 700m strike extent and we look forward to receiving the assay results as soon as possible and updating the market accordingly.”

The Company’s ASX shares are 46c.
