Significant Drilling Results from Valencia Deposit
Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) is thrilled to announce promising results from its ongoing drilling program at the Valencia deposit, an integral component of the Norasa Uranium project. The latest efforts have focused on exploring both extensions and infill drilling, showcasing remarkable mineralization.
Since the previous report, the company has completed an additional 115 boreholes, totaling 11,739 meters. Among these, approximately 10,832 meters have yielded processed gamma survey results, confirming the presence of significant uranium intercepts.
The Valencia Main pit's drilling has revealed impressive infill grades and new mineralization, suggesting a favorable outlook for increasing ore tonnage and improving the stripping ratio within the modelled pit. The results indicate continued advancements in understanding the resource potential, providing a strong foundation for future growth.
Valencia West Drilling Updates
Exciting findings have emerged from the eastern section of drilling at the Valencia West target, intersecting notable uranium mineralization within the current pit shell. The results showcase about 250 horizontal meters of uranium mineralization, which remains open-ended at depth. Forsys' Country Director, Pine van Wyk, expressed optimism regarding the extension and exploration efforts, anticipating an updated resource estimate soon.
Key Highlights of Drilling Activities
- Valencia Main Drill Findings: The infill drilling aims to convert 26 million tonnes of indicated resources to measured status. Recent results include 407 ppm eU308 over a 53-meter interval from drillhole VA25-229.
- Results from Valencia South: Additional drilling tested previously reported high-grade intercepts, resulting in 338 ppm eU3O8 over a 13-meter interval.
- Valencia West Highlights: Drilling revealed 271 ppm eU3O8 over a 9-meter interval in drillhole VA25-288, showcasing new mineralization down dip and along strike.
Exploration at Valencia East and Jolie Zone
As part of the ongoing exploration strategy, Forsys has tested potential extensions at both the Valencia East and Jolie Zone areas. Drilling at Valencia East has produced recent highlights, showing 184 ppm eU3O8 over a 25-meter interval, indicating substantial progress in identifying additional resources outside the pit shell.
