Exciting Developments at Trigon Metals' Kombat Mine
Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) is thrilled to unveil the latest findings from the recent underground drilling operations conducted at Shaft 1 of the Kombat mine. These efforts are aimed at confirming and expanding on the mineralized zones previously identified, showcasing impressive intersections that signal robust mineralization potential.
Key Findings from the Drilling Campaign
The latest drilling activities were focused on several levels within the mine, particularly Levels 1, 3, and 4. The results from the exploration drilling have been encouraging, revealing substantial intersections of copper and silver that enhance the assessable mineral resource at the Kombat mine.
Highlights from Level 1
At a depth of just 45 metres from the surface, significant intersections were obtained:
- KWO-238: 12 metres at 2.27% Cu and 30.41 g/t Ag
- KWO-239: 8 metres at 10.44% Cu and 35.34 g/t Ag
Insights from Level 3
Moving on to Level 3, drilling at about 105 metres showcased:
- KWO-242: 3 metres at 6.81% Cu and 87.83 g/t Ag
- KWO-256: 5 metres at 1.40% Cu and 21.89 g/t Ag
- KWO-257: 6 metres at 1.40% Cu and 13.95 g/t Ag
Outcomes from Level 4
Finally, at 120 metres from surface at Level 4, the drilling results were:
- KWO04L-319: 6 metres at 2.15% Cu and 41.20 g/t Ag
- KWO04L-323: 5 metres at 3.08% Cu
- KWO04L-324: 9 metres at 1.94% Cu and 21.73 g/t Ag
The results from these drilling campaigns have not only expanded the known mineralization but have also contributed to the understanding of the mineable tonnage present at the Kombat site.
Strategic Importance of These Findings
The drilling at Shaft 1 has been fundamental in understanding the geological structure of the Kombat mine. Drilling holes KWO-238 and KWO-239 were particularly significant, targeting the eastern margin of the Sublevel 1.1 of the historic orebody, revealing high-grade intersections close to previous holes.
Further Development of the Project
Drillhole KWO-242 was pivotal in establishing the vertical extent of the orebody on Level 3. Additional holes KWO-256 and KWO-257 also verified the continuity of mineralization, indicating a promising zone of copper and silver mineralization.
