KML is preparing to recommence drilling at the Kitlanya East ('KIT-E') Project by the end of June, as
During the lockdown period, KML has taken the opportunity to re-model and interpret available data over the KIT-E property alongside the preliminary drilling results. Key findings from this assessment have refined follow-on drilling targets and shown there are many similarities with the geological setting of the neighbouring Sandfire Resources T3 and A4 deposits.
Whilst site work had to go on hold, KML has taken the opportunity to incorporate the preliminary drilling datasets into the geophysical, remote sensing and geochemical models, updating and fine tuning the target interpretation that shows strong geological similarities with the neighbouring Sandfire Resources deposits.'
KIT-E Project Interpretation
During the
Modelling of the preliminary drill results with the airborne electromagnetic ('AEM') and magnetic data favour the development of thrust bounded local synclinal structures in more ductile lower D'Kar Formation ('DKF') carbonates, mudstones and siltstones, overlying a broader anticline with more competent Ngwako Pan Formation ('NPF') sandstone dominant sequences in the fold core.
Follow-on drilling will target the margins of these structures with a view to intersecting mineralisation in a similar setting to neighbouring Sandfire Resources T3 and A4 copper deposits.
Detailed remote sensing interpretation along with a review of historical soil sampling has identified further non-conventional targets which may represent thrusted anticlines of prospective lower DKF rocks providing potential trap-sites for copper mineralisation.
The KML interpretation has highlighted the structural potential for the northern
