Blackstone Minerals Limited reported the discovery of significant new sulfide mineralisation in a previously untested zone within the Ta Cuong prospect. Highlights from exploration at Ta Cuong include: The Taipan Discovery Zone (TDZ) was discovered by hole TC21-03 and features 39.70m of continuous disseminated sulfide (DSS), semi-massive sulfide vein (SMSV) and massive sulfide vein (MSV) unweathered mineralisation from 15.15m; The discovery was made in the first drill-hole of a previously untested zone within the Ta Cuong prospect, as a result of ongoing systematic testing of mapped Electro-magnetic (EM) conductors; Follow up drilling is being planned to test several proximal EM geophysics targets as well as the extent of the intensely mineralised TDZ; and Ta Cuong, and now the TDZ within it, has the potential to add significantly to Blackstone's massive sulfide mining inventory, providing further impetus for the restart of the company's existing 450kt concentrator. The company expects to provide an update regarding ongoing drilling at Ta Cuong, the anticipated King Snake assays, along with results from infill drilling at Ban Chang and Ban Phuc DSS over the coming weeks. TC21-03: Intersected 39.70m of sulfide mineralisation including DSS, SMSV and MSV. This interval was preceded by 9.27 meters of weakly weathered (limonitic) sulfide mineralisation (totalling 49 meters of continuous mineralisation from 5.88m).
