SQX Resources Limited announced that drilling has now commenced on the Scrub Paddock 2,500m RC and diamond drilling program. This follows SQX's successful listing on the ASX ~2 weeks earlier. The Scrub Paddock drill program is targeting known gold and copper mineralisation, which is currently defined by mineralised drill intercepts and a surface Au-As(-Cu) anomalism that extends across a 2km strike length.

Given the scale of this surface anomaly, and a geological setting that is potentially analogous to Cadia/Ridgeway, SQX is targeting a large gold/copper porphyry located ~130km from Brisbane.
