Thomson Resources has identified a high-grade copper sulphide target in hole KYDD001 during a review of previous exploration data. The copper mineralisation is located near the Kylo gold resource in the polymetallic central core zone at Mt Carrington. The target has been prioritised for follow up drilling as part of a broader resource extension drill program being developed to support Thomson's polymetallic New England Fold Belt Hub and Spoke (NEFBHS) strategy.

Rex Minerals Ltd. drilled diamond hole KYDD001 in February 2009 targeting a southwest dipping extension of the gold mineralisation at Kylo that is hosted by breccias on the contact between an intrusive andesitic rock and sediments. The hole failed to intersect any significant Kylo-style gold mineralisation but did intersect two broad zones of copper sulphide mineralisation. 18.65m at 5.8% Cu, 0.74% Zn, 0.1g/t Au from 52.35m and 10.1m at 7.26% Cu, 2.58% Zn, 0.12g/t Au from 88m.

The copper mineralisation comprises several weakly banded quartz veins with semi-massive pyrite- chalcopyrite hosted by chlorite-carbonate altered volcanic rocks. The mineralisation has a brecciated appearance, and the core is broken in places making the orientation of the veins difficult to determine precisely.
