Xtract Resources Plc reported on independent laboratory assays for drill hole BRDD-021-016 and two further holes completed on the Phase 2 diamond drilling programme at the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project. Drillhole BRDD-021-016 was designed test the extension of mineralisation in the modelled Racecourse deposit towards the south and was drilled at an inclination of -70 degrees towards the east. Assay results have confirmed an overall interval of 142m grading at 0.21% CuEq from 170m downhole, at today's metal prices, and, within the larger interval, the copper values grade up to 14m at 0.39% CuEq from 250m downhole. A relatively broad zone of elevated gold was also intersected at depth, including a 40m downhole interval which graded 0.23g/t Au and included 8m at 0.66 g/t Au from 628m downhole. This zone occurs on the eastern side of the Central Racecourse mineralised porphyry body and has not been significantly drill tested to date. The area is proximal to an induced polarisation resistivity low anomaly and could signify that a second mineralised porphyry body is close by at depth. Further drilling to test this zone has been planned as part of the second stage of the Phase 2 drilling programme. Drill hole BRDD-21-026 was drilled at an inclination of -60 degrees towards the east and was completed at a final depth of 678.4m. The hole was drilled into the side of the Central porphyry body and it was designed to test the extension of the mineralisation at depth in the main central zone of the Racecourse porphyry deposit. Based on preliminary logging and subject to laboratory assays, visible chalcopyrite was first logged from 177m downhole, with a 282.5m downhole interval of variable strength copper mineralisation occurring from 367m downhole. Drill hole BRDD-021-027 was the second drillhole of the Phase 2 programme drilled with a westerly azimuth. The hole was designed to test the high-grade "crown" at the top of the Racecourse porphyry system and the along strike continuation of the Racecourse deposit further to the south. The hole was drilled at an inclination of -80 degrees and completed at a final depth of 580m. Based on preliminary logging and subject to laboratory assays a 371m down hole interval of variable strength visible copper mineralisation was intersected from 97m downhole. This is interpreted to extend the mineralisation drilled in hole BRDD-021-024 by 300m further to the southeast.
