ASX:ZGMTargeting Porphyry-style Deposits
The Anthony molybdenum deposit, discovered by Zamia, is a typical porphyry system -
High level porphyry & breccia intrusions
Stockwork vein mineralisation
Large tonnage
Characteristic alteration patterns
A large geochemical halo
The Anthony discovery demonstrates regional prospectivity for large porphyry- style deposits
Anthony drill core showing characteristic sulphide stockwork veining in an altered porphyry intrusionPorphyry deposits, even when buried to depths of hundreds of metres, make excellent mining targets -
Large size
Can be bulk mined by block caving
Simple mineralogy & processing
