BBX Minerals Limited: Continuous Mineralisation Open at Depth; Assay results - TED 003
BBX Minerals Limited (ASX:BBX) (“BBX” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assay results for diamond drill hole TED-003 (Figure 1), from its 2020-2021 drilling programme (Figure 2) at the Tabocal prospect, Três Estados project (Figure 3). Assays were conducted for gold, platinum, palladium, iridium and rhodium.
Platinum mineralisation was intersected over almost the entire length of the hole and a zone of continuous iridium mineralisation was reported from 40 m to the end of the hole at 55.02 m. The strong mineralisation encountered in TED-003, which remains open at depth, continues to enhance the potential of the Tabocal prospect, 2.5 km east of Adelar, the focus of the 2017 and 2020-21 drill programmes.
Significant results include:
TED 003
- 2m at 1.30 g/t 5E PGM[i] (1.30 g/t Pt) from 9m
- 17m at 1.32 g/t 5E PGM (0.04 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Pt, 0.02 g/t Ir and 0.03 g/t Rh) from 15m
- 2m at 1.39 g/t 5E PGM (1.39 g/t Pt) from 36m
- 1.5m at 1.77 g/t 5E PGM (1.24 g/t Pt and 0.53 g/t Ir) from 44m
- 6.02m at 0.93 g/t 5E PGM (0.30 g/t Pt and 0.63 g/t Ir) from 49m
Refer to Appendix 1 for the complete results.
