BBX Minerals Limited: Significant near surface platinum, iridium, and rhodium mineralisation - Assay Results – TED 016 and TED 017


 

BBX Minerals Limited (ASX: BBX) (“BBX” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assay results for diamond drill holes TED-016 and TED-017, from its 2020-21 drilling programme (Figure 1) at the Três Estados project (Figure 2). The holes were assayed for gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, and rhodium.

 

TED-016 returned significant iridium and local platinum results in the upper portion of the hole, with apparent enrichment at the base of oxidation. TED-017 showed consistent coincident platinum and highly significant rhodium results in the weathered portion of the hole.

 

Significant results include:

TED-016

  • 3.19m at 3.44 g/t 5E PGM[i] (2.56 g/t Pt,0.82 g/t Ir and 0.06 g/t Rh) from 14m, including:
    • 1.67m at 5.71 g/t 5E PGM (4.89 g/t Pt, 0.70 g/t Ir and 0.12 g/t Rh) from 14m
  • 10.0m at 1.18 g/t 5E PGM (0.77 g/t Pt and 0.42 g/t Ir) from 21m
  • 2.0m at 2.56 g/t 5E PGM (2.56 g/t Pt) from 87m

 

Significant iridium values were reported for this hole:

  • 9.0m at 0.73 g/t Ir from 12m
  • 8.0m at 0.68 g/t Ir from 25m

 

TED-017

  • 2.0m at 2.94 g/t 5E PGM (2.77 g/t Pt and 0.17 g/t Rh) from 2m
    • 4.0m at 1.98 g/t 5E PGM (1.84 g/t Pt and 0.14 g/t Rh) from 8m
    • 7.0m at 1.88 g/t 5E PGM (1.75 g/t Pt and 0.13 g/t Rh) from 16m, including:
      • 1.0m at 3.57 g/t 5E PGM (3.37 g/t Pt and 0.20 g/t Rh) from 20m

 

Refer to Appendix 1 for the complete results.
