GreenTech Metals Limited (ASX:GRE) Commences Whundo Copper Drill Campaign
Drilling Campaign Initiated
GreenTech Metals Limited (ASX:GRE) has commenced its approximately 4,000-metre stage 2 diamond core drilling program at the 100% owned Whundo Cu-Zn project located in the West Pilbara region. This follows a successful stage 1 drilling program of 1,710 metres, which indicated significant potential for resource expansion across the Whundo cluster of VMS style copper-zinc deposits.
The focus of the current drilling will be on down plunge conductor targets associated with mineralised shoots at key locations including Austin, Shelby, Yannery, and Ayshia. These identified targets could significantly enhance the existing resources at the Whundo project, currently measured at 6.19 million tonnes at 1.12% copper and 1.04% zinc.
Executive Insights
Tom Reddicliffe, Executive Director of GreenTech, expressed enthusiasm about the drilling campaign. He stated, “With a host of untested conductors associated with mineralised copper shoots identified at our Whundo VMS cluster project, we are excited to get the drill bit spinning.” He added that the program will include a combination of fixed loop electromagnetic surveying and additional down-hole electromagnetic surveys on selected holes, optimising future drilling efforts.
The initial drilling will pause over the Christmas period but is set to resume in early January. The results from current and ongoing electromagnetic surveys are expected to provide additional options for further drill targets.
