Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) has announced the completion of diamond drilling at Lode 200 within its 100%-owned Kempfield Silver Polymetallic Project in NSW. Argent Minerals is an ASX listed public company focused on the development of its flagship 100%-owned Kempfield Project in New South Wales, which hosts Australia’s second largest undeveloped silver deposit. The company remains focused on expanding the Kempfield project and advancing its gold and copper targets in the Lachlan Fold Belt.
The AKDD210 drillhole reached a total depth of 320.7 metres, successfully achieving the targeted depth. The drillhole was collared 120 metres along strike from AKDD208, which previously intersected extensive high-grade silver-base metal mineralisation from near-surface. The company anticipates that the results from AKDD210 will further define the mineralisation at Lode 200.
All drill samples from AKDD210 have been dispatched to ALS Laboratories in Orange and are being processed under priority status. Argent Minerals also announced that all metallurgical core from drillholes AKDD208 and AKDD209 has been received from Auralia Metallurgy. This core will be used to commence new Heap Leach and CIL/Flotation testwork aimed at optimising metal recovery processes.
Argent Minerals expressed its gratitude to Orange-based drilling contractor Chief Drilling Pty Ltd for the safe and successful completion of the diamond drilling program. The announcement was authorised for release by the Board of Argent Minerals Limited.
