White Rock Minerals Ltd: Quarterly Activities Report - for the Quarter Ended 31 March 2018

30.04.2018  |  ABN Newswire
Ballarat, April 30, 2018 - White Rock Minerals Limited (ASX:WRM) provides the Company's Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2018.


Red Mountain Zinc VMS Project

During the Quarter the Company announced the execution of a number of important activities in preparation for the planned 2018 exploration field season at its 100% owned Red Mountain zinc - silver - lead - gold volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") Project in Alaska.

The proposed exploration program includes:

- A targeted diamond drilling program aimed at in-fill and expanding the current globally significant high-grade zinc VMS maiden Resource,

- On-ground orientation electromagnetic (EM) geophysics and geochemistry exploration across the two already identified deposits,

- The regional application of the best geophysics and geochemistry exploration tools determined from the on-ground orientation work, and

- A follow-up diamond drilling program on the best of the more than 30 already identified exploration targets.

The Company has successfully mobilised heavy equipment to site including a diamond drill rig and camp. All permits required for field activities have been granted. All major contracts have been executed or are in the final stages of preparation to ensure that all the key support services are ready for the start of the field season in late May.

MD & CEO Matt Gill said ""The Company is very excited about the potential for its globally significant high-grade Zinc VMS Project at Red Mountain, and the news flow that should come from a successful exploration program here.

Since acquiring the Red Mountain project in early 2016, we have expanded our strategic footprint 10-fold, to 143km2, and have also released a maiden Mineral Resource that immediately placed the Red Mountain Project in the top quartile of undeveloped high-grade VMS (zinc, silver, gold) deposits globally. Importantly, the two deposits identified within the Company's extensive land holding immediately placed the Red Mountain zinc project as one of the highest grade and more significant deposits of any zinc company listed on the ASX and an important VMS asset within a global context.

Our drill program for the 2018 summer field season aims to further build on our geological knowledge of the mineralisation, increase confidence in the Resource base, expand the already globally significant Resources at the existing deposits and discover new deposits.

We will, in parallel with the drilling program, also be conducting on-ground geophysics and geochemistry, testing many of the 30 already identified exploration targets developed from historic shallow EM and historic surface geochemistry, and explore the system for VMS related gold potential. We plan to drill the best of these regional targets towards the end of this drilling campaign."
