Special Report: White Cliff Minerals’ drilling has extended copper sulphide mineralisation at Danvers 1 to 521m downhole, or approximately 410m below surface, while two infill holes have recorded extensive sulphide intervals between Danvers 2 and 3.

Hole DAN26058, which is the deepest Danvers hole yet, logged 386m of cumulative visual copper sulphides, starting 13m downhole.

Intersecting multiple zones of chalcocite and bornite-bearing breccias extends copper sulphide mineralisation at Danvers 1 to depth, significantly enhancing upside

and supporting the potential down-plunge continuation of shallow, chalcocite-rich breccias.

The intersection of deep mineralisation achieves White Cliff Minerals’ (ASX:WCN) goal of testing Danvers 1’s depth potential while also collecting geological, structural and density data, plus samples for future metallurgical and comminution test work.

Adding further interest, shallower Danvers 1 drilling returned assays such as 63m grading 0.39% copper from a downhole depth of 21m in a new zone beside the main breccia.

Another hole, DAN26048, returned 25.14m at 0.69% copper from 203.36m, confirming mineralisation below historical drilling.

“Our drilling is addressing two important questions at Danvers: how far the mineralised system extends, and how its individual zones connect,” managing director Troy Whittaker said.
