African Energy Resources Limited advised that a 3,000m program of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling has commenced at the Briggs porphyry copper deposit in SE Queensland. 12 new holes will be drilled to test several targets: 1. Drilling along the north-eastern edge of the inferred mineral resource to test for high-grade copper mineralisation in the immediately enclosing volcanic sediments. Drilling immediately to the north and south of the inferred mineral resource outline to test possible resource tonnage increases associated with copper anomalism identified in previously reported soil sampling programs. 3. Drill testing of the Northern Porphyry Target, where outcropping porphyry mineralisation is associated with copper in soil anomalism, and where a single drill hole intersected 65m @ 0.26% Cu from 28-93m, 90m @ 0.26% Cu from 111-201m and 57m @ 0.23% Cu from 209-266m. 4. Drill testing of the Southern Porphyry Target where copper in soil anomalism is associated with a single drill hole which intersected 84m @ 0.26% Cu from 26-110m. 5. The Northern and Southern Porphyry Targets lie outside the current inferred mineral resource. The Inferred Mineral Resource of 143Mt @ 0.29% Cu occurs in the Central Porphyry at Briggs, a porphyritic granodiorite stock with dimensions in excess of 500m x 200m and which has been drilled to a depth of over 500m. It is one of at least three intrusive centres which make up the Briggs prospect. Mineralisation occurs in stockworks of quartz veins containing quartz, chalcopyrite, minor molybdenite, potassium feldspars and locally anhydrite. Biotite alteration is also present in the immediately adjacent host rocks. Observation of drill core provides clear evidence that multiple intrusive phases and multiple mineralising events have occurred. Further drilling is required to better define these phases and to determine vectors towards higher grades and additional resource volume. Drilling to date indicates that the copper grades are associated with sub-vertical banded silica bodies at the contacts between different intrusive phases, or in the volcanic sediments immediately adjacent to the ranodiorite intrusions. Significant opportunity to increase average grades at the Central Porphyry is present once these positions are drilled to a higher density. The Northern and Southern Porphyry's occur along strike from the Central Porphyry and show evidence of porphyry vein stockworks and banded silica bodies at surface like those seen at the Central Porphyry, along with copper anomalism in soil sampling (Figure 3). Limited drilling at both prospects has intersected similar mineralisation at similar grades to the Central Porphyry and represent immediate targets for further drilling for resource delineation.
