Blaze Minerals Limited (ASX: BLZ) ('Blaze' or the 'Company'), is pleased to announce the finalisation of drilling at its Earaheedy Basin Project and the return of all laboratory analysis and compilation of the data. Previous results were based on portable XRF results in the field and all anomalous one metre samples have now been received from the Intertek Laboratory, compiled, and interpreted.

A total of twenty one holes for 2,979 metres have been drilled within E69/3815 on a wide spaced nominal drill pattern, targeting the prospective stratigraphy which hosts the adjacent Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR), Sweetwater, Chinook, Tonka and Navajoh discoveries, located on the unconformity contact zone between the Frere and Yelma formations, part of the Earaheedy Basin prospective stratigraphy. A number of anomalous results have been confirmed by the analysis with anomalous base metal results returned in mineralised bedrock in 9 out of the 21 holes drilled within the contact unconformity zone between the Frere and Yelma formations. Several of the holes which didn't intercept anomalous base metal results were terminated in clays or the overlying Frere formation prior to reaching target depth.

The drilling to date has been spread over approximately 10 kilometres with the prospective Yelma unconformity successfully intersected and tested over a 6 kilometre extent. Results have revealed a shallowly dipping (nominally 5 degrees to the north-northwest) sequence of the Yelma and Frere contact zone with intersections in all the holes reaching target depth. Based on the work completed to date the tenement target zone covers approximately 25 kilometres of prospective stratigraphy and drilling will now advance to the west northwest on nominal 1,000 metre sections following additional Heritage surveys, allowing an additional of 12 kilometres of strike to be tested.
