Carpentaria Exploration Limited announced more positive results from the latest drilling at its project near Broken Hill. Completed in December 2016, the programme has been designed to support a resource upgrade expected shortly after final results are received, in addition to a planned new prefeasibility study for the project located just 60km from the Silver City. Drilling comprising 5,963m of 20 reverse circulation (RC) holes was completed prior to Christmas 2016, with preliminary results for 12 holes reported on 20 December 2016 and another four holes returned last week. The work programme carried out, together with results to date, has improved the potential for a resource upgrade as results are broadly in line with expectation, drill spacing has been tightened, Davis Tube analysis has been done on every interval and geophysics collected on 80% of the drilling, consistent with earlier drilling programmes. Additionally, new analytical data for another mineralised unit, Unit 1 were received. This has added a second intersection to that reported in December 2016, increasing the potential for the inclusion of additional mineralisation in a revised resource estimate and mine plan. The deposit is characterised by very thick mineralised units, with 14 from 16 holes returning intersections between 102m and 200m in thickness. The two exceptions included a hole abandoned before the target was reached and a QAQC hole that targeted a shorter intersection.
