Orion Gold NL announced that follow-up drilling has resumed at the Kantienpan Zinc-Copper Deposit in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa as newly received assay results confirm the discovery of a significant zone with high-grade zinc mineralisation. Drilling completed in December 2016 tested the modelled position of the KN1 Conductor, a strong and sizeable conductor detected in the company's high- powered ground electromagnetic (EM) survey in late 2016, with thick zones of disseminated and massive sulphides intersected. Significant results including: 2.05m at 9.93% Zn + 0.09% Cu from 404.87m (OKND016); 3.55m at 2.13% Zn + 0.35% Cu from 409.75m (OKND016); and 1.91m at 4.35% Zn + 0.32% Cu from 404.12m (OKND017). The significant intersections in OKND016 occur within a broader zone of mineralisation of 21.47m at 1.72% Zn + 0.24% Cu, which corresponds to an intrusive disrupted, massive sulphide-bearing zone intersected in the drilling. Down-hole EM surveys completed on both OKND016 and OKND017 enabled the model of the KN1 conductor to be refined. The survey indicates that the strongest response is located between, and slightly deeper (down-dip on the horizon) than the zone of massive and disseminated sulphides intersected in these holes.
