A new round of exploration drilling by Neometals has discovered significant high-grade vanadium mineralisation at the Virginia Hills prospect, directly west of and parallel to Neometals’ flagship Barrambie Titanium project in Western Australia.
Near surface intercepts include 6m grading 1.10%vanadium pentoxide from 53m and 5m @ 0.96% V2O5 from 23m. Drilling has now confirmed an 8km strike continuity for the vanadium-titanium mineralisation at the prospect.
The ore system drilled is interpreted as the western side of the folded Barrambie sequence that hosts the major mineralisation.
Neometals provided an update this week on its activities at the project, outlining the new exploratory results at Virginia Hills and intersections returned from close-spaced grade control drilling at the main Barrambie deposit.
The company is looking to establish the continuity, dimensions and tenor of the high-grade titanium-vanadium Barrambie ore body with its close spaced grade control drill program.
