Deep-South Hires Ferrodrill to Drill the Haib Copper Project in the South of Namibia
October 12 2023 - 9:55AM
Deep-South Resources Inc. ("
Deep-South" or
“
the Company") (TSX-V: DSM)
announces that it has entered into an agreement with Ferrodrill
Namibia (Pty) Ltd in order to proceed with the drilling program on
the Haib Copper project in the south of Namibia. Ferrodrill is a
Namibian drilling contractor providing full drilling services since
2007 and has provided services to a large number companies from
exploration to major mining companies. The contract provides for
5,000 meters of diamond drilling. Drilling planning and preparation
is on track and we will inform our shareholders of the schedule and
complete program in due course.
The specific focus of the drilling campaign is
to drill the high-grade area of the deposit uncovered by Deep-South
in 2019. The program was planned to drill up to 10,000 meters in
the area. The first 5,000 meters were drilled in 2021. However, the
program had been suspended when the Ministry of Mines and Energy of
Namibia (the Ministry) has refused to renew the Exploration and
Prospecting Licence (EPL). This legal situation has been resolved
and the licence was renewed on July 7, 2023. Deep-South goal is to
complete the remaining 5,000 meters and then proceed with a new
resource estimation.
Previous drilling programmes point to the
presence of higher copper grade zones, probably associated with
near vertical structures (shears and faults) within the broader
mineralised areas of the project. The use of vertical drilling in
the past potentially missed those structures resulting in an
underestimation of the overall grade. Our drilling program is
focussing to redress this through the use of inclined holes to
identify and delineate these structures and test the association
with higher Cu grade zones. The results of the first 5,000 meters
drilled in 2021 seem to support this updated interpretation,
showing substantial intersections at Cu grades considered high for
Haib. Additionally, the presence of molydenum has been confirmed
with high Mo grades obtained in association with structures and
alterations.
