Deep-South Has Mobilized Its Field Crew for Drilling on the Haib Copper Project in Southern Namibia
October 31 2023 - 7:30AM
Deep-South Resources Inc. ("
Deep-South" or
“
the Company") (TSX-V: DSM)
announces that it has mobilized its field crew to start the
drilling program on the Haib Copper project in the south of
Namibia. The Company expects that the first drill will be delivered
on site on or about November 10, 2023 and the second drill will
arrive on or about November 15th, 2023, as part of this proposed
drilling program
Pierre Leveille, President & CEO of
Deep-South states: "We are extremely encouraged by
the current situation. We are confident to deliver drill results
that will enhance an already robust project and unlock further
value for our shareholders. With the backdrop of a strong copper
price, we are highly optimistic for the coming months. We are well
on our way towards the development of the Haib Copper
project.”
The specific focus of the drilling campaign is
to further drill out the high-grade area of the deposit uncovered
by Deep-South in 2019. The original exploration 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 is now set to complete the remaining
5,000 meters of the proposed exploration program and then proceed
with a new resource estimation.
Previous drilling programs 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 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.
