MELBOURNE, Sept. 9, 2019 /CNW/ - Jervois Mining
Limited. (the "Company" or "Jervois") (ASX:JRV) (TSX-V: JRV) (OTC:
JRVMF) (FRA: IHS) is pleased to provide an update on its 2019
exploration at its Kilembe Area properties, and to confirm Board
approval of the Q4 2019 programme.
A detailed soil grid has now been completed to cover the Cu-Au
mineralization within the Kilembe area properties (2,265 soil and
441 rock chip samples).
The Cu-Au mineralization discovered within the Kilembe Area
exploration licenses, now has a strike length of over 1.7km along
parallel structures identified from ground geophysics and is open
to the SW and NE. Three mineralized Cu-Au showings have been
discovered (named Senator, Eagle and Bond). Highlights
include: Senator (28 rock chip samples with greater than 0.85 g/t
Au (up to 16.3 g/t Au, 7.8 % Cu and 1.06 g/t Au in soil) over a
strike length of 300m; Eagle (3
rock chip samples greater than 1.7 g/t Au (up to 18.15 g/t Au and
37.8 % Cu and 2.76 g/t Au in soil) over a strike length of
45m; Bond (10 rock chip samples with
greater than 0.75 g/t Au; up to 12.45 g/t Au and 7.1 % Cu).
From the rock chip sample results received, 43 samples contain
greater than 0.75 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au"), including 17
samples with greater than 5.03 g/t Au and 7 samples with greater
than 10.45 g/t Au (up to 18.15 g/t Au). As well, 25 rock chip
samples contain greater than 0.11 percent copper ("% Cu"),

Sampling
techniques
|
• Nature and quality of
sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
|
Sampling to date
includes 807 diamond drill samples (from 9 diamond core drill
holes); 17,798 soil samples; 2471 rock samples, 26 Heavy Mineral
Concentrates; 25 stream silt samples; 1258 trench samples (rock);
and, 379 trench samples (soil).
All drill core was
generally sampled on 1m intervals, contingent on geology and core
recovery:
Core was collected
directly from the core barrel into core boxes, and Core samples
were split in half, with the top half of the core analysed and
other half retained as reference core in the tray.
Core trays were clearly labelled with the
hole number, tray number and metre intervals marked. Bottom-of-hole
orientation line was marked prior to geological logging and
sampling.
Soil samples (B
Horizon) are collected using a pick and spade to dig small pits
which are filled back in after the sample is collected. The
samples are collected in 4x6' kraft bags and closed/sealed with a
zip tie. All sample information is recorded on hand-held
devices utilizing the Fulcrum App. ALS Sample tag books are
utilized for sample identifiers which are scanned and/or entered
manually. The sample identifier is written on the bag and a
tag is placed in the bag. Sample and site photos are recorded
at every site. Devices are downloaded daily are all
information is stored to the cloud.
Rock samples
(typically grab samples) are collected using a rock hammer.
The samples are selective and are not necessarily indicative of
mineralization. The samples are collected in 12x20 plastic
ore bags and closed/sealed with a zip tie. All sample
information is recorded on hand-held devices utilizing the Fulcrum
App. ALS Sample tag books are utilized for sample identifiers
which are scanned and/or entered manually. The sample
identifier is written on the bag and a tag is placed in the
bag. Sample and site photos are recorded at every site.
Devices are downloaded daily are all information is stored to the
cloud.
Samples were cut
along the orientation line before being correctly placed back into
the tray. The half-core was sampled, ensuring that the same side is
consistently sampled, and placed into sample bags labelled with the
assigned sample number. Orientation lines are determined
using a Reflex ACTIII orientation tool. Downhole measurements
are recorded using a Reflex EZ-Gyro Kit at multiple intervals down
each hole and always at the end of every hole.
Field sampling
followed Jervois protocols including industry standard quality
control procedures.
All samples were sent
to ALS Chemex South Africa (Pty) Ltd., an independent and fully
accredited laboratory in South Africa ("ALS") for analysis for gold
multi-element Induction Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy ("ICP").
Jervois also has a regimented Quality Assurance, Quality Control
("QA/QC") programme where at least 10% duplicates and blanks are
inserted into each sample shipment.
|
|
• Include reference to
measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
|
Sample
representativity is ensured by:
Diamond Core: For all
drilling
core was halved for sub‐sampling with a diamond saw.
Sample intervals range from 0.1 to 1 m in length, with majority of
samples assayed over 1 m intervals.
Rock grab samples
are by their nature selective and are not necessarily
indicative of the general geology of the property.
Handheld XRF
instruments were used to spot check rock grab and/or drill core for
mineralization, however those results were not relied on. All
sample results reported on are from ALS Chemex South Africa (Pty)
Ltd. Drill holes were lined with PVC piping and in most
holes, downhole Electromagnetics were completed after drilling was
complete.
|
|
• Aspects of the
determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where
'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
|
All of the drilling
was diamond drill core (HQ/NQ). Typically, drill core was
sampled on nominal 1m half core samples.
All sample analyses
were completed at ALS Chemex South Africa (Pty) Ltd. and/or ALS
Chemex Vancouver, Canada. ALS is a global independent
laboratory which is ISO accredited.
Samples are received
at the laboratory: Bar codes are scanned and logged; samples
are weighed and dried; samples are crushed and pulverized (-180
mesh soils; -75microns rocks) then riffle split; all samples are
analyzed for 35 elements using ICP-AES and gold using 30 gram fire
assay for soils and 50 gram Fire assay for rocks, both with an AA
finish. Any samples with over-limits specific to base metals
or gold are re-analyzed.
|
Drilling
techniques
|
• Drill type (eg core,
reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).
|
HQ casing/coring
within saprolite yet the majority of the core was NQ
Holes were generally
angled from 60 to 90 degrees at varying azimuths.
Reflex Orientation
tool was used for structural orientations, and depths varied
from 8.85m to 243m.
|
Drill sample
recovery
|
• Method of recording and
assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
• Whether a relationship
exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
|
All holes are teched
and all intervals are measured for recovery and RQD's are
calculated. Recovery % recorded in the geotechnical records
as equivalent to the length of core recovered, as a percentage of
the drill run.
Excellent recoveries
were obtained from Diamond drilling.
There is no bias
noted between sample recovery and grade. Excellent recoveries were
obtained from Diamond drilling.
|
Logging
|
• Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
• The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
|
Diamond drilling:
Drill core is
photographed and logged prior to sampling;
Core has been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail
appropriate to support mineral resource estimation and mining
studies.
Logging has been
conducted both qualitatively and quantitatively; full description
of lithologies, alteration and comments are noted, as well as
percentage estimates on veining and sulphides.
In total, 2027 m of
diamond drill core have been completed. All drill holes are
logged in their entirety.
|
Sub-sampling
techniques and sample preparation
|
• If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether
riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
• For all sample types, the
nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures
adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
• Measures taken to ensure
that the sampling is representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
|
Core was half-cut
lengthwise using a diamond saw along the
orientation line. The half-core was sampled, generally
on metre intervals.
Samples are received
at the laboratory: Bar codes are scanned and logged; samples
are weighed and dried; samples are crushed and pulverized (-75
microns rocks) then riffle split; all samples are analyzed
for 35 elements using ICP-AES and gold using 50 gram Fire assay
with an AA finish. Any samples with over-limits specific to
base metals or gold are
re-analyzed.
For core sampling the
same side is consistently sampled, half-core with the bottom of
hole line is retained in the tray. The assay sub- sample is placed
into sample bags labelled with the assigned sample
number.
One in 20 samples is
duplicated where the core is quartered and a quarter cut sample is
analysed as a duplicate. The remaining quarter samples is
retained in the tray.
Sample sizes of 2-3
kg are appropriate for the grain size of material. The sample
preparation technique and sample sizes are considered appropriate
to the material being sampled.
|
Quality of assay
data and laboratory tests
|
• The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
• For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used
in determining the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
• Nature of quality control
procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie
lack of bias) and precision have been established.
|
The ICP-AES and Fire
Assay (50 gram) are considered total and are high
quality.
Jervois has a
regimented Quality Control protocol which has consisted of
systematic submission of blanks and duplicates in addition to those
conducted at the laboratory.
Precision levels for
all blank and duplicate samples fell within acceptable
ranges.
|
Verification of
sampling and assaying
|
• The verification of
significant intersections by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
• The use of twinned
holes.
• Documentation of primary
data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to
assay data.
|
Since no significant
intersections have been reported, independent verification has not
yet been necessary.
No holes have been
twinned.
Data is collected
using a customized version of the Fulcrum app. The data is
backed up systematically on and off site as well as on the cloud.
As well, data is recorded using a master Microsoft Office Excel
spreadsheet and all location and assay data are compiled in a
Microsoft Office Access database.
All data below
detection limit have been entered as zero.
Samples received
damaged at the laboratory, or with insufficient sample weight for
analysis had the interval or location left blank, but in general
were re-sampled and/or re-collected (specific to soils and rock
grab samples).
|
Location of data
points
|
• Accuracy and quality of
surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid
system used.
• Quality and adequacy of
topographic control.
|
All collars were
surveyed by trained surveyors using a Leica Differential GPS.
Down-hole surveys were routinely carried out on all holes using a
Reflex EZ-Gyro Kit. Trenches and surface samples were
recorded using handheld GPS.
All datum is
collected and recorded in UTM WGS 1984.
The 3D location of
the individual samples is considered to be adequately established,
consistent with accepted industry standards.
|
Data spacing and
distribution
|
• Data spacing for reporting
of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing
and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing
has been applied.
|
To date, due to the
exploratory nature of the drilling, the spacing is highly
variable. Similarly, rock grab sample spacing is
random. Soil samples are collected in grids designed at
varying spacings from >350m to 25m spaced samples.
To date all exploration is exploratory and data spacing would not
be considered sufficient to establish a Mineral Resource or Ore
Reserve Estimation.
Not
applicable.
|
Orientation of
data in relation to geological structure
|
• Whether the orientation of
sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the deposit
type.
• If the relationship between
the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
|
Drilling sections are
orientated perpendicular to the strike of the
host rocks. Drill holes were inclined between 60° and
90° to optimize intercepts of mineralisation with respect to
thickness and distribution.
Drilling with angled
and vertical holes in most instances provides a representative
sample across the stratigraphy.
|
Sample
security
|
• The
measures taken to ensure sample security.
|
All individual
samples are bagged and sealed with a zip tie. Then individual
samples are bagged in poly woven sacks and sealed with coded
security seals. The laboratory reports all the security seals
numbers to Jervois and any problems with the samples. To
date, no sample shipments have had reported problems and/or a
breach in security.
|
Audits or
reviews
|
• The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
|
Jervois protocols
consist of a regimented internal QA/QC which match or exceed global
industry standards. Thus far, due to the exploratory nature
of the programme, no audits or external reviews have been
conducted.
