The Wainaleka Copper-Zinc Prospect (2)

Wainaleka is a copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide prospect situated in the central portion of SPL 1416. A diamond drilling  Location Map

 program carried out by Anglo American in the 1970’s intersected highly anomalous values including:-

  • 6 metres @ 1.75% copper, 12.0 zinc and 25g/t silver,
  • 10 metres @ 2.0% copper, 5.5% zinc and 47g/t silver,
  • 15.5 metres @ 1.4% copper, 1.3 % zinc and 5.0g/t silver.
  • The Anglo drilling results have shown the main mineralised zone is open at both ends and at depth.

Recent exploration by Aljen has included: –

  • Surface sampling; assay results from two samples were 2.7% copper and 19.9% zinc and 7.1% copper and 14.4% zinc.
  • Trenching returned an intersection of 5.5 metres @ 2.6% copper, 6.8% zinc and 212g/t silver.
  • A shallow diamond drilling intersection of 2.2 metres @ 1.9% copper, 11.8% zinc and 8.9 g/t silver.

Recent geophysical interpretative work indicated that the prospective horizon is extends over a strike length of 10 kms.
