Argent Minerals Limited Commences Drilling over New Drill Targets At Kempfield
(Red River Resources). The growing number of newly identified zones of the Kempfield deposit, along with the major deposit size and increasing lead, zinc, silver and gold grade trends, positions Kempfield with the significant potential to become a major provider of base and precious metals Mineralisation is hosted in stratiform and probably barite-rich horizons occurring in what appear to be a series of tight isoclinal folds. Silver, lead, zinc, gold and barite mineralisation is derived from submarine volcanic exhalations associated with the felsic volcanic activity. The geology and mineral assemblage are consistent with a distal facies of a volcanic-hosted base metals sulphide deposit (VHMS). Primary mineralogy comprises pyrite, chalcopyrite (copper), galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc), tetrahedrite (silver), native silver and pyrargyrite. Silver is present in tetrahedrite, native silver, pyrargyrite, argentite and galena. Seven (7) zones of barite/sulphide
The 2,500m RC drill programme is designed to increase the resource tonnage and grade within the main orebody and satellite.
