Argent Minerals Limited announced to provide update to the gold-focussed drilling programme. Argent has received approval from the NSW Resources Regulator for further exploration drilling at the Company's Kempfield project and surrounding areas. Out of the 37 new holes approved by NSW. The company is currently planning to complete an initial programme of 7 holes (1,200 m) in two main areas on the western portion of the Kempfield deposit. The holes are prioritised as: A total of four diamond holes will be drilled in the potential feeder zone area, to the west of the main Kempfield Ag-Pb-Zn deposit. The drilling will test for the gold-copper rich feeder zone, including the recently confirmed Kempfield Copper Mine. A comprehensive search of NSW Government records has been conducted by Argent, successfully locating the current location of the original mining lease ML40 - in place from August 1899 until July 1909. The mining lease document and historical NSW Government Lands Department maps confirm the location of the Kempfield Copper Mine labelled on various maps as `Colossal Reef'. These maps also indicate that Colossal Reef was a historic gold mine located to the south west of the Kempfield Copper Mine. The confirmed location of the Kempfield Copper Mine is consistent with company’s previous reports of anomalous copper soil geochemistry in the area, rock samples near the mine shafts clearly displaying copper mineralisation, and other findings of the Company. Three diamond holes (approximately 800 metres) are planned to test the gold-copper footwall domain in the southwest area of the deposit where historical drilling yielded several high grade gold intersections in an approximately north-south trend including hole AKDD197, which yielded 10.2 m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 28 m. Other drilling in the southwest part of the deposit has yielded numerous high-grade gold intersections, including the spectacular AKDD181 results highlights: 1 m @ 1,065 g/t Au and 143 g/t Ag from 97 m, and 1.8 m @ 1.21% Cu, 2.99 g/t Au and 50 g/t Ag from 136 m. The three new holes are planned to test for potential strike continuity to the south and north of hole AKDD197.
