BLACKTHORN Resources has reported some low-grade copper and gold drill results from the Mumbwa joint venture project in Zambia.
The Sydney-based junior explorer and its 40% Joint Venture partner BHP Billiton are targeting iron oxide copper/gold (IOCG)-style mineralisation at Mumbwa.

Better copper assays from the Kitumba anomaly included 2m grading 0.26% copper from 14m depth, 6m at 0.29% from 54m, 2m at 0.26% from 90m, 2m at 0.32% from 188m and 6m at 0.71% from 242m.
Better gold assays from the Mushingashi anomaly included 2m at 0.45 g/t gold from 495m, 4m at 0.27 g/t from 589m, 4m at 0.70 g/t from 611m, 2m at 0.62 g/t from 623m and 2m at 0.98 g/t from 649m.
