CHINA Yunnan Copper Australia has commenced a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its northwest Queensland project areas of Cloncurry North and Mount Isa, located in the highly prospective Mount Isa Inlier.
The program drilled on untested geochemical, geophysical, geobotanical and geological copper anomalies in the area.
Cornerstone investor, Yunnan Copper Industry, is one of China’s largest copper producers and is targeting high quality copper, gold and uranium projects with eleven wholly owned Exploration Permits for Minerals (EPM’s) in the area.
Main Points of drilling program include 1,700 metres reverse circulation drilling program over two prospects as well as two high priority targets, Gem and Mount Colin West.
The company said the exploration is targeting iron oxide-copper-gold and shear-hosted copper deposits.
Ground magnetic surveys have already been completed focusing on granite-sediment contacts and known magnetic and soil copper anomalies.
