Shallow copper mineralisation find for Rex Minerals at Yorke Peninsula, SA

REX Minerals has announced a discovery of shallow copper mineralisation at their Hillside copper-gold project on the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia.

The discovery was located more than 1 kilometre south of the main copper-gold results defined to date at Hillside.

Assays from six diamond drill holes, completed near HDD022 include a best result of 17m at 1.5% copper and 0.3g/t gold from a depth of 84m, including 7m at 3.2 % copper.

Drill hole HDD022 intersected 12m at 2.0% copper and 0.4g/t gold from 56m.

Rex's Managing Director Steven Olsen commented the latest results have confirmed the potential for shallow extensions to the large scale copper-gold mineralisation at Hillside.

Diamond drilling is continuing at Hillside, with the drill rig currently testing the extension of the Zanoni mineralised zone 100m to the north of HDD018.
