Talonx Resources starts fieldwork at Kihabe Project
- Fieldwork has started at the 1,000km2 Kihabe Project to explore copper and base metal potential.
- The initial phase involves collecting over 700 soil samples across a 400-metre line spacing at the Gossan area.
- The exploration strategy targets mineralisation beyond known zinc-lead deposits towards sediment-hosted copper systems.
Talonx Resources (ASX:TXR) has commenced exploration fieldwork at its 1,000km2 Kihabe Project in northwest Botswana.
The programme follows up on historical copper intersections, including a past result of 7m at 1.04% copper from 71m.
“Historical copper intersections and the established Kihabe and Nxuu deposits provide a strong foundation for exploring the extensive areas beyond the known resources,” said Talonx Resources Executive Chairman Dr Steve Lennon.
Surface geochemical mapping and rock-chip sampling will systematically rank new drill targets across the broader target area.
The programme aims to expand resources beyond the existing 27 million tonnes of indicated and inferred mineral resources already defined at Kihabe and Nxuu.
Following the announcement, the Talonx Resources share price was unchanged at $0.006.
The company is focusing its early efforts on the Gossan prospect within a 20-kilometre northeast trending zinc-lead anomalous corridor.
Regional work targets underexplored extensions of the Damara Belt to locate higher-grade replacement mineralisation in structurally prepared dolomite.
