Far Northern Resources reported the discovery of high-grade gold and base metals on the granted mining lease at the Empire Project in North Queensland.
Recent reconnaissance unearthed copper and gold rock chip samples, extending known mineralisation by 750m.
The discovery included assays of up to 12.64% Cu and 4.12g/t Au.
Far Northern Resources anticipates a future for this copper-gold project in a proven mining area, with plans for 5000m of drilling over two years.
