Carnaby Resource’s new discovery is located at the company’s Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project in Mt Isa, approximately 1.5km southeast of Mount Hope.
Ground electromagnetic surveys identified a strong and large conductor at the Mohawk discovery. However, no drilling has been completed along the entire more than 2 km-long Mohawk target fault zone corridor yet.
Carnaby’s Managing Director, Rob Watkins, said, “The discovery of undrilled outcropping high-grade lode copper mineralisation over at least 150m of strike at Mohawk, coincident with a very large and strong ground EM conductor, is extremely exciting.
“Mohawk is located along a major NS vein lode fault structure over a completely undrilled more than 2km strike. This discovery, in addition to the Mount Hope discovery, exemplifies our belief in the wider Mount Hope region.
“It is a remarkably underexplored area, with an enormous IOCG surface geochemical footprint of approximately 5km by 5km area. A major RC drilling program has commenced targeting open pit mineral resource growth at Greater Duchess from numerous new undrilled targets, including the new Mohawk discovery.”
