Iltani Resources is geared up to kick off the next planned phase of silver-indium and antimony drilling at the Herberton Project and Orient Project in Northern Queensland.
The company said it had commenced on-ground activities in preparation for the drilling, including 7,150m of RC drilling at the Orient silver-indium site. This program aims to convert the high-grade Orient West exploration target to a JORC inferred resource and advance Orient East towards an exploration target.
The Antimony Reward drilling will consist of approximately 1,000m of RC drilling, aiming to target down dip and strike extensions of high-grade antimony mineralisation and test the high-priority parallel vein structure.
Drilling at the Herberton Project is expected to commence in late September and take six to eight weeks to complete.
Iltani’s Managing Director, Donald Garner, said he is looking forward to restarting drilling at the Herberton Project in late September.
“At the Orient Silver-Indium Project, we plan to infill the high-grade core of Orient West to upgrade the high-grade exploration target to an initial JORC Resource, and test the high-grade mineralisation at depth, to better understand the underground potential.”
Mr Garner said the company also intends to return to Orient East with a drill program designed to infill and extend the high-grade mineralisation previously intersected by Iltani.
“This will lay the foundation for an Orient East exploration target, which we will then seek to upgrade to an initial JORC Resource in 2025.
“Whilst we have the drill rig turning at Orient, it gives us a great opportunity to drill our exciting high-grade Antimony Reward project, located 20km from Orient.
“We intend to drill and extend the known high-grade mineralisation, which returned up to 17.30 per cent antimony, and test the high priority parallel vein structure which has not yet been drilled.”
