BBX Minerals Limited: Platinum mineralisation from surface and 2m interval at 5.08 g/t 5E PGM, Assay Results - TED-013 and TED-014
BBX Minerals Limited (ASX: BBX) (“BBX” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assay results for diamond drill holes TED 013 and TED 014, from its 2020-21 drilling programme (Figure 1) at the Três Estados project (Figure 2). Assays were conducted for gold, platinum, palladium, iridium and rhodium. Precious metal mineralisation was encountered in the two holes, including an interval of 5.08 g/t 5E PGM in TED-013.
Drill hole TED-013 showed widespread platinum mineralisation and local gold, iridium and rhodium values, concentrated mainly in the upper 45m of the hole. Mineralisation remains open at depth.
Drill hole TED-014 returned significant platinum mineralisation in the upper portion of the hole within the weathered zone, plus isolated iridium values in the deeper portion of the hole.
Significant results include:
TED-013
- 9.0m at 1.59 g/t 5E PGM[i] (1.52 g/t Pt and 0.06 g/t Rh) from 18m
- 6.1m at 2.38 g/t 5E PGM (2.23 g/t Pt, 0.07 g/t Rh and 0.08g/t Au) from 30.9m
- 2.0m at 5.08 g/t 5E PGM (4.12 g/t Pt and 0.96 g/t Ir) from 43m
TED-014
- 6.0m at 2.81 g/t 5E PGM (2.81 g/t Pt) from surface
- 6.0m at 1.75 g/t 5E PGM (1.70 g/t Pt and 0.05 g/t Pd) from 10m
Refer to Appendix 1 for the complete results.
