Solstice Minerals has returned wide copper-gold intercepts from two additional diamond tails and step-out reverse circulation drilling at the Nanadie Copper-Gold Project in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Hole NANRCD018 delivered a combined intercept of 148m at 0.77% copper and 0.20g/t gold from 201m. The diamond tail component added 43.4m at 0.56% copper and 0.15g/t gold to previously reported mineralisation to the end of the hole in the pre-collar.

“The combined 148m intercept in NANRCD018 is particularly encouraging. Together with the nearby 51m @ 1.03% Cu and 0.29g/t Au intercept in NANRC041, drilling is defining a broad, strongly mineralised position that sits immediately to the north of a local cross-fault and largely outside the current MRE boundary. We eagerly await the results of additional RC and diamond drilling completed in this area.” — Mr Nick Castleden, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

Step-out reverse circulation drilling across three traverses beyond the southern limits of the current Mineral Resource Estimate boundary returned multiple significant intercepts, including 43m at 0.59% copper and 0.21g/t gold from 175m in hole NANRC044, and 47m at 0.45% copper and 0.19g/t gold from 209m in hole NANRC045. Infill diamond tail NANRCD026 delivered 36m at 0.70% copper and 0.21g/t gold from 288.4m to the end of the hole.

Drilling across the Mining Lease has defined a mineralised footprint approximately 100m to 200m wide extending over at least 1.2km of strike extent. The system remains open at depth and along strike.

Solstice holds a 100% interest in the project on a granted Mining Lease. A second reverse circulation rig is expected on site in the coming days to accelerate the campaign. Processing of diamond core and sample dispatch continue, with assay results pending for a further 12 diamond tails and 18 reverse circulation holes.
