Breakaway Resources (ASX: BRW) has a very prospective land holding known as the Eloise Exploration Project, which is strategically positioned 70 kilometres south-east of Cloncurry, in the heart of the world-class Cloncurry Mineral District of North West Queensland.
Infill and extensional reverse circulation and diamond drilling is currently underway at the Sandy Creek prospect, with six of the 22 hole program already completed.
Providing a boost to the exploration campaign, is that five of the first six holes have intersected shear – hosted quartz veining and copper sulphide (chalcopyrite – pyrite) mineralisation.
Importantly, these intersections are positioned between existing copper – gold drill intercepts - confirming internal continuity.
First assays are forecast to be received in mid-October 2011.
Sandy Creek mineralisation
At Sandy Creek, copper-gold mineralisation occurs within a well-defined zone of sheared sulphidic quartz veining within a broader zone of mafic / garnet alteration on the western margin of a gabbroic intrusive body.
Recent broad spaced reverse circulation drilling by Breakaway has identified a significant new copper system (with previous drill intercepts up to 3.51% copper) extending over a currently identified strike length of 600 metres and to a depth of 120 metres.
The mineralisation remains open in all directions with most sections only containing one drill hole.
