Pantera Minerals hits antimony, silver mineralisation ahead of drill programme in US
ASX-listed Pantera Minerals has published more "outstanding" results from its Phase 2 exploration programme at the Gillham project, in Arkansas.
The latest exceptional assay results from rock chip sampling strengthen the company's confidence in the scale and continuity of the project while in parrallel refining multiple high-priority targets.
The assays returned grade results of 19.2% antimony and 63.8 g/t silver.
"The results have confirmed high-grade antimony, silver and base metal anomalism across multiple priority prospect areas. The programme has expanded and refined multiple mineralised trends, confirmed the association between surface geochemistry and historical workings, and identified several targets for drill testing," says Pantera CEO and chairperson Barnaby Egerton-Warburton.
He adds that the assay results continue to support the potential for a district-scale antimony, silver and polymetallic system at Gillham.
The project covers about 5 000 acres across the Gillham East and West project areas and hosts more than 18 historical antimony and silver workings. Despite its historical production profile, the district has not previously been tested by modern drilling.
Multiple coincident soil and rock anomalies, supported by historical workings, have refined priority drill targets ahead of Pantera’s planned maiden drilling programme.
