The Northern Copper Zone is shaping up to underpin enhanced mine plans and project economics for Parys Mountain Anglesey recently reported the assay results for the third drill hole completed at its’ Parys Mountain project. Drilling has confirmed the continuity and scale of the Northern Copper Zone (NCZ) which we believe is likely to contribute significant volumes of high-grade ore to mine plans in on-going feasibility studies. Surging metal prices and increased volumes will, we believe, contribute to significantly enhanced project economics once feasibility studies are reported.
The Parys Mountain drill programme has successfully demonstrated the continuity of mineralisation at the NCZ, and it has improved confidence in the Garth Daniel and Central zones. Drilled intervals from the NCZ extend over at least 700m of strike and 400m down-dip, mineralisation is recorded in intervals over 10’s of meters. It is our belief that the drilled intervals lend themselves to low-cost bulk-mining methods and that this will significantly enhance the economic projections for Parys Mountain once feasibility studies are reported. We expect Anglesey will report an updated resource for Parys Mountain that we anticipate will include higher confidence resource categories as well as boosting contained metal. We maintain our fair value at 5.4p per share.
