Playfair’s (PLY) drill program has successfully completed seven short holes at its RKV Copper Project in Norway.
At Storboren drill hole STB-21-07 encountered at least 6 sulphide zones ranging from 20 cm to 1.5 metres wide within a previously unknown ultramafic intrusive. Sulphides are mostly pyrrhotite with lesser pyrite and chalcopyrite.
Samples have been cut and sent for analysis. Preparation will be at the Malå, Sweden ALS laboratory with analysis at the Loughrea, Ireland ALS laboratory.
ALS Minerals is internationally recognized as the global leader in providing geochemical sample preparation, analytical procedures, and data management solutions, with its European hub lab based in Loughrea, Co. Galway.
A total of 99 samples have been submitted and comprised 36 core samples from Rødalen, 60 core samples from Storboren and 3 rock samples.
Playfair will consider future exploration at Rødalen and Storboren once analytical results have been received. Drill testing of the remaining five targets will resume in the Spring.
Promin AS, a Trondheim-based consultancy with extensive experience in the Norwegian Mining industry, provides logistical support and experienced geologists. Helge Rushfeldt assisted greatly in the start-up of the drill program. Kjell Nilsen, one of Norway’s most experienced field geologists who discovered Nussir, Norway’s largest known copper deposit, and Jonas Dombrowski are directly supervising the drilling, core logging and analysis.
The man-portable drill team is supervised by Canadian drillers (No Limit Diamond Drilling) for Arctic Drilling (based in Finnmark). Local “Muskelgutta” (Muscle Guys) have risen to the challenge of moving the man-portable drill. Local community support is greatly appreciated.
All seven drill targets show compelling coherent MMI Cu anomalies with multiple MMI Cu values greater than 6,000 ppb. The highest value recorded was 53,300 ppb MMI Cu.
Playfair’s (PLY) is down 25.93 per cent, trading at C$0.10 at 12:48 pm ET.
