Firebird Resources has reported the second hole results from the ongoing drill campaign at its Buzzard project in South Carolina.
The company has drilled the hole FRDDBZ-103 for 207.9 m deep to widen and authenticate the significant drill results.
The company has identified a silicified, sheared felsic volcaniclastic breccia along with a scattered pyrrhotite and pyrite, sericitic and potassic alteration and crosscutting slim veinlets of quartz in the intervals between 67.1 and 115.9 m.
Mineralization from 122.2 to 143.3 m of the interval is connected with sooty sulfides scattered in a silica matrix along with feldspars’ potassic alteration and noticeable molybdenite and hydrothermal breccia that is grained coarsely. A strongly distorted heterolithic breccia, which is crosscut by silica, calcite layers and dispersed layers of sooty sulfides, is present in the mineralized interval.
A Paleozoic mafic dike that is unmineralized splits these mineralized zones, which are similar to the high-grade zones identified in the historic drill program.
The company has presently completed three holes at the Buzzard project and has sent the third hole to the lab. It has mobilized the drilling rig for a 3 to 4 hole drill campaign at the Jefferson project. Then, these drilling rigs will come back to the Buzzard project for another drilling phase, which is being scheduled.
Currently, the second rig is drilling the initial hole at the Belk Project.
