Canyon Resources divides high-grade aluminium at Minim Martap Bauxite Project

According to the latest report, Canyon Resources Limited has divided high-grade aluminium up to 50 per cent at its Minim Martap Bauxite Project in Cameroon, where drilling is continuing to identify profiles with an increased depth of mineralisation. In some locations, drilling is being carried out up to 100 per cent deeper than past drilling results.

Drilling intersections include 6 metres at 58.19 per cent aluminium oxide and 0.92 per cent silicon oxide from surface.

Canyon’s chief geologist Alexander Shaw said, “The remainder of the assays from the 250-metre by 250-metre grid drilled on the Beatrice plateau have continued the very high-grade assay results that were recorded in the first batch of assays.”

He added, “We are also seeing significant increases in the depths of the mineralisation. Our drilling has increased the depth of the mineralisation to an average of 12 metres and a maximum of 17 metres, which in some cases is more than double the previous results.”

The global tier-one status of the project with the drilling campaign completes 429 drill holes for a total of 3,769 metres.

Canyon Resources also receives the second batch of assay results from the remaining 18 holes drilled on the southern section of the Beatrice plateau.
