Khartoum Project, QLD
EV Resources Limited (ASX: EVR) announces further high-grade copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and silver (Ag) mineralisation at the Khartoum Project in Queensland. Rock chip samples show up to 71% Cu and 874 g/t Ag, highlighting significant potential. Five high-priority porphyry targets identified for further exploration...…
Project Summary
The Khartoum Project consists of five exploration permits covering an area of 98km2, and is located approximately 100km southwest of Cairns, Queensland. The project sits within the Mossman Origin containing the East Tasmanide tract of Devonian to Cretaceous aged porphyritic intrusives. These are associated with the island-arc/ continental-arc convergent plate boundary zone that dominates the eastern Australia tectonic setting. Located in the Central Subtract of Cambrian to Cretaceous aged rocks, the Khartoum leases cover areas of porphyritic granites of the same age range as known porphyry deposits of this tract.
The area is considered to be highly prospective for magmatic arc porphyry and epithermal Cu-Mo-(±Ag ±Au) style mineralisation. This includes a wide range of styles: porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag-Au intrusives, epithermal Au-Ag quartz veins, REE pegmatites, replacement skarns, and polymetallic breccias. While the initial focus will be on the porphyry intrusive style, all of these styles will be tested for.
