Red Hill Minerals Limited advances copper-gold exploration at its Anabama Project. New IP surveys extend chargeability anomalies over six kilometres along the Anabama-Redan Shear Zone, setting the stage for up to 8,000 metres of drill testing before year-end—a promising development for future resource growth.
Red Hill Minerals Limited has advanced its exploration efforts at the Anabama Project in eastern South Australia, reporting further encouraging results from its Induced Polarisation survey work. An additional six infill and extensional survey lines were completed, bringing the total survey line length to 20.4 kilometres. These surveys have highlighted extensive chargeability and resistivity anomalies along the Anabama-Redan Shear Zone that correlate well with historic copper and gold drilling intercepts. Notably, the chargeability anomaly now extends over six kilometres along the shear zone with high-response areas yet to be drill tested.
The recent results, which were obtained using industry-standard dipole–dipole data acquisition with 100-metre spacing, have reinforced the prospectivity of the target area. Historic data shows various zones with copper mineralisation, with specific intercepts on orientation lines demonstrating notable copper and gold content. The survey work has effectively expanded the strike length of the target nearly threefold compared to previous shallow drilling, substantiating the technical basis for further exploration.
Heritage survey and drill planning are underway with first-pass drill testing planned to commence by the end of the year, targeting up to 6,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling and 2,000 metres of diamond drilling. The Anabama Project, spanning 840 square kilometres, is part of the company’s Curnamona Earn-In Joint Venture with Peel Mining Limited and is prospective for copper, gold, and uranium.
The technical indicators from the recent survey suggest a bullish view for the asset's long-term potential, as the extended chargeability anomalies and increased strike length point to an expanded mineralised system. However, some bearish sentiment persists given that these early-stage exploration results have yet to be confirmed by drilling, and uncertainties remain regarding the economic viability and near-term execution risks. Investors should closely monitor upcoming drill results, which will be pivotal in validating the promising geophysical signatures observed so far.
