en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aruma Resources Ltd (ASX:AAJ) has completed approximately 1,100 metres of Phase 1 diamond drilling at the Tillex Copper-Silver Project in the Timmins mining district of Ontario, Canada, and plans to accelerate the project timeline towards a resource definition stage.

Managing Director Grant Ferguson stated that the drilling completed since acquiring the project in February represents a crucial first step in building geological understanding and refining future exploration targets. Despite harsh winter conditions, the drilling campaign confirmed the company's capability for year-round operations at the project, which will support subsequent larger-scale drilling programs.

The Tillex Project hosts extensive high-grade sulphide mineralization starting from a depth of approximately 25 metres, a type of copper mineralization uncommon among global copper projects. The mineralized system currently extends along strike for about 500 metres, remains open at depth, with sulphide mineralization intervals encountered at approximately 130 metres. The system also appears open along strike to the south and potentially to the north.

The project is located within the Timmins mining district, close to existing copper mining operations and processing infrastructure, providing access to established regional expertise and offering synergistic potential for future development.

Aruma Resources is currently awaiting assay results from the Phase 1 drilling campaign, expected to be released in June. These results, along with downhole electromagnetic survey data, will be integrated into an updated geological model to optimize targets for the next phase of drilling. The company plans a larger Phase 2 campaign aimed at extending the mineralization further to the southwest and advancing towards an initial resource definition.

Ferguson noted that historical drilling returned extremely high-grade silver results, although overall silver grades across the project are moderate. Silver still holds the potential to enhance the overall economics of the project.
