en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aruma Resources Ltd (ASX:AAJ) has released results from the first phase of diamond drilling at the Tillex Copper-Silver Project in Ontario, Canada, yielding multiple wide, high-grade copper-silver mineralization intersections. These results have strengthened the company's confidence in the mineralized system.
The Tillex Project is located in the Timmins mining district, approximately 50 kilometers from the Kidd Creek deposit. Kidd Creek is a world-renowned deep volcanic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit. Aruma Resources' drilling has currently only explored sulfide mineralization to a depth of approximately 135 meters. Company Managing Director Grant Ferguson stated that these results significantly enhance the geological understanding of the project and can be used to guide target definition for the planned second phase of drilling.
Highlight intercept: from a depth of 38 meters, 89 meters grading 2.04% copper with approximately 12.5 g/t silver. Ferguson described this result as a "major leap forward" in the company's understanding following the first phase of diamond drilling. The latest drilling has also identified the potential role of a porphyry body within the main mineralized package, an area previously largely undetected, but the drill hole shows continuous copper mineralization.
Downhole electromagnetic (EM) survey results support the drilling observations. Ferguson stated that the EM work helps understand the location of conductors and the mineralogical zoning of the copper deposit. Tillex is described as a VMS-type copper system with a zinc halo. The system remains open along strike and at depth, with copper sulfide mineralization starting approximately 30 meters below surface.
The company owns the mineral rights through patented claims. Aruma Resources plans to systematically advance exploration, including deeper drilling, additional testing along strike length, and ongoing interpretation of downhole EM data. The company has also begun to focus on the gold potential in the surrounding area, but current efforts remain primarily on understanding the geology of the copper-silver system.
