ASX/TSX-V: JRV HIGHLIGHTS
MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 6 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Jervois Mining Limited (ASX:JRV) (TSX-V: JRV) ("Jervois") (the "Company") has commenced an initial 2,000 metre diamond core drilling programme at its ICO in the United States, primarily to supply metallurgical samples for testwork to support the FS update currently underway. Most of the core will be drilled by large diameter PQ size to enable sufficient ore samples for comminution and flotation testing. In addition, HQ core will extend several holes to test for the existence of footwall lenses at depth, which is present in the southern areas of the Idaho Cobalt Belt.
In addition, Jervois is planning an infill drilling programme of up to 3,400 metres of HQ size diamond core drilling, which will follow on from the metallurgical drilling. This programme will target the existing resource model within initial ore source areas envisaged in the first years of the mining at ICO to increase the level of geological confidence from such areas. Following the completion of the drilling programme, anticipated end of October 2019, an updated resource model will be produced to feed into mine planning for the FS, which is due for completion and release at end of Q1 2020.
