East Star Resources PLC - London-based Kazakhstan-focused gold and copper exploration and development company - In an update on the assays from drilling at the Verkhuba copper deposit on the Rudny Altai volcanogenic massive sulfide belt, says it confirms the potential for resource development by way of open pit mining. Finds 92.5 metres of mineralisation recorded above a cut-off grade of 0.38% copper equivalent i.e. copper, lead, zinc and silver. Finds thick and high-grade intersections within the conceptual open pit shell modelled by independent consultants. Says high-grade mineralised zones match well with high-grade zones identified in over 42,000 metres of historical drilling. Finds predominantly copper mineralisation with up to 6.6% zinc identified in some intersections and notes extensive previously unidentified lower-grade mineralised envelopes around higher-grade intersections. Says gold offers potential for additional upside once assays are complete. Read More
