Patriot extends Zambia copper discovery corridor to 5.5km
The target host is interpreted as a syenite – a coarse-grained alkaline intrusive rock - with high IP chargeability anomalies coincident with strong magnetic lineaments. The mineralisation is tied to late stages of the Hook Granite, between 570 to 520 million years ago. One hole delivered 17m at 0.41 per cent copper, 4.7 grams per tonne (g/t) silver and 0.30 per cent zinc from 29m.
