How Deep Will Black Ridge Copper- Gold go ?Most recent news from Firefky related to 2022 drill results that did not include the metal byproducts of gold silver and zinc..see extract below.
Black Ridge is the same Mafic style Copper - gold-silver- zinc discovery....albeit at higher grades than Ming
Ming I recall is at the 1000 m level but these grades can be found much deeper.
In these orogenic deposits , glacial till containing rock debris scuffed off from the underlying bedrock and whose debris field contained ubiquitous high grade Copper + metals , sampled by MAE, the metal containing bedrock lodes are found quite near , literallly beneath your feet.
Putting all of this together, it is only by suppressed enthusiasm that I defer to not calling Black Ridge a company maker discovery .
Lets get those drills going..

Analysis of historic 2022 drill holes that were only assayed for copper by the previous operator demonstrate significant quanes of precious (gold and silver) and base metals (zinc) in the high- grade VMS zone. Results (refer ASX release dated 11 December 2023) include:
o 9.3m @ 9.4% Cu, 4.7g/t Au, 20.5g/t Ag, 1.3% Zn (13.6% CuEq)
RM22-795-15 o 16.8m @ 6.7% Cu, 3.5g/t Au, 24.8g/t Ag, 4.9% Zn (11.2% CuEq)
RM22-795-10 o 41.2m @ 5.9% Cu, 1.3g/t Au, 13.3g/t Ag (7.1% CuEq)
RM22-795-06 o 47.2m @ 4.7% Cu, 2.2g/t Au, 14.3g/t Ag (6.8% CuEq) RM22-795-14
o 18.4m @ 4.6% Cu, 1.9g/t Au, 10.9g/t Ag (6.3% CuEq)
RM22-795-02 o 31.6m @ 3.6% Cu, 1.1g/t Au, 9.8g/t Ag (4.6% CuEq) RM22-795-08
