• In December 2024, the Company completed an expanded drilling program beyond the main Bluebird Copper-Gold discovery zone, aimed at targeting new prospects along strike to the East and West of the high-grade Bluebird mineralisation1. The Company completed fifty-one Slimline Reverse Circulation (“SLRC”) drillholes over the Bluebird East and Perseverance prospects in addition to six deep Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drillholes targeting depth and plunge extensions of the Bluebird mineralisation (Figure 1).
Tennant Minerals CEO, Vincent Algar, commented on the recent program: “The drilling in December 2024 was the first program in some time that Tennant drilled target areas away from Bluebird.
At Bluebird, drilling stepped out and located the mineralised structure, but in those step-out positions, we were unable to replicate the previous high grades. Importantly however, the new drilling at Bluebird has better defined the mineralised corridor and confirms the continuity of the mineralised zones we have previously identified. This will inform our future drill programs to help expand this amazing copper-gold body of mineralisation. Importantly, the mineralisation remains open to the west and down-plunge.
Sample despatch and laboratory delays have affected the majority of the Bluebird East drilling results which are still anticipated and will be reported when received and reviewed”.
