This is interesting: Investigator Resources ASX: IVR's South Australia emerging silver province has now discovered: High grade rare earth mineralisation identified in recent drilling at the Apollo prospect, adjacent to Investigator’s Paris silver deposit, adding potential to IVR’s tenements.
• Significant TREO and MREO intersections include:
o 15m @ 3,221ppm TREO and 1,099ppm MREO from 66m in hole PPRC836.
o Includes 9m @ 4,700ppm TREO and 1,772ppm MREO from 72m.
• 80% of holes at Apollo intersected a distinct clay horizon with intersections above the 1,000ppm TREO reporting cutoff.
• Mineralisation is hosted by interpreted saprolitic volcanics derived from underlying REE-enriched upper Gawler Range Volcanic units.
• High percentages of valuable MREOs in the mineralised intervals are associated with Neodymium and Praseodymium
• Broad-spaced drilling has revealed a consistent trend to the mineralised horizon which shallows to the southwest and is open in all directions.
• The geological setting opens up significant exploration potential across Investigator’s Peterlumbo and other Southern Gawler Craton tenements.
• Samples from other previously drilled targets across the broader Peterlumbo tenement have been submitted for assay of their full suite of REEs.
• Investigator also recently reported 8m @ 1,262g/t silver from 149m (including 3m @ 3,167g/t silver from 150m and including 1m @ 6,530g/t silver from 152m at the Apollo Prospect.
