Hier mal ein Auszug von der HP über das Kupferprojekt von Butcher Bird. Ist ja bei der ganzen Diskussion um Mangan schon fast ein wenig untergegangen.. Wie der Markt auf High-Grade-Kupfermineralisierungen reagiert brauch ich ja nicht zu schreiben. Wenn ihr euch mal die Mineralisierungen anschaut, einfach genial. Hab kein blassen Schimmer wann hier Bohrergebnisse veröffentlicht werde, ist mir allerdings auch schnuppe. Ich geb hier sowieso in diesem Jahr kein Stück aus der Hand.
Und Fips, bei mir ist MZM auch mit Abstand die größte Posi. Lässt einen wenig schlafen, die blöde Neugier. Manchmal sogar mitten in der Nacht, Handy liegt ja neben mir.. ;-)) Copper
The Butcher Bird Project contains the historic Butcher Bird mine, a high grade near surface copper mine which targeted supergene copper mineralisation. The mine has recorded production of 8.46t of copper at an average grade of 22.6%. The main 3 shafts lay in the south-eastern portion of the tenement at 775750m E and 7297200m N GDA zone 50. Montezuma has undertaken mullock sampling at the Butcher Bird Copper Mine which returned very strong copper results. A total of seven surface mullock heap samples were collected by Montezuma during a July site visit. The mullock heaps are situated at the shaft openings of the Butcher Bird shallow underground copper mine. Both primary and oxidised zones of the fault infill mineralisation was recognised and sampled. Sample | Cu % | Fe % | Au ppb | Ag ppm | As ppm | Co ppm | Mo ppm | Ni ppm | Pb ppm | Zn ppm | BB26 | 6.86 | 12.8 | 6 | 19.5 | 101 | 265 | 2 | 120 | 1040 | 105 | BB29 | 21.7 | 1.01 | 58 | 87.5 | 16 | 840 | 2 | 720 | 48 | 575 | BB30 | 26.0 | 1.82 | 47 | 156 | 36 | 585 | 2.5 | 515 | 48 | 565 | BB32 | 12.4 | 10.6 | 7 | 6 | 28 | 1070 | 2.5 | 600 | 235 | 85 |
Table 1: Oxidised rocks with visible azurite and malachite. The rocks comprising table 1 were highly weathered azurite and malachite rich. They were selected to represent the ore material mined from the shallow underground stopes and are considered to represent supergene copper oxide mineralisation. Sample | Cu | Fe | Au | Ag | Pb | Sb | Si | U | Zn | Co | Ni | As | % | % | ppb | ppm | ppm | ppm | % | ppm | ppm | ppm | ppm | ppm | BB59 | 4.31 | 13.8 | 8 | 39 | 917 | 5220 | 33.6 | 18.7 | 40 | 145 | 90 | 80 | BB27 | 6.07 | 20.3 | 7 | 26 | 1120 | 4920 | 22.4 | 51.1 | 125 | 415 | 180 | 162 | BB28 | 7.05 | 19.4 | 5 | 48 | 1250 | 7850 | 20.4 | 38.1 | 80 | 280 | 145 | 121 |
Table 2: Iron oxide breccia samples. Note BB59 and 27 are unweathered, and BB28 is weakly gossanous with minor visible azurite. Table 2 shows results from samples that were selected to represent the Iron Oxide matrix material of the breccia which is considered the primary target for primary mineralisation below the supergene zone. BB28 contains visible azurite, and is considered to represent gossan weathered Iron Oxide breccia. Copper values are very robust and Antimony (Sb) is highly significant. Silver (Ag), Cobalt (Co) and Lead (Pb) are also anomalous. Gold in these samples is low, but has been historically reported in anomalous amounts in some samples of adjacent fault systems. The fault hosting the Butcher Bird Copper Mine has been mapped as an iron rich gossan for a strike of 3.3km. There are 3 adjacent faults mapped around the Butcher Bird fault providing a number of targets in addition to the currently known areas of mineralisation. Based on the large regional extent of the mapped surface gossans, the anomalous geochemistry, the sampling and remote sensing data, Butcher Bird is regarded as having excellent potential to host significant tonnages of copper mineralisation. Drilling will commence as soon as possible once the tenements have been granted and relevant clearances received.
