[{"type":"text","content":"\n RNS Number : 8254X Red Rock Resources plc 13 December 2010 \n \n\nRED ROCK RESOURCES PLC\n \nKenya: two copper targets to be drilled at Migori\n \nDated: 13 December 2010\n \nRed Rock Resources Plc (\"Red Rock\" or the \"Company\"), an exploration and mining company with gold projects in Kenya, Costa Rica and Colombia, and investments in iron ore, manganese, uranium and rare earths, reports that it has found two significant drillable sulphide targets from analysis of results from a VTEM airborne electromagnetic survey conducted by Geotech Airborne Ltd over the historic Macalder mine in south west Kenya.\n \nAn initial programme of up to 19 drill holes and two trenches will now test these targets for copper, other base metal, gold, and silver mineralisation.\n \nA specially modified helicopter towing a wire loop was used to conduct the survey, and flew the area at low level along flight lines 100m apart collecting multichannel electromagnetic geophysical data. The total survey comprised 278 line kilometres, flown at 50m height, over an area of approximately 25 square kilometres. Survey flight lines were flown in a NE-SW orientation, perpendicular to the regional strike of the Macalder VMS deposit geology, covering both limbs of a large scale NW-SE trending anticline.\n \nThe VTEM system measured 2 electromagnetic (EM) fields; dB/dt and B-Field (36 channels of each), along with TMI (Total Magnetic Intensity) and DTM (Digital Terrain Model) data. Several EM anomalies within the survey area were detected and the two priority targets have been identified in the late channel 33 B-field EM grid image (Figure 1) as Conductor 1 and Conductor 2. Due to a large number of culturally induced anomalies, the Macalder town and other cultural sites (ie power line transformers and metal bridges) have been excised from the survey area.\n \nFigure 1 : AEM B-Field channel 33 grid, showing two priority conductors and CDI section lines\n \nhttp://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/8254X_2-2010-12-13.pdf\n \nAEM Conductivity Depth Sections\n \nMultichannel electromagnetic profile data measured by the AEM system can be mathematically processed into apparent conductivity depth sections. The two priority targets Conductivity Depth Images (CDI) sections were produced by the contractor an...
