[{"type":"text","content":"TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rupert Resources’ (“Rupert” or “the Company”) on-going systematic drilling campaign has confirmed a second parallel zone of mineralisation at the Heinä Central discovery in Area 1, 25km from the Pahtavaara mill. Highlights Hole 119062 intersected a mineralised zone of 3.3g/t Au and 1.5% Cu over 10.6m from 84m (including 12.3g/t Au over 2.0m and 1.8% Cu over 6.0m) confirming a second higher grade mineralised zone, parallel to the main zone of mineralisation at Heinä Central Heinä Central continues to grow. Drilling has now intersected similar sulphide-rich breccias over a strike length of 600m of the 700m EM anomaly. The recently completed down-hole EM survey has also indicated depth potential to at least 350m James Withall, CEO of Rupert Resources commented “These latest higher grade assay results, near to surface, and in a second zone at Heinä Central further demonstrate the potential for economic continuity of mineralisation. The results show the ongoing effectiveness of Rupert’s exploration approach to generate positive drill results across its 297km2 land package in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt.” Summary As previously reported on November 7, 2019 a broad zone of gold and copper bearing sulphide mineralisation has been identified at Heinä Central, in Area 1 of the Pahtavaara Project (figure 1). Previously reported shallow intercepts from hole 119049 of 4.1g/t Au & 1.6% Cu over 4.0m from 35m (including 12.7 g/t Au and 4.3% Cu over 1.3m) and 8.3g/t Au & 2.0% Cu over 1m from 44m indicated a second zone to the east of, and parallel to, the broader main zone of mineralisation. The follow-up drilling in hole 119062 was designed to test the potential for vertical extent and successfully identified a more cohesive zone of mineralisation grading 3.3g/t Au and 1.5% Cu over 10.6m from 84m. This hole has confirmed continuity to at least 75m vertical depth with high-grade gold and copper mineralisation. Location of drill holes and mineralised zones at Heinä Central So far three mineralised zones have been identified within the broader envelope and mineralisation is open to the north, where untested base of till anomalies (>1g/t Au) are present, and to the south east. Estimated true width of the broadest zone intersected to date is up to 75m. Drilling has intersected sulphide-rich breccias over s...
