Rupert Resources provided an exploration update from its Ikkari and Heinä Central projects. At Ikkari, results from recent infill drilling continued to show high-grade intercepts e.g. 13m @ 9.4g/t Au and 4.5g/t Au over 97m in drill hole 121158 or 102m @ 3.8g/t Au, including 6.9g/t Au over 42m in drill hole 121125. In addition, infill drilling from the eastern end of the deposit returned higher grades than previously intercepted (See figure below). Ikkari’s maiden resource estimate resulted in 3.95 moz Au.
The company also continued to deliver high-grade intercepts from its adjacent Heinä central Au-Cu prospect, with latest results including e.g. 14.7m @ 4.5 g/t Au and 2.1% Cu, from the deeper parts of the mineralization. Further drilling at the prospect is planned for Q1 2022.
