Venus Metals Corporation has kicked off a 2,500m reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Pincher Well zinc‐copper prospect within the Youanmi base metals project in Western Australia.
Exploration will target a historical strong induced polarisation (IP) anomaly located south of high‐grade mineralisation reported in 2017, which featured an assay of 10m at 7.31% zinc from 52m, including 6m at 9.5% zinc from 55m.
The anomaly sits in the southern part of the Pincher Dome volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system, which was not adequately tested by Venus’ past vertical drilling efforts.
It covers more than 5km of strike and hosts a number of known zinc-copper prospects including a substantial body of zinc mineralisation at North Dome.
