Summary
- The Queensland Government awarded Superior a $300,000 grant for drilling at Bottletree.
- The grant is part of the Collaborative Exploration Initiative under the QLD Resources Industry Development Plan.
- Two deep holes totaling 1,700m will target the core of the Bottletree porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system.
- The area has shown promising anomalies suggesting significant mineralization.
- Superior has confirmed two large porphyry systems and several potential porphyries in three years.
- Drilling is set to commence as soon as weather and ground conditions permit.
Highlights
- $300,000 CEI grant awarded.
- 1,700m of drilling planned for two critical holes.
- Anomalies include a broad magnetic low, a 2.0km x 2.5km Cu soil anomaly, and a gravity high anomaly.
- Previous drilling intersected 632m @ 0.21% Cu, including high-grade sections.
- Exploration has identified two large porphyry systems.
Positives
- Significant government support with a $300,000 grant.
- Extensive drilling planned to target the core of a promising porphyry system.
- Multiple coinciding anomalies supporting the presence of significant mineralization.
- Previous drilling results suggest extensive copper-gold mineralization with substantial molybdenum.
- Superior's exploration contributes directly to the critical minerals future.
Negatives
- The area remains largely untested, indicating uncertainties in exploration outcomes.
- Weather and ground conditions could potentially delay the commencement of drilling.
Key Dates
