Recharge Metals finds IP surveys ideal for Brandy Hill South drill targeting

• Recharge Metals has found IP to be a cost-effective tool to define drill targets at Brandy Hill South project
• IP anomalies correlate well with previous drilling that returned hits such as 33m at 0.97% copper
• IP data to be integrated with historical drill data to refine drill targeting, IP surveying to be expanded

Special Report: Recharge Metals has demonstrated the effectiveness of induced polarisation to map areas of copper at its Brandy Hill South project in WA’s Murchison region.

Anomalies identified by a recent IP survey correlate well with previous drilling that returned results such as 33m grading 0.97% copper from 59m, 77m at 0.33% from 209m and 52m at 0.45% from 54m.

This suggests that Recharge Metals (ASX:REC) now has a cost-effective method to define future drill targets while advancing its strategic minerals portfolio.

Adding interest, the survey has identified a potential northern strike extension of known mineralisation with data continuing to support the emerging porphyry copper model at the project.

It notes that Brandy Hill South, where mineralisation has been defined over 500m of strike and remains open along strike and at depth, is well preserved compared to similar deposits in WA.

The project provides the company with a cost-effective opportunity to advance a quality copper asset in parallel with its flagship Carter uranium project in Montana.

Effective technique

“The results of the IP survey clearly demonstrate the technique’s effectiveness in mapping copper mineralisation at Brandy Hill South,” managing director Felicity Repacholi said.

“More importantly, it provides us with a cost-efficient method to identify sulphide-rich zones that could host further copper mineralisation and guide our drilling programs.

“The results also reinforce the updated mineralisation model developed during our technical review with Dr Steve Beresford, as announced on 8th July 8, 2024.

“We’re continuing to advance the Project based on the straightforward, low-cost exploration strategy developed during that review.

“While our core focus remains the Carter Uranium Project in the US, where we anticipate drilling later this year, the ability to concurrently progress an advanced copper project in a tier-one jurisdiction gives Recharge a strong opportunity to create value for shareholders.”

Forward plan

REC will now carry out a detailed paragenetic study that includes relogging of existing drill core from a cross section to determine the number of porphyry phases and understand vein paragenesis.

It will also carry out short wave infrared scanning of a representative drill hole or use a portable infrared mineral analyser to characterise alteration styles and refine lithogeochemical interpretations in the coming months.

In parallel, the company will integrate the new IP data with historical drill results and other geophysical datasets to refine drill targeting.

Planning is also underway to expand the IP survey coverage northward and across the broader project area.

Should the porphyry copper model be further validated through ongoing exploration, Brandy Hill South has the potential to become a high-value asset for Recharge, particularly given its location in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction and the favourable long-term outlook for copper.
