Demetallica (ASX:DRM) is proving itself as a robust junior explorer after less than three months on the market, with today’s quarterly revealing a management team getting on with the job.
Likely of foremost interest to investors, Demetallica expects to upgrade its mineral resource estimate attached to the QLD ‘Chimera’ polymetal project by the end of the year.
Chimera encapsulates the Jericho prospect, which has consistently returned strong copper grades in initial drilling.
Earlier this month, Demetallica unveiled its maiden assays at Jericho.
Those results came only weeks after the company first commenced trading on the ASX. By the time its ticker was live, activity was already underway on-site.
The company has noted its current mineral resource estimate is only based on a 2.2km strike length, whereas targets across both J1 and J2 lodes comprise a total of 3.7km.
Currently, two drill rigs are active on-site targeting two lodes that comprise Jericho.
Demetallica’s assets are located across Queensland and South Australia.
Broken down:
South Australia contains
The Peake and Denison JV project (polymetal)
The Lake Purdilla project (gypsum)
Queensland contains
The Chimera project (polymetal)
The Windsor project (polymetal)
The Cannington project (polymetal)
