ASX-listed Askari Metals says analysis of historic drilling at the Katta target of its recently acquired Nejo gold project, in Ethiopia, has identified significant high-grade copper mineralisation.

This includes 14.33 m at 3.2% copper from 25.3 m depth and 35.51 m at 0.82% copper from 152.55 m depth.

“Validating our acquisition strategy by analysing and digitising the historical exploration data has been our first priority at Nejo,” executive director Gino D’Anna points out.

“Nejo is a district-scale advanced brownfield gold and copper project and offers everything we look for in a flagship asset – scale, high-grade gold and copper upside, proven mineralisation and proximity to major gold operations on a globally significant greenstone belt.

“With a large-scale landholding, extensive historical data, and clear targets, we have the ingredients to fast-track Nejo toward a maiden Joint Ore Reserves Committee resource,” D’Anna says.
