Special Report: BOA Resources has demonstrated the broader copper potential of its Neds Creek project in WA after maiden aircore drilling at the Limestone Bore prospect identified two promising structural trends.

The 18-hole program totalling 1355m returned a top intersection of 32m at 1.91% copper from 27m including 18m at 3.03% in hole 26NCAC0076.

Other notable hits are 29m at 1.73% copper from 3m including 9m at 4.77% with a separate 13m at 0.88% copper from 52m including 3m at 2.40% (26NCAC0069), and 10m at 1.83% copper from 67m including 3m at 4.62% (26NCAC0071).

BOA Resources (ASX:BOA) interprets the strongest interval as part of an east-west striking, north-dipping structure while the other high-grade intersections indicate a second north-northwest striking trend.

The deeper 13m interval averaged 2.3g/t silver, rising to 6g/t over the included 3m, and is associated with carbonaceous structures.

Limestone Bore lies more than 7km west of other known mineralisation and is largely concealed beneath transported sediments.

The prospect was identified through shallow geochemical drilling, extending exploration beyond the outcropping mineralisation and historical mining areas at Ricci Lee and Thaduna.

It adds another priority target to BOA’s 1378km2 Neds Creek project, where recent drilling has returned high-grade copper at Ricci Lee and extended the mineralised strike at Rooneys.
