Its joint venture partner, Teck Ireland Ltd has outlined structural, alteration and mineralisation evidence, which contribute to upgrading this target.
The new drill hole, TC-1991-003, is targeted over 1km to the south-west of holes TC-1991-002 and TC-3926-002, which were drilled earlier this year and intersected altered and mineralized zones within the Upper Sandstone Unit.
This unit is an important host to the SWEX zone at Tara Mine in Navan.
The Oldcastle block of five licences is being explored by Teck in an option agreement with Connemara, under the
Oldcastle Zinc vehicle.
