Drilling at Tripela area, New Britain Island

Drilling at Tripela area, New Britain Island

Geological mapping and sampling discovered significant copper and molybdenum soil anomalism at Tripela in the Mt Nakru area, in West New Britain Province. Float and outcrop sampling and geological mapping delineated numerous occurrences of in situ high grade copper and molybdenum mineralization with grades up to 29.5% copper returned from outcrop assays. Much of the mineralization in outcrop is interpreted as D veins occurring around the alteration halo of a buried porphyry deposit. This geological mapping and rock sampling were followed up with trenching to more fully define the surface anomalies; New Britain|Papua Mining, edited
