Consolidated Tin Mines continues to ramp up its exploration and mining activities in the Mount Garnet and Einasleigh areas.
The company is advising that Stage 3 drilling at the Mt Garnet Deeps project is underway with two of the planned five drill holes completed to date.
The drilling program focuses on the upper area of the Mt Garnet Deeps mineralisation.
Stage 2 drilling was successful in defining a broad envelope of mineralisation which remains open at depth and to the south.
The Stage 2 drilling provided significant intercepts of economic grade and confirmed a contiguous curtain of mineralisation in what is described as the footwall position within the host skarn lithological envelope.
The Jasmac mineralisation currently spans a strike length of over 200m to a depth of approximately 200m.
