Ivanhoe’s Kipushi zinc mine in the DRC officially reopens
The restart marked exactly a century since the mine first went into production.
Drilling results suggest to Selwyn Resources (TSX-V: SWN) that two key, high grade zones of zinc-lead mineralization may be connected at its namesake project in the Yukon, a joint-venture between it and Yunnan Chihong Zinc and Germanium.
Two drillholes collared at the Don deposit hit thick intercepts rich in zinc-lead mineralization. Hole 180 cut 30 metres @ 9.27 percent zinc and 3.48 percent lead, while nearby hole 192 returned as much as 43 metres @ 8.94 percent Zn and 3.16 percent Pb. The drillholes respectively started 642 and 586 metres downhole.
