The project

Adelaide-based explorer Investigator Resources (ASX: IVR) has commenced follow-up drilling of targets proximal to its Paris silver project in South ...

A number of programs completed at the Helen prospect have provided an improved understanding of the structural complexity and geology of the area. It hosts a mineral resource estimate of 18.8 million tonnes at 88g/t silver and 0.52% lead for 53.1 million ounces of silver and 97,600t of lead. Previously known as Ares North, Apollo was subject to a soil sampling program in 2021 using the UFF+ method in conjunction with drilling to improve Investigator’s understanding of the orientation of mineralising structures. A total of 15 holes will be drilled to assess gravity, magnetic and induced polarisation (IP) features in areas where previous results included 1m at 96 grams per tonne silver and 1m at 0.13g/t gold from 66m; 4m at 0.17% lead from 90m; and 27m at 0.17% zinc from 86m. At Apollo, 21 holes will aim to assess an identified demagnetised feature within the regional Gawler Range Volcanics (GRV), as well as the source of anomalous surface geochemistry at the base of the GRV. Adelaide-based explorer Investigator Resources (ASX: IVR) has commenced follow-up drilling of targets proximal to its Paris silver project in South Australia with a view to extending the resource and enhancing the project’s economics.
