Reserves and Resources
Caledonia’s 2023 deep level drilling programme at Blanket Mine yielded encouraging results. The Company is currently evaluating the continuity of the mineralised zones on the Blanket and Eroica ore bodies in anticipation of delineating an increased overall resource. The results indicate that the existing Blanket and Eroica ore bodies have grades and widths which are generally better than expected. Total drilling for 2023 was 13,280 metres.
Highlights of the results include:
Holes Identifier | Orebody Name | Orebody Intersection | Core Length (m) | True width (m) | Grade (g/t) | Orebody Intersection depth from surface(m) | *E.O.H(m) | |
