Tennant Minerals Bluebird copper-gold discovery in Australia's Northern Territory is gathering momentum. The two most recent drill holes (BBDD0013 and BBDD0015) again returned thick intercepts of extremely high-grade copper-gold-sulfide with up to 54.5% copper and gold grades up to 39 g/t. Notably, drilling indicates that the ore body can now be traced to a depth of 250m, with further potential beyond that to depth. Two additional drill holes (BBDD0016 & 0017) have already been completed.

These holes have also intersected thick hematite and visible copper sulphide mineralization, although laboratory interpretation is still pending. Exceptional intercepts from drill hole BBDD0013 include: 40m @ 2.6% Cu and 1.34 g/t Au at 131m depth (down hole); including 24.5m @ 3.9% Cu and 0.45 g/t Au at 146.5m; including 4.75m @ 15.2% Cu and 0.36 g/t Au from 164m, including 0.8m @ 54.5% Cu and including 3.0m @ 1.8% Cu and 13.2 g/t Au from 181m, including 1m @ 39 g/t Au. Diamond drill hole BBDD0015 is a step-out hole 100 meters down dip from the successful hole 12 (63 m @ 2.1% Cu, 4.6 g/t Au including 27.55 m @ 3.6% Cu, 10 g/t Au).

Hole BBDD0015 doubled Bluebird's depth to more than 250 m, demonstrating that the deposit remains fully open. High grade intercepts from BBDD0015 include: 17.8 m @ 3.7% Cu and 0.34 g/t Au from 277 m (downhole); including 9.5 m @ 6.0% Cu and 0.48 g/t Au from 278 m; including 2.3 m @ 12.3% Cu and 0.36 g/t Au from 285.2 m.
