Tempest Minerals Ltd (ASX:TEM) (FRA:LIF) continues to progress the Messenger Project, part of its extensive landholding within the Yalgoo mineral field, where the company is exploring for gold and copper, around 450 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia.
The project is eight kilometres north of the prolific Golden Grove copper-zinc-gold mine and encompasses part of the ‘Messengers Patch’, an historic mining centre hosting numerous high-grade mines (up to 10 ounces gold per ton), and a state battery (government-built gold processing facility) in the early 1900s.
Recent drilling at Messenger confirmed the presence of thick quartz veining and alteration in most drill holes.
