Savannah finds massive copper targets in Oman

MUSCAT: Savannah Resources Plc said it has identified a number of potential clusters of Volcanic Massive Sulphides (VMS) in the strongly mineralised Semail Ophiolite in northern Oman. While announcing the massive sulphide copper targets, Savannah’s CEO, David Archer said, “these early results underscore Savannah’s strategy that through the application of systematic exploration an excellent opportunity exists in Oman to build a significant mid-tier copper producer, utilising a central processing facility to support the development of a set of satellite deposits.”

A Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey was completed over Block 4 using 100m spaced survey lines running from east to west, for a total of 3,727 survey line kilometres covering an area of 336 square kilometres.

“We see this as a significant opportunity to quickly build on the existing 1.7Mt at 2.2 per cent copper Mineral Resource base we have in Oman,” Archer said.

The VTEM survey system is very much like an airborne metal detector where the VTEM loop sends down a “ping”, and if it goes over a conductive zone of copper mineralisation, we can detect an echo using sensitive computerised detectors.

The VTEM survey system has the ability to detect massive to semi-massive copper mineralisation from surface to a depth of up to 200 metres.
