Robust intersects wider zone of mineralization at Romang project

ASX-listed Robust Resources Limited said it has drilled LWD166 well to test the north-eastern extensions of the Batu Mas mineralization, located within the Lakuwahi project area on Romang Island in eastern Indonesia.

It said LWDI66 intersected the thickest continuous zone of mineralization so far encountered on Roman? Island.

The upper section of LWD166 is rich in silver and gold and results include 106.3m@ 1.0l g/t Au Equivalent (0.36 g/t Au, 31 g/t Ag) from 8 meters.

Underlying and partially overlapping this upper section is a well mineralized and very thick base metal-rich breccia body which includes higher-grade zones as follows:

- 136 meters @ 1.36% Cu Equivalent (0.22 g/t Au, 21 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu, 1.23% Pb, 1.88% Zn) from 59m including:

- 50 meters @2.14% Cu Equivalent (0.23 g/t Au, 35 g/t Ag, 0.27% Cu, 1.77% Pb, 3.29% Zn) from 73 meters including:

- l0 meters @ 3.60% Cu Equivalent (0.27 g/t Au, 63 g/t Ag, 0.56% Cu, 3.10% Pb, 5.13% Zn) from 73 meters.

These exceptional results confirm that Batu Mas is open to the east and at depth and represents a new direction for further exploration, the company said.

It noted that this result does not occur in isolation. Previously reported hole LWD111 was collared 60 meters to the south-west of LWD166 and it also intersected very thick (198 meters also bottoming in mineralization) and continuous, highly mineralized breccia, including a copper-rich zone at 23m of 1.05% Cu. Other nearby holes in the area had also reported ?excellent intersections?, the company said.

?These are highly encouraging results and reinforce the fact that the Lakuwahi system at Romang is of significant scale. It confirms also that it still remains highly prospective and underexplored,? Robust?s Managing Director Gary Lewis said. (romel)
