Rockfire, Exploration Drilling, Greece

Project Information

Following the approval of the EIA and Technical Study, Rockfire Resources is launching a big-scale drilling project aiming to get further information on the ore extends and grade distribution.

Meters :5,000 meters

Project Description

The Molaoi Zn/Pb/Ag project is reportedly a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit in the Peloponnese Province of Southern Greece. Exploration drilling has been focussed on a 1.5 km long strike of mineralisation. There is an additional 5.5 km strike of favourable geology, which also contains high-grade intersections in limited drilling.

The aim of this extensive drilling campaign is to provide exploration data accross the length of the deposit and infill data in the area prominent for mining in the following years.

The drilling pads were carefully selected and optimised for minimum site disturbance (drilling in terrain covered by olive oil trees).

Project Challenge

Demanding project that requires high-quality drilling and recovery techniques. First indications on the ground conditions imposes the requirement for careful drilling to cause minumum ground disturbance and avoid borehole walls collapse.
