The drilling consisted of nine reverse circulation (RC) holes and one diamond hole.

Trafford explained the results replace the preliminary results from three metre composite samples it reported earlier this year with each three metre composite being split into individual one metre samples for more specific analysis.

The results returned consistent high-grade intercepts including:

12.3 metres at 1.1 per cent tin in 13ZLDH001 from 119 metres, including 2 metres at 1.97 per cent tine from 125 metres and 1.3 metres at 4.81 per cent tin from 130 metres;

10m at 0.78 per cent tin in 14ZLRC004 from 130m, including 4m at 1.33 per cent tin from 131m;

2m at 1.12 per cent tin in 14ZLRC005 from 44m;

2m at 1.17 per cent tin in 14ZLRC008 from 44m; and

1m at 1.34 per cent tin in 14ZLRC009 from 121m.

Broad, near surface zones identified included:

47m at 0.32 per cent tin from 31m in 14ZLRC005, including 7m at 0.47 per cent tin from 31m and 7m at 0.66 per cent tin from 42m; and

20m at 0.25 per cent tin from 43m in 14ZLRC008, including 4m at 0.74 per cent tin from 31m.

“Drilling continues to produce intersections of potentially economic tin grades suitable for both open cut and underground extraction,” Trafford Resources said in its ASX announcement.

“It has defined a strike length of over 300 metres to a minimum vertical depth of approximately 130 metres.

“The extent of the body remains open in all directions.

“Preliminary wireframe modelling of the tin mineralisation at Zealous demonstrates the potential robustness of the mineralisation – which is highlighted by the fact that eight of the seventeen holes drilled to date have intersected high grade (greater than 1 per cent) tin.”

According to Trafford the drilling at Zealous has produced an impressive total of forty four plus-0.5 per cent tin intercepts and twenty six plus-one per cent tin intercepts in eight holes.

In addition to the high-grade intercepts, seven holes have identified broad, continuous intersections with widths greater than 10m above a cut off of 0.1 per cent tin.
