Conico locks onto more Callisto extensions

Conico has struck heavily disseminated and semi-massive sulphides in four more drill holes at the company's 50-50 owned Mt Thirsty joint venture with Greenstone Resources less than 200m south from Galileo Mining's newfound Callisto deposit. Five diamond drill holes for 1650m are now complete as part of an ongoing phase I drill campaign testing for extensions to the recent palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel discovery 16km north-west of Norseman in WA.

Conico, Greenstone eye Callisto extension after drill hit

The share price of mineral explorer Conico spiked 31 per cent during intraday trading this afternoon on the back of news of a 65m intercept of disseminated sulphides at its Mt Thirsty joint venture just 400m south of ASX-listed Galileo Mining's recent Callisto discovery near Norseman in WA. With the assays expected within six weeks, there is a sense Conico and JV partner Greenstone Resources could have bagged an attractive extension.

Conico chases Galileo discovery into Mt Thirsty ground

After a recent high-profile multi-metal discovery only 200m from its boundary, Conico Limited has quickly seized the bit by booking a multi-purpose diamond and reverse circulation drill rig for a maiden, 5000m program on its Mt Thirsty project in search of platinum group metals 16km north-northwest of Norseman in WA. The company will also kick off a geological review in the wake of its neighbour's find.
