Trafford begin drilling at $8.5m project

Perth-based mineral explorer Trafford Resources has commenced a major lead-zinc exploration program in South Australia's Gawler Craton in joint Venture with zinc producer Zinifex.

Drilling has begun at the Stuart advanced lead/zinc exploration target within the Wilcherry Hill Project, 50 kms north of Kimba, South Australia, as phase 1 of an $8.5 million joint venture which could give Zinifex a share of up to 75% in the project.

The western end of the large Stuart anomaly is only 4 kms from the 3.8 million tonne Menninnie Dam lead/zinc resource recently reported by the Terramin/Zinifex Joint Venture.
