Zeta Resources (ASX:ZER) has identified a copper sulphide target that could extend for at least five kilometres from drilling at its Ilgarari Copper Project in Western Australia.

One of three diamond drill holes intersected 4 metres grading 1.06% copper including 1 metre at 3.6% copper in chalcopyrite mineralisation within the Ilgarari fault at a depth of 450 metres.

The Ilgarari shear, which can be traced on air magnetic images extends for at least five kilometres to the north east of the Ilgarari workings.

It is completely untested and is covered by 8 - 10 metres of weathered carbonaceous siltstones that is conducive to the formation of secondary copper mineralisation.

Down hole electromagnetic surveys are now planned to see if there is any mineralisation proximal to the diamond drill holes which may be indicative of major structures.

A range of geophysical surveys are also under consideration to assist in identifying the location of the Mt Vernon fault zones to fully test the geological concept.

In addition, Zeta is designing an exploration drilling program to test the potential of the secondary copper target identified along the Ilgarari shear zone.
