Blackstone Minerals (ASX: BSX) managing director Scott Williamson joins Small Caps to discuss the company's early successes at the new Mankayan copper and gold project in the Philippines.

Just over two months after acquiring Mankayan, the company has unveiled promising historic assay results from the deepest hole drilled at the project.

The previously unreleased significant intercept included a highlight 1.25% copper equivalent hit at 432m.

The results from the hole drilled in 2013 by Goldfields were identified by Blackstone in its early assessments of Mankayan.

Blackstone’s study of the project has led the company to assess Mankayan as one of the best undeveloped copper-gold projects globally.

Notably, Mankayan remains open at depth and along strike to the north and Blackstone is preparing to quickly follow-up that potential.

Mankayan's development will be supported by Blackstone’s extensive experience in base metals mine development, particularly in Southeast Asia.
