Kin Mining Achieves High-Grades from Leonora Diamond Drilling

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) announced a series of high-grade diamond core intersections from recent drilling carried out within the company’s Leonora gold project (LGP) in Western Australia.

Kin Mining explained the main objective of the diamond drilling to be to enable the company to establish final geotechnical and metallurgical parameters for the soon to be completed Ore Reserves.

A total of 19 diamond holes were completed, with several geotechnical holes extended below the proposed pit designs to test for extensions of primary gold mineralisation at depth.

Highlights included:

CA17DD011 
18.7 metres at 3.1 grams per tonne gold from 61.4m, including two high-grade zones of 0.35m at 73.4g/t gold and 0.35m at 24.1g/t gold

CA17DD007 
1.8m at 6.3g/t gold from 55.5m, including 0.5m at 19.7g/t gold

ME17DD002 
7.95m at 4.2g/t gold from 114m including 0.3m at 64.8g/t gold

CA17DD001 
2.4m at 8.5g/t gold from 40.3m including 0.3m at 20.1g/t gold

RA17DD003 
0.77m at 13.2g/t gold from 69.7m including 0.3m at 31.5g/t gold

RA17DD004 
11.45m at 3.7 g/tgold from 14.25m including 1.25m at 24.6g/t gold

“These results confirm that high-grade mineralisation persists at depth and that these deposits remain open and are yet to be fully defined,” Kin Mining managing director Don Harper said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The diamond core has given a greater understanding of the structure and style of mineralisation of our key deposits and we plan to follow-up on these results very shortly.”
