Breaker Resources drilling links Lake Roe discoveries

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Breaker Resources (ASX: BRB) has encountered more wide, shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation from reconnaissance reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the company’s Lake Roe project, 100 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie.

Breaker Resources claims the drilling effectively links the Bombora and Bombora North discoveries, establishing a continuous 2.2km-long zone of gold mineralisation that is open along strike.

The drill results come from two 200m-spaced drill lines, which close a previously untested 600m gap between the Bombora and Bombora North gold discoveries.

Gold was intersected on each of the two drill lines tested with highlights including:

BBRC0076
28 m at 1.36 grams per tonne gold from 60m, including 20m at 1.81g/t gold or 10m at 2.44g/t gold;

BBRC0077
17m at 1.52g/t gold from 76m, including 5m at 2.05g/t gold;

BBRC0078
10m at 2.12g/t gold from 92m, including 5m at 3.86g/t gold or 1m at 13.49g/t gold;

BBRC0079
12m at 1.03g/t gold from 4m and 12m at 0.83g/t gold from 44m; and

BBRC0081
20m at 0.9g/t gold from 44m, including 8m at 1.77g/t gold or 2m at 6.16g/t gold.

“These results confirm that Lake Roe is a significant greenfields gold discovery,” Breaker Resources executive chairman Tom Sanders said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The quality of the results given the reconnaissance nature of the drilling is unusual.

“The widths combined with a strike length of 2.2 kilometres highlights the scope for a large-tonnage open pit resource and there is good potential to increase this strike length further.

“In addition, the presence of high-grade gold in each RC drill program to date, in conjunction with the sulphide lode-style of mineralisation, also indicates significant underground mining potential.

“Our focus is now on preparations for resource delineation, which will start in December 2016.

“A second RC drill rig has now commenced with the objective of extending the Bombora North discovery along the 2.2 kilometre corridor to the north and evaluating other high priority drill targets outlined by our aircore drilling.

“The two drill rigs will provide strong news flow over the coming weeks and months and will help us to build a clear picture of the size of this discovery.”
