White Cliff defines further gold mineralisation at Aucu

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: White Cliff Minerals (ASX: WCN) has encountered further high-grade gold mineralisation at the Aucu prospect within the company’s Chanach project in the Kyrgyz Republic.

According to the company the latest results are adjacent to previous reported mineralisation at the Lower Gold Zone (LGZ).

The drilling has indicated gold mineralisation occurs within multiple shear zones and starts at surface.

Assay results include:

6 metres at 8.6 grams per tonne gold, including 1m at 21.9g/t from 95m;

9m at 1.73g/t gold from 68m; and

15m at 1g/t gold from 80m.

White Cliff explained the new results were achieved adjacent to previously announced results from the LGZ where the first six reverse circulation drill holes identified high-grade mineralisation within two shear zones.

“High grade gold mineralisation at the LGZ has been identified in seven drill-holes and at surface in road cuttings over a distance of 300 metres along strike,” White Cliff Minerals said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The new results have identified that portions of the mineralised system now appear to be related to the intersection of the vertical NNW trending major shear zones and intrusive mineralised felsic porphyries.

“North-south faulting appears to have offset mineralisation such that four holes only intersected minor or trace mineralisation.

“Further drilling will be required to identify the location of the offset mineralisation however, rock chip sampling along strike on the adjacent hills to the northwest and southeast has identified mineralised quartz veins and shear zones.

“This suggests that although offset, mineralisation extends along strike in both directions.”

White Cliff said it has now confirmed high-grade gold mineralisation occurs within both the copper-gold Zone (CGZ) and the Lower Gold Zone (LGZ).

The two mineralised systems are parallel and approximately 100m apart.

Mineralisation starts at the surface and has been identified to at least 100m vertical depth in both systems and is open along strike in both directions.
