White Cliff extends Aucu gold mineralisation

/in /by

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

The company has received assays from the latest two drill holes, which it claims to have outlined gold mineralisation along strike from previously reported mineralisation at the Aucu Lower Gold Zone (LGZ).

Gold mineralisation occurs within multiple shear zones and starts at surface with new assay results including:

19 metres at 6 grams per tonne gold, including 8m at 9g/t gold from 71m;

9m at 5g/t gold from 111 metres; and

2m at 12.56g/t gold from 78m.

White Cliff explained the new results occur along strike from previously announced results from the LGZ where the first two reverse circulation drill holes identified high-grade mineralisation within two shear zones.

“High-grade gold mineralisation at the LGZ has been identified in the four drill-holes reported to date,” White Cliff Minerals said in its ASX announcement.

“Gold mineralisation has also been identified at surface in road cuttings over a distance of 300 metres along strike.

“The current drill program has tested the LGZ over a 550 metre distance with assay results pending for several of these holes.

“Rock chip sampling along strike on the adjacent hills to the northwest and southeast has identified mineralised quartz veins and shear zones in both directions.

“The mineralised zones start at the surface, are sub-vertical, have been identified at 100m vertical depth and are open in both directions and at depth.”

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

The two systems are parallel and approximately 100m apart with mineralisation starting at the surface.

According to the company this mineralisation is high-grade and has been identified to at least 100m vertical depth in both systems and is open along strike in both directions.
