Image encouraged by Erayinia JV drilling

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Image Resources has conducted a program of wide-spaced reconnaissance aircore drilling on 125 square kilometres of tenements the company holds at the Erayinia Joint Venture, located 160 kilometres southeast of Kalgoorlie.

According to Image the drilling identified an area of broad gold anomalism at Zone A.

Results from the drilling include:

–    8m at 0.80 grams per tonne gold from 44m;

–    4m at 0.50% g/t gold from 20m;

–    4m at 0.24 g/t gold from 32m; and

–    1m at 0.21 g/t gold from 51m.

The 100 per cent-owned Image tenements are held in Joint Venture with ASX-listed gold producer Integra Mining.

The tenements form part of Integra’s Aldiss gold project situated 60km southeast of its Randall’s gold processing facility.

Under the terms of the joint venture Integra may earn a 70 per cent interest in the tenements by spending $750,000.

“The Zone A gold trend extends for at least three kilometres into Image’s tenements and forms part of a broader zone, the Admiral Trend, extending for a further five kilometres into Integra’s adjacent tenements,” Image Resources explained in its ASX announcement.

“The geology comprises a sequence of mafic and andesitic volcanics, sediments and granite below complex regolith cover.

“Integra is planning a program of follow up drilling in Zone A and soil sampling of other target areas on the Image tenements.”

Image said it had been encouraged by the results achieved so far by this early stage exploration.
