Renaissance unwraps Kirgella’s Gift

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Perth-based gold exploration company Renaissance Minerals has announced results from a recent drilling program undertaken at the company’s Pinjin gold project in the Eastern Goldfields tenement package in Western Australia.

Renaissance’s Eastern Goldfields tenement area is situated between Integra Mining’s Randall’s, Maxwell’s and Santa gold deposits to the south and Saracen Minerals’s Carosue Dam gold operation in the northern area of the tenement package.

The company carried out a program of Reverse Circulation drilling at the Kirgella’s Gift prospect to follow up previously received intersections, which included 33 metres at 3.10 grams per tonne gold from 51 metres.

A total of ten holes were drilled in the recent raft of drilling with all holes intersecting gold mineralisation.

In its ASX announcement the company said the drilling had intersected multiple zones of higher grade mineralisation within broad mineralised zones.

Shallow mineralisation was also intersected along 250 metres of strike at Kirgella’s Gift, which Renaissance said remains open to the north and the south.

The recent drilling increases the already significant shear hosted mineralisation intersected at Kirgella’s Gift.

Results received so far from drilling at Kirgella’s Gift include:

– 33 metres at 3.10 grams per tonne gold from 51 metres;

– 32m at 2.61g/t gold from 13m;

– 22m at 1.74g/t gold from 12m;

– 12m at 2.96g/t gold from 73m;

– 8m at 2.04g/t gold from 126m; and

– 4m at 3.84g/t gold from 104m.

Renaissance said it has been encouraged by the drilling results at the Pinjin gold project and has further drilling that is scheduled to commence in September.

This drilling is designed to test the strike extent potential of Kirgella’s Gift and to test similar structural targets along strike which have had no previous effective bedrock drilling.

To date less than 10 per cent of the Kirgella package has been tested with effective bedrock drilling.
