Alto Metals Confirms Shallow High-Grade Sandstone Gold
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Alto Metals (ASX: AME) reported on activities to close 2021 at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.
The company achieved pleasing gold results from the Havilah‐ Maninga Marley prospect, which along with the Havilah West target makes up the Havilah Camp that is defined over a 1,500 metre strike located less than one kilometre west of the Lords Corridor.
The Havilah deposit currently has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 371,000 tonnes at 1.7 grams per tonne gold for 20,300 ounces.
The results from Havilah confirmed continuity of high‐grade mineralisation outside the current resource and remains open down plunge, and included:
SRC551
3 metres at 1.4 grams per tonne gold from 51m and 13m at 2.5g/t gold from 104m, including 1m at 21.9g/t gold from 114m;
SRC550
7m at 2g/t gold from 15m, including 1m at 8.5g/t gold from 19m and 18m at 1.7 g/t gold from 99m, including 2m at 8.1 g/t gold from 101m;
SRC546
6m at 2.1g/t gold from 27m, including 1m at 9.4g/t gold from 30m; and
SCR547
6m at 1.7g/t gold from 74m, including 1m at 7g/t gold from 79m.
“We have made a strong start to our 2022 exploration programs, with an IP survey already underway at Vanguard and a gravity survey over the Lords Corridor and Havilah, starting soon,” Alto Metals managing director Matthew Bowles said.
“RC drilling is planned to commence in the next few weeks, initially at the Lords Corridor, and we are looking forward to following up on the excellent results delivered from last years’ program with the intent of driving further resource growth and making more discoveries.”
Alto also reported on further high‐grade intercepts achieved at the Lord Henry pitttt that included the latest one‐metre resplits of previously reported four‐metre composites from RC drilling designed to test extensions of gold mineralisation.
The results continued to highlight the presence of multiple stacked lodes of high‐grade gold, within broader zones of mineralisation, that remain open to the north.
These latest results will be incorporated into the updated mineral resource estimate for Lord Henry.
