Alto Metals Drills High-Grade Gold Results From Indomitable
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Alto Metals (ASX: AME) reported new gold results from the company’s 100 per cent-owned Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.
Sandstone achieved the recent results from an ongoing drilling campaign underway at the Indomitable Camp, as part of a major drilling program for 2022.
New assay results relate to 17 RC holes drilled at Indomitable to an average downhole depth of 156m testing strike extensions of existing mineralisation along the main Indomitable trend and linking structures and the western side of the interpreted fold closure which hosts Indomitable and Indomitable North deposits.
Alto said the results had extended the overall mineralisation, both along strike and at depth producing results, including:
SRC613
29 metres at 4.4 grams per tonne gold from 29m, including 1m at 87.4g/t gold from 45m;
SRC626
15m at 3.8g/t gold from 44m, including 2m at 18g/t gold from 49m and 5m at 4.1g/t gold from 65m including 1m at 12.3g/t gold from 66m; and
SRC620
7m at 1.1g/t gold from 83m and 1m at 24.6g/t gold from 143m.
“These excellent results support our view that there is huge scope to grow the gold inventory at the Sandstone gold project,” Alto Metals managing director Matthew Bowles said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“Indomitable is continuing to consistently deliver shallow, high-grade gold results and, sitting within a plus-20 kilometre long gold corridor, we can clearly see this becoming a much larger mineralised system.”
The Indomitable deposit forms part of the Indomitable Camp, which is currently defined over a two kilometres strike length and sits within a plus-20km NW/SE trending gold corridor that also hosts the Vanguard and Havilah deposits.

Alto also reported further high-grade gold assay results from RC drilling below the Lord Nelson pit, as part of the RC drilling at Sandstone.
The latest results relate to the final ten extensional RC holes (SRC599 to SRC609) drilled at Lord Nelson as part of the first phase of drilling for 2022 completed at the Lords Corridor.
The new assays returned results, including:
SRC606
27m at 2.1g/t gold from 221m, including 10m at 3g/t gold from 222m; and
SRC607
11m at 1g/t gold from 178m.
“We are also pleased to announce the results from the first phase of 2022 drilling at the Lords Corridor having successfully extended the high-grade mineralisation at Lord Nelson, and confirmed the continuity of the recently discovered Juno lode, which remains open to the south,” Bowles continued.
“Both Indomitable and the Lords Corridor are exciting targets in their own right and we are fortunate that they are only two of a number of high-priority prospects in our overall growth pipeline, that we are systematically advancing.
“Drilling is ongoing at the Indomitable Camp, with the team focused on resource growth and new discoveries.”
