Aruma Resources Claims High-Grade Gold Discovery at Salmon Gums Project
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Aruma Resources (ASX: AAJ) has claimed a new high-grade gold discovery at the company’s Salmon Gums gold project, near Norseman in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Aruma Resources reported confirmation of the new discovery via a maiden wide-spaced reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at Salmon Gums that intersected high-grade gold results, including:
SGRC39
5m at 50.2 grams per tonne gold from 42m in hole, including 3m at 83g/t gold from 42m and 1m at 224g/t gold from 44m; and
SCRC33
4m at 4.26g/t gold from 105m (EOH) in hole, including 1m at 13.35g/t gold from 108m.
The recent drilling at Salmon Gums entailed 72 wide-spaced holes across an interpreted strike length of 20 kilometres.
The program encountered quartz vein gold and lode style gold, resulting in the new high-grade gold discovery, which Aruma said was consistent with its sediment-hosted gold exploration model.
“These bonanza and high-grade gold intersections clearly demonstrate the Salmon Gums project’s potential to host multiple high-grade gold quartz vein and lode style orebodies similar to the high-grade Norseman and Scotia deposits, situated directly along strike in the same stratigraphy,” Aruma Resources managing director Peter Schwann said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“That we have been able to define this discovery in our very first-phase of what was a wide-spaced drilling program at Salmon Gums is testament to the company’s sediment-hosted gold model and the prospectivity of the project area, and it highlights the further upside potential to be derived from our next phase of drilling.”
