Aruma Resources Intersects High-Grade Gold at Salmon Gums Project

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Aruma Resources (ASX: AAJ) reported further high-grade gold intersections from the company’s 100 per cent-owned Salmon Gums project, in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Aruma Resources’ latest phase of drilling comprised a targeted seven-hole diamond core drilling program, designed to follow-up and extend previous gold intersections encountered at the project’s Thistle prospect.

The company declared the latest assays from drilling at Salmon Gums to have confirmed a high-grade gold-bearing structure, results included:

SG23DD007
5.9 metres at 10.5 grams per tonne gold from 38.4m, including 2.6m at 9.85g/t gold from 38.4m and 0.85m at 40.9g/t gold from 43.4m; and

SG23DD003
3.65m at 1.25g/t gold from 42m, including 0.95m at 3.66g/t gold from 42.7m.

The company indicated it would use these results to define the next phase of field work and drilling at the Thistle prospect.

“The latest results from our ongoing exploration at the Salmon Gums project continue to deliver exceptional results and validate our exploration approach,” Aruma Resources managing director Glenn Grayson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Norseman-style mineralisation is structurally controlled and can be incredibly high-grade, and this is exactly what we are seeing at Salmon Gums, with our drilling programs continuing to deliver very high-grade gold results, which extend the high-grade mineralised zone at the project.

“Controls on this style of mineralisation are tight, making the combination of structure within the right lithology the key to exploration success.

“We will now commence planning for our next phase of drilling, to further unlock the project’s value.”
