Meeka Metals Encounters New Turnberry South High-Grade Gold Zone

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Meeka Metals (ASX: MEK) has identified a new zone of shallow high-grade gold at the company’s Murchison gold project in Western Australia.

Meeka Metals reported assays from this new zone it encountered on the western side of Turnberry South at the Murchison project.

Assays from the new gold zone include:

25TBGC012
21 metres at 5.13 grams per tonne gold from 51m, including 5m at 15.65g/t gold;

25TBGC011
18m at 3.61g/t gold from 83m, including 4m at 10.85g/t gold; and

25TBGC010
11m at 4.04g/t gold from 52m, including 1m at 22.5g/t gold and 2m at 7.46g/t gold.

The company considers the width of mineralisation and high-grade achieved by the recent drilling is likely to result in an expansion of the Turnberry South stage 1 open pit design.

The company also reports new assays from the high-grade eastern side of Turnberry South.

“We had not previously intersected this high-grade gold zone on the western side of Turnberry South due to the orientation of prior drilling,” Meeka Metals managing director Tim Davidson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We are now prioritising drill delineation along strike to incorporate into an expanded grade control model and updated stage 1 open pit design.”

Warriedar Resources Achieves High Gold Recoveries at Windinne Well

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Warriedar Resources (ASX: WA8) has been busy at the company’s Golden Range Project located in the Murchison region of Western Australia.

Warriedar Resources recently conducted metallurgical testwork in the form of bottle roll leach tests on recent Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling samples taken from the project’s Windinne Well gold deposit.

The company had the test carried out on five primary gold samples (fresh rock) extracted from the Windinne Well deposit.

The results demonstrated Windinne Well primary gold mineralisation to be free milling with excellent recoveries producing an average gold recovery of 98.2 per cent, with the best result up to 99.8 per cent.

Last year, Warriedar commenced evaluating other deposits within the Golden Corridor aside from its main focus of the Ricciardo deposit.

 

Amanda Buckingham spoke with The Resources Roadhouse at the recent RIU Explorers Conference.

 

This resulted in identification of Mineral Resource growth potential from several deposits, including M1 and Windinne Well, Azure Coast and Bugeye.

This potential is set to be a key focus of Warriedar’s growth-focussed drilling at the Golden Range project during 2025.

“Warriedar’s main focus is growing its fresh rock gold resources at Golden Range, via both extension of existing deposits and targeted new discoveries along the shear,” Warriedar Resources managing director and CEO Amanda Buckingham said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“At almost one million ounces and growing, Ricciardo is our flagship deposit in this regard.

“However, we also hold other deposits within the ‘Golden Corridor’ that, by virtue of their possible free milling nature, possess the potential for more rapid, capital-lite commercialisation.

“Following our drilling and successful extension of it during 2023, and with an existing high-grade resource approaching 100,000 ounces (at 2.9 g/t Au) and further growth potential, Windinne Well is at the forefront of this complementary focus.

“We have recommenced drilling at Windinne Well, and we are excited to advance our evaluation of its potential for early mining and monetisation.”

TG Metals Acquires Advanced WA Gold Project

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) gave the market a shake this morning by announcing the acquisition of 80 per cent of the Van Uden gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals struck a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Montague Resources Australia Pty Ltd for the deal. Barto Gold Pty Ltd retains 20 per cent equity interest in the project.

The Van Uden project consists of four granted mining leases, three granted exploration licences and two miscellaneous licences (for haul roads).

The project lies to the west of the Mt Holland lithium mine, south of the operating Marvel Loch gold plant, and southeast of the Edna May gold plant, which is currently on care and maintenance.

There are two main areas of gold mineralisation in the acquisition tenement package, Van Uden Group and Gold City. These were identified by past exploration drilling by previous owners: Convergent Minerals (ASX: CVG) and Kidman Resources (ASX: KDR).

The project has historic a Minerals Resources Estimate (MRE). This estimate, however, was reported in JORC 2004 and are therefore not in accordance with the JORC Code 2012.

TG Metals will use the historical MRE to form the basis for further confirmatory drilling, extensional drilling and bulk density analysis to enable a JORC 2012 compliant MRE to be calculated.

“This strategic acquisition provides TG Metals with an advanced gold project with opportunities for near term cash flow, at a time of record prices for gold,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It is located very near to our existing Lake Johnston lithium deposits, which allows opportunities for operational synergies for both of TG’s projects.

“The Van Uden Gold Project has historically only been subject to shallow drilling, providing enormous exploration upside through testing the known mineralisation down dip along its entire plus 2,000 metres strike length.

“There are several near-term high priority opportunities, including defining a JORC 2012 mineral resource estimate from the extensive historical database, and assessing the viability of existing ore stockpiles for toll treatment.”

Blackstone Minerals Reports New Visible Gold at Mankayan Copper Gold Project

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Blackstone Minerals (ASX: BSX) reported identification of visible gold via a recently completed diamond drillhole at the Mankayan copper gold porphyry project in the Philippines.

Blackstone Minerals recently announced the intent to strike a merger of equals with IDM International that owns the Mankayan project that is situated in Northern Luzon in the Philippines.

 

Blackstone Minerals managing director Scott Williamson discusses the IDM merger with Wally Graham at the recent RIU Explorers Conference

 

A recently completed diamond drillhole at Mankayan identified visible gold located above the project’s main copper-gold porphyry system that is hosted within highly altered volcanic units that have historically been overlooked for assaying, presenting, what the company considers being, an untapped exploration opportunity.

“Following the recent announcement of Blackstone’s proposed merger with IDM, our technical team has been collaborating closely with the Mankayan team to chart a path toward unlocking the full potential of this exceptional project,” Blackstone Minerals managing director Scott Williamson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It’s incredibly exciting to see new exploration opportunities emerging already, such as the discovery of visible gold in zones that have not been historically targeted for assay.

“We eagerly anticipate finalising the merger with IDM so we can harness the collective expertise of our combined teams to drive forward the development of this world-class, high-grade copper-gold asset.

“The future for Mankayan is bright, and we are committed to realising its tremendous value.”
