TG Metals Stockpile Drilling at Van Uden Gold Project

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX:TG6) has commenced stockpile drilling at the company’s Van Uden gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals has commenced drilling using a sonic core drill rig targeting remnant stockpiles from previous mining activities.

The company explained its aim with this drilling is to determine the gold grades of the stockpiles and provide sufficient sample for metallurgical testwork.

The drill program is expected to take 10 days to complete followed by a further four weeks of sample analysis and testing.

Four stockpile areas will be tested, two each at the historical Dieman and Tasman pit locations.

Preparations for an initial mining proposal have also commenced with consultants engaged and discussions have commenced with toll milling options in the region.

An update of the project’s 2012 JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is underway and expected to be finalised in the first week of June.

“We are advancing the development of the Van Uden gold project, concentrating on easy wins such as the treatment of historic stockpiles initially,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“When the updated MRE is finalised we can then move onto further development stages around exploiting in-pit gold mineralisation sources.

“This is an exciting time for the company as we transition to being a mine developer, particularly at a time of high gold prices.

“The surface and shallow mineralisation at Van Uden together with access to major roads is a distinct advantage for rapid development.”

Flynn Gold Confirms Grenadier Prospect High-Grade Gold Vein System

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) has confirmed a new quartz vein system extending over a strike length of at least 300 metres at the Grenadier prospect within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Golden Ridge project in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold initially identified the Grenadier prospect via soil sampling that was followed by rock chip sampling campaigns.

A recent trenching program at Grenadier comprised six trenches, resulting in the exposure of a quartz-sulphide vein of note (G2 Vein) and extending the known strike length of the Grenadier vein system by a further 190m to the northeast.

Mineralisation at Grenadier has now been defined over at total strike length of at least 300m trending to the northeast.

“These latest trenching results from the Grenadier prospect have significantly upgraded the prospectivity of this area,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“With the support of Mineral Resources Tasmania we have moved quickly to collect a 10-tonne bulk sample to facilitate initial metallurgical testwork.

“This latest discovery of a major mineralised vein system extending over a total strike length of over 300m is the widest and longest mineralised vein system uncovered to date.

“It is an exciting new development for Flynn Gold.

“Not only have we excavated across the vein strike in several trenches, but we have also opened up a trench along the vein – with sampling of the vein length yielding consistent assays of up to 11.8 grams/tonne gold.

“We look forward to now moving ahead with an initial drilling campaign at Grenadier to enhance our understanding of the local geology as well as extending our exploration activities into adjacent areas.

“The Grenadier prospect is not included in our Exploration Target for the Golden Ridge project and offers substantial upside.”

Aurumin Drills High-Grade Johnson Range Gold

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Aurumin (ASX: AUN) reported gold assay results from recent RC drilling carried out at the company’s Johnson Range gold project in Western Australia

Aurimin conducted the RC drilling on the Gwendolyn deposit, being the first drilling at Johnson Range since 2013 designed to infill and validate the project’s existing 64,700 ounce at 2.5 grams per tonne gold Inferred Mineral Resource.

Assays included:

GWRC250008
6 metres at 16.5 grams per tonne gold from 65m, including 3m at 32.1g/t gold and 1m at 76.1g/t gold;

GWRC250013
7m at 9.3g/t gold from 16m, including 2m at 23.4g/t gold; and

GWRC250002
9m at 3.6g/t gold from 111m, including 2m at 13.3g/t gold.

Aurimin considers the Gwendolyn deposit a near-term development opportunity due to it hosting a current inferred JORC Mineral Resource and being located on a granted mining lease within haulage distance of multiple processing centres.

“The assay results from our first drilling program at Johnson Range in more than a decade have exceeded expectations,” Aurimin managing director Daniel Raihani said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“These high-grade intercepts confirm the strength of the Gwendolyn deposit and support a resource upgrade — a key step in positioning this asset for near-term development.

“Importantly, several of the strongest results are from shallow depths, including 7m at 9.3g/t gold from just 16m downhole.

“This highlights the potential for a low-strip, low-cost open pit mining scenario, which is particularly attractive given the current gold price environment.

“With gold trading above $5,000 per ounce, the timing is ideal to progress this asset.

“Our technical team is now advancing resource modelling and planning the next phase of drilling.

“We anticipate further news flow in the months ahead as we continue to drive Johnson Range toward development and integrate it into our broader Sandstone gold production strategy.”

Great Boulder Resources Extends Eaglehawk Deposit

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Great Boulder Resources (ASX: GBR) confirmed additional gold mineralisation from recent drilling activity at the company’s Side Well gold project near Meekatharra in Western Australia.

Great Boulder Resources conducted AC drilling that has extended the project’s Eaglehawk deposit by a further 200 metres, remaining open to the south, with results including:

25SWAC137
8 metres at 2.19 grams per tonne gold from 60m, including 4m at 4.23g/t gold from 64m.

The company is now planning further RC drilling for Eaglehawk to continue adding definition required for an initial mineral resource estimate.

“It’s really exciting to see immediate progress at Side Well South, hitting a broad intersection of shallow gold in our first RC hole,” Great Boulder Resources managing director Andrew Paterson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We’ve now confirmed primary gold mineralisation on two of the initial AC discoveries announced earlier in the year, with assays pending from another 16 RC holes.

“Side Well South is shaping up as an important target for future resource growth at the project. Our initial AC program intersected gold in four new areas with geological settings analogous to our Ironbark and Saltbush deposits, which is very promising.

“We also have several large, coherent geochemical targets further south in the Tal Val area that are yet to be drill tested.

“Our AC drilling in the central corridor has extended the Eaglehawk deposit by approximately 200m, and it still remains open to the north.

“We also drilled six AC holes into the Mulga Bill East area – which hasn’t been drilled for two years – and found more gold along that trend, so there will be more follow-up work in both areas.”

Kali Metals Expands Pilbara Gold Project

/in , /by

THE BOURSE WHISPERER: Kali Metals (ASX: KM1) has expanded the tenement landholding at the company’s Marble Bar gold project in Western Australia.

Kali Metals increased its tenure by 28.8 square kilometres by inking a binding agreement to acquire tenement E45/6389.

The company explained the new acquisition borders its existing tenure on three sides taking the total project area to approx. 96sqkm.

Of note, the new tenement lies immediately north and along strike of Kali’s previously announced 9.5km long gold-in-soil anomaly where it achieved rock chip results of up to 4 grams per tonne gold.

Based on exploration it has undertaken to date, Kali is optimistic that the mineralisation trend extends into the new tenement.

“Kali is very pleased to have finalized negotiations to acquire exploration licence E45/6389,” Kali Metals managing director Paul Adams said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“With gold prices reaching record highs in April, Kali is maintaining a key focus on the gold prospectivity of its 100 per cent-owned Marble Bar Project in the Pilbara.

“This new acquisition bolsters Kali’s landholding in this highly prospective gold region, which includes the operating Warrawoona / Klondyke Gold Project.

“The strategic rationale for the acquisition is not only that our exploration team is hopeful our 9.5km gold-in-soil anomaly continues into this new tenement, but also that it makes Kali’s entire Marble Bar Project contiguous, which has obvious advantages for exploration access and efficiency.

“The company is also looking forward to releasing the results of its most extensive rock chip program conducted at our Marble Bar Project to date, which saw the team collect an impressive 299 rock chips.

“We hope to announce those assay results in the coming weeks.”

Lincoln Minerals Scores 99.97% TGC Purity on Kookaburra Graphite

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Lincoln Minerals (ASX: LML) reported testwork results from the company’s Kookaburra graphite project (KGP) in South Australia.

Lincoln Minerals carried out test work related to its Battery Anode Material (BAM) Scoping Study, which it claims to have confirmed graphite purified from the KGP meets the stringent specifications required for use in lithium-ion battery (LiB) anodes.

Multiple test runs at two independent laboratories in Australia achieved purity levels above 99.95 per cent total graphitic carbon (TGC) – the industry benchmark for battery grade anode material.

The level of purification was achieved without the use of hydrofluoric acid (HF) – supporting a development path with safety and environmental benefits.

The company declared the results validate the quality of Kookaburra Graphite and provide a strong foundation for the ongoing BAM Scoping Study, which is focused on optimising the purification process, assessing key product characteristics, and exploring value-added opportunities to support a potential downstream processing facility in South Australia.

“We are extremely pleased with these outstanding initial results, particularly the achievement of battery grade purity levels without the use of hydrofluoric acid,” Lincoln Minerals CEO Jonathon Trewartha said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“This not only reduces the cost and complexity typically associated with anode material production but also increases major safety and environmental benefits – aligning strongly with modern ESG and clean-technology standards.

“These findings represent a major step forward in our Battery Anode Material Scoping Study and provide a strong technical foundation for the next phase of optimisation and product qualification.

“Importantly, they also build on the compelling economics outlined in our recently released Pre-Feasibility Study for the Kookaburra Graphite Project, which was based solely on direct concentrate sales.

“The ability to produce high-value anode material and other specialty graphite products has the potential to significantly enhance project returns and position Lincoln as a key player in the global graphite and battery materials supply chain.”
