Great Boulder Resources Encounters More High-Grade Gold at Mulga Bill

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Great Boulder Resources (ASX: GBR) reported assay results from an additional thirteen Reverse Circulation (RC) holes drilled at the Mulga Bill prospect within the company’s Side Well gold project in Western Australia.

The results follow initial results Great Boulder Resources announced in May 2021 that included the newsworthy intersection of:

21MBRC002
6 metres at 31.2 grams per tonne gold from 130m, including 1m at 136g/t gold from 132m.

Great Boulder declared that its recent drilling efforts in the central Mulga Bill area had highlighted two sub-parallel, high-grade lodes with meaningful strike potential.

The company explained that gold intersections of note encountered on the western lode line up with previous drilling over an approximate strike length of 600m, while the eastern lode has apparent continuity over 500m.

Highlights from the latest drilling include:

21MBRC010
16m at 5.52g/t gold from 84m and 8m at 4.06g/t gold from 132m – within a broad mineralised zone of 68m at 2.05g/t gold from 80m;

21MBRC016
8m at 7.51g/t gold from 68m; and

21MBRC013
8m at 4.67g/t gold from 124m, including 4m at 8.52g/t gold from 124m.

“These are more great results from Mulga Bill,” Great Boulder Resources managing director Andrew Paterson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It’s particularly exciting that these hits line up with results from historic drilling, so we’re starting to see strong continuity on two lodes in the central area of the prospect.

“Our previous AC targeting programs defined similar trends to the north and south of this area which are yet to be drilled with RC.

“There’s a lot of scope for more discoveries at Mulga Bill.

“We have another RC program commencing soon at Whiteheads, and we’ll be back on the ground for more drilling at Side Well shortly after that.”

Great Boulder indicated it is waiting on assays from a remaining 13 RC holes that it expects will help confirm continuity on these lodes, which will be further tested by future RC programs.

Legend Mining Encounters More Mawson Massive Nickel-Copper Sulphide

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Legend Mining (ASX: LEG) reported latest results from an ongoing diamond drilling program at the Mawson nickel-copper-cobalt prospect within the company’s Rockford project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia.

Legend Mining reported on nine further diamond drillholes to have been completed at the Mawson prospect (RKDD045 – RKDD053).

Drillhole RKDD053 intersected a 31.2 metres sulphide zone, including 16.1m of massive and semi-massive nickel-copper sulphide, and 7.77m matrix nickel-copper sulphide.

Other holes drilled – RKDD046/049/051 also intersected wide sulphide zones, which the company has interpreted to have extended a prospective intrusion.

“We are very pleased to announce a new zone of massive/semi massive nickel copper sulphide around holes 43 and 53,” Legend Mining managing director Mark Wilson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“With ongoing downhole EM and further drilling we expect this zone will evolve over time.

“Equally pleasing is that our strategy of systematic step out drilling continues to expand the 3D footprint of the mineralised intrusive and open up further prospective horizons for future planned drilling.”

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Alchemy Resources (ASX: ALY) declared at the completion of a 27 hole Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Karonie gold project, east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Alchemy Resources conducted the drilling in order to test high priority ‘Karonie’ style targets immediately along strike to the north and south of Silver Lake Resources’ Aldiss Mining Centre.

The drilling included five holes at the Parmelia prospect, targeting the strike extensions and down dip extents of previously encountered intercepts.

He recent drilling intersected zones of silica altered dolerites with variable levels sulphides and quartz veining.

At the Warrior prospect four holes targeted a coincident Electro Magnetic and Gravity anomaly, intersecting silica altered dolerites and black shales with quartz veining and sulphides.

Nine holes at the KZ5 prospect targeted the up/down dip and along strike extension of the zones of existing mineralisation, hitting variably altered dolerites with zones of sulphides and quartz veining close to the interpreted strike extension locations.

The Taupo prospect also received nine holes targeting infill and extension of the two primary lodes of mineralisation along strike from previous drilling.

Drilling intercepted zones of altered dolerites, quartz veining and sulphides in proximity to the interpreted strike extension locations.

The company is now waiting on assays with future drilling to be planned subject to results.

Estrella Resources Encounters Further Massive Nickel-Copper Sulphides at Carr Boyd

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Estrella Resources (ASX: ESR) has further enhanced the T5 discovery at the company’s Carr Boyd project, north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Estrella Resources announced the intersection of 12.25 metres of sulphides, including massive nickel-copper-iron sulphide, further confirming mineralised accumulations on the T5 basal contact at the Carr Boyd project.

Hole CBDD049A was the second diamond tail drilled by one of the two drilling rigs the company has on site.

The hole entered a position below the recently announced diamond drill hole CBD0048 that intersected 12.9m of nickel-copper-iron sulphides.

Hole CBDD049A is 40m south of the T5 discovery drill hole CBDD030 the company drilled in October 2020.

“The discovery of further massive sulphide accumulations on a basal contact position is very important to developing Carr Boyd as a significant nickel-copper sulphide project,” Estrella Resources managing director Chris Daws said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Our exploration model is continually being refined and vectoring in towards further massive sulphide discoveries remains our immediate focus.

“Our drilling hit rate is increasing with our knowledge and our team should be commended for their efforts.

“We have not lost sight of the fact that T5 is only one area in a much larger magmatic system, and that other trap-sites for nickel-copper sulphides have historically been identified within the Carr Boyd Intrusive Complex.

“We will be pressing on with exploration of all these areas in due course.”

St George Mining hits Nickel-Copper Sulphides Downwind of MAD199

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: St George Mining (ASX: SGQ) has continued to produce promising exploration results at the company’s high-grade Mt Alexander project in the north-eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

St George drilled hole MAD201 as a large step-out from the 10.96 metres of nickel-copper sulphides that had previously been encountered by discovery hole MAD199.

MAD201 was drilled to test for extension of mineralisation at depth and intersected a 16m thick intrusive unit from 421m downhole that included a 2.4m interval of nickel-copper sulphides from 434.6m downhole.

MAD201 is the first step-out hole from MAD199 with mineralisation open in all directions.

“The mineralised intersection in MAD201 is an excellent result for the large step-out from the MAD199 discovery as it has identified a potential 125 metres down-plunge extent of mineralisation,” St George Mining executive chairman John Prineas said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The strong EM conductors identified from the downhole EM survey in MAD201 further support the likelihood of additional mineralisation being present in this area.

“Our systematic exploration approach of the large intrusive mineral system at the Cathedrals Belt is now delivering tangible breakthrough results.

“We are confident that further drilling will continue to grow the footprint of high-grade mineralisation at the Cathedrals Belt coinciding with strong capital markets focus on identifying the next generation of nickel sulphides supplies.”

Kin Mining Scores Impressive Assays from First-Pass Mt Flora Drilling

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) reported an encounter with zones of shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation via a recently completed air-core (AC) drilling program at the Mount Flora prospect, located 20 kilometres from the company’s 100 per cent-owned 1.23 million ounce Cardinia Gold Project (CGP) near Leonora in Western Australia.

Kin Mining said the results have rapidly elevated the Mount Flora prospect as a priority for the company’s exploration team.

Results included:

MF21AC522
22 metres at 8.96 grams per tonne gold from 24m, including 8m at 21g/t gold from 32m;

MF21AC525
8m at 2.79g/t gold from 28m;

MF21AC432
8m at 2.47g/t gold from 16m;

MF21AC427
13m at 0.97g/t gold from 20m; and

MF21AC523
12m at 0.95g/t gold from 0m.

“These are spectacular results for air-core drilling which have rapidly elevated Mount Flora as a high priority for our exploration team,” Kin Mining managing director Andrew Munckton said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It’s not often you hit 22 metres at nine grams per tonne, including eight metres at 21 grams per tonne in the very first pass of shallow air-core drilling in a new area.

“Together with the encouraging results returned from other holes across the prospect, this is clearly an area which demands rapid follow-up!

“Mount Flora formed part of the original Kin Mining IPO but has had relatively little exploration attention given our focus on the main deposits at Cardinia.

“The area hosts numerous historic workings but has barely been touched since limited RAB drilling by Sons of Gwalia in the 1980s.

“Given its strategic location within economic haulage distance of the Cardinia Project, we will be pushing hard to get more drilling in to this area as quickly as possible.”

Cazaly Resources Busy at Halls Creek Copper Project

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Cazaly Resources (ASX: CAZ) has been able to beat the pack and secure the services of a drilling contractor and geophysical ground crews to bring forward planned work at the company’s Halls Creek copper project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Cazaly Resources will commence drilling a ten-hole program consisting RC holes and pre-collars before changing to finalise some holes with diamond core.

The drilling is planned to initially test a strong downhole EM (DHEM) conductor and other down dip and along strike targets for undiscovered mineralisation previously defined at the Mount Angelo North prospect.

Drilling will also test possible strike extensions of VMS mineralisation to the north of the deposit, including testing a previously defined highly chargeable IP anomaly.

Additionally, Cazaly has engaged a geophysical crew working in the region nearby that is expected to kick off ground EM surveys that hope to identify deep conductors within the immediate footprint of the Mount Angelo VMS system by testing below the main known copper-zinc mineralisation and exploring the mineralised stratigraphic sequence along strike to the north of the Mount Angelo copper-zinc deposit.

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Venture Minerals (ASX: VMS) is looking to take advantage of current high tin prices and has commenced drilling at the company’s Mount Lindsay tin-tungsten asset in Tasmania.

Mount Lindsay is already classified by the Australian Government as a Critical Mineralsthat Venture Minerals has further enhanced by the identifying several high priority Renison style tin drill targets via a recently completed major EM Survey.

The Mount Lindsay tin-tungsten project contains one of the largest undeveloped tin deposits in the world, containing in excess of 80,000 tonnes of tin metal.

The Mount Lindsay target is along strike to the high-grade Renison Bell tin mine and is supported by a historic alluvial tin field and coincidental electromagnetic (EM), magnetic and geochemical anomalies.

Enture Minerals’ timing is on the money with tin currently recognised as a fundamental metal to the battery revolution and new technology and the International Tin Association predicting a surge in demand driven by the lithium-ion battery market of up to 60,000 tonnes per annum by 2030.

“With record Tin Prices it’s a great time to be drilling our recently identified High Priority Tin Target along strike to Renison Bell, one of the world’s largest and highest-grade tin mines,” Venture Minerals managing director Andrew Radonjic said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Tin is a critical EV metal and the discovery of another tin deposit will only add to the highly credential Mount Lindsay tin-tungsten project, which already contains one of the largest undeveloped tin deposits in the world.

“Mount Lindsay has the potential to become flagship asset for the company and once developed could supply responsibly sourced tin to the EV revolution.”
