Alto Metals Extends High Grade Gold Mineralisation at Juno

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Alto Metals continued drilling at the company’s Sandstone gold project in Western Australia has intersected further high-grade gold mineralisation at the Juno deposit.

Juno is a recently discovered extension of the mineralised zone below the project’s Lord Nelson pit, which now extends for over a kilometre and remains open, both along strike and down dip.

Juno is the second new lode Alto has discovered within the Lords Corridor, from step-out drilling testing the strike and plunge extensions of the Lord Nelson footwall and hanging wall lodes, following the discovery of the high-grade Orion Lode.

New assay results include:

SRC590
9 metres at 3.8 grams per tonne gold from 157m, including 5m at 5g/t gold from 160m;

SRC586
7m at 4.4g/t gold from 163m;

SRC593
12m at 2.1g/t gold from 160m, including 1m at 12.4g/t gold from 169m;

SRC589
17m at 1.6g/t gold from 159m, including 3m at 6.3g/t gold from 171m; and

SRC585
10m at 1.3g/t gold from 140m, including 5m at 2.1g/t gold from 144m.

“These latest results from the recently discovered Juno Lode continue to deliver significant high-grade intercepts,” Alto Metals managing director Matthew Bowles said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Drilling focused on testing the dip and strike of existing mineralisation within the granodiorite damage zone and along the contact of the ultramafic footwall.

“The results have successfully extended the mineralisation at Juno, demonstrating the potential to continue growing this deposit.

“Further results from drilling at the Lords Corridor are still pending, including the follow up RC hole testing the down-dip extension to SRC576 which returned 67 metres at 2.3 grams per tonne gold.

“These results are expected to received shortly.

“Our next phase of drilling at Indomitable Camp is progressing well, as we continue to focus on growing resources and look forward to sharing assay results from this drilling campaign in the coming weeks and months ahead.”

Azure Minerals Encounters Early Gold Hits at Barton

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) has encountered healthy gold results from exploration drilling carried out at the Daisy Corner prospect within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Barton project in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Daisy Corner is in the Kookynie Gold District just 300 metres north of Genesis Minerals’ Puzzle North gold deposit.

Azure’s first drilling program on the Barton project comprised 21 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes targeting northern mineralised extensions of the Puzzle North gold deposit and tested 800m of the prospective granite-greenstone contact to the northwest of the Azure-Genesis tenement boundary.

Azure has interpreted the assays it has received to indicate the mineralised system identified at Puzzle North continues into Azure’s tenement with gold mineralisation intersected in most holes.

Results include:

BTRC0002
4 metres at 0.68 grams per tonne gold from 31m downhole;

BTRC0009
10m at 0.44g/t gold from 55m downhole;

BTRC0010
10m at 0.52g/t gold from 39m downhole, including 1m at 3.98g/t gold from 46m downhole and 8m at 0.59g/t gold from 127m downhole;

BTRC0014
5m at 0.92g/t gold from 1m downhole, including 1m at 3.44g/t gold from 42m downhole and 3m at 0.63g/t gold from 54m downhole; and

BTRC0020
20m at 0.43g/t gold from 17m downhole.

“Given the early exploration stage of the Barton project we’re encouraged to have intersected widespread gold mineralisation in our first drilling program,” Azure Minerals managing director Tony Rovira said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Surface exploration is continuing, with geophysical surveys and more drilling to be undertaken over the course of this year.”

Hammer Metals intersects Sulphides at Ajax East

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Hammer Metals (ASX: HMX) returned home from the 2022 RIU Sydney Resources Roundup to results from initial drilling undertaken at the at the recently discovered Ajax East prospect within the company’s Mt Isa exploration portfolio in north-west Queensland.

Hammer Metals reported the drilling encountered a six-metre interval of stringer sulphide mineralisation (including pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite) within a 30m zone of highly altered metasediments, corresponding with the modelled EM conductor at approx. 290m down-hole.

Copper intersections included:

HMLVRC019
14m at 0.21 per cent copper from 42m (with noteworthy amounts of pyrrhotite present in the interval); and

HMLVRC019
1m at 1.52 per cent copper from 88m.

The company considers the presence of such a sulphide horizon at Ajax East to have upgraded the target, interpreting the results to demonstrate the active sulphide system may have potential to host economic zones of chalcopyrite mineralisation.

A follow-up Down-Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) survey confirmed the extent of the Ajax East prospective horizon while also recording responses to the sulphide mineralisation observed in both the hangingwall and footwall positions.

Hammer Metals managing director Daniel Thomas said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“Ajax East is continuing to emerge as an exciting new target area, with confirmation of sulphides in the initial drilling a very encouraging development.

“Based on the available geophysics, this target horizon may continue for more than a kilometre and the presence of chalcopyrite in this hole and in nearby locations gives us confidence that this is a fertile copper system, representing an excellent exploration target that is virtually untested.

“Our inventory of high-quality targets in the Mt Isa district continues to grow in line with our extensive geophysical and geochemical programs.”

Hammer is carrying out further Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) surveys to refine targeting and assist in designing a thorough follow-up drill program.

Kalamazoo Resources Claims Marble Bar Lithium Discovery

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Kalamazoo Resources (ASX: KZR) followed its appearance at the 2022 RIU Sydney Resources Roundup with news from early-stage field reconnaissance activities at the company’s Marble Bar lithium project.

Kalamazoo’s Pilbara lithium exploration ground holding now totals 354.4 square kilometres comprising the Marble Bar, DOM’s Hill, and Pear Creek lithium projects.

The company claimed its ongoing field reconnaissance of portable XRF soil anomalies recently reported at E45/4700 (aka Marble Bar lithium project) has discovered additional pegmatite outcrops, some of which contain visible lithium mineralisation in the form of lepidolite (lithium mica).

Rock chip sample assay results returned up to 1.6 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) and 372ppm tantalum.

“The ongoing fieldwork at Marble Bar is delivering excellent results with the identification of multiple pegmatite dykes containing visible lithium mineralisation and rock chip assay results up to 1.6 per cent lithium oxide and 372ppm tantalum,” Kalamazoo Resources chairman and CEO Luke Reinehr said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“These discoveries are lining up well with our pXRF soil anomalies, and we are pleased to see the pegmatite dykes extending into our newly granted tenement E45/5970.

“We consider the potential for LCT pegmatite mineralisation in the immediate area is very high, which is supported by Global Lithium’s nearby Archer deposit (10.5Mt at 1% Li20) to the north.

“The grant of two additional tenements at Marble Bar and DOM’s Hill further expands our lithium exploration tenure in the immediate area, which are now the subject of additional soil sampling and exploration activity in conjunction with our JV exploration partner SQM.

“We are anticipating the commencement of drilling across both projects towards the end of June 2022.”

Dundas Minerals Encounters Broad Zones of Nickel Mineralisation at Jumbuck

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Dundas Minerals returned from the 2022 RIU Sydney Resources Roundup to report reverse circulation (RC) drilling results from its Jumbuck nickel prospect program.

Dundas Minerals carried out the drilling in February as part of exploration activities for nickel, copper and gold in the prospective Albany-Fraser Orogen, Western Australia.

Results included:

22JURC009 (135m)
0.23 per cent nickel and 0.22 per cent chromium over 34m (25m – 58m), including 7m at 0.38 per cent nickel and 0.16 per cent chromium (26m 33m); and

22JURC010 (135m)
0.14 per cent nickel and 0.27 per cent chromium over 33m (71m – 103m).

“The results from these two holes, which at 135 metres are still relatively shallow, are most encouraging,” Dundas Minerals managing director Shane Volk said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It is still early days at Jumbuck, however the nickel enrichment within the Mafic intrusive is significant.

“The next steps for us will be the completion of detailed magnetic inversion models, analysis of district gravity data (including a possible infill gravity survey) and revisiting the SkyTEM electromagnetic data for conductive anomalies.

“The objective of this work is to develop at least one diamond drill hole target to test beneath the near-surface enrichment zones.”

Mamba Exploration Defines Calyerup Creek Mineralisation

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Mamba Exploration (ASX: M24), on the eve of the RIU Sydney Resources Roundup, reported results drilling at the company’s Calyerup Creek project in the Great Southern of Western Australia.

Mamba Exploration said the RC drilling intersected shallow high-grade gold mineralisation, identifying mineralisation on each drill line across the southern gold trend the company had spotted from earlier soil sampling.

The results extended mineralisation from 350 metres as reported in March, to over 500m along strike and to a maximum vertical depth of around 35m.

The mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.

Final assay results include:

22CCRC022
6m at 1 gram per tonne gold gold from 2m;

22CCRC019
5m at 0.8g/t gold from 7m, and 7m at 0.7g/t gold from 17m; and

22CCRC023
12m at 0.7g/t gold from surface.

“It is pleasing to report that shallow and significant widths of gold mineralisation have been intersected on each of the drill lines completed across the southern gold trend,” Mamba Exploration managing director Mike Dunbar said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“To intersect significant mineralisation in the initial drilling over a strike length of more than 500 metres and to a maximum vertical depth of 35 metres is an excellent start to exploration in the region.

“The mineralisation remains open in all directions.

“Now that mineralisation has been confirmed over a substantial strike length, the next round of RC drilling has been planned to extend the mineralisation at depth and further along strike.

“Preparation for the drilling is well advanced with a PoW approved by DMIRS and environmental surveys confirming there are no impediments to drilling.

“A heritage survey has been commissioned and should be completed in late May or early June, allowing drilling as soon as the winter rains abate.

“While access to our southern projects is limited during winter, our exploration efforts will shift to the Copper Flats project in the Kimberley and the Ashburton gold project.”

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Great Boulder Resources (ASX: GBR) received drilling results from the company’s Whiteheads project north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia before heading across for the RIU Sydney Resources Roundup.

Great Boulder Resources received assay results from 79 air-core (AC) holes completed at the end of January, designed to test geochemical anomalies at six prospects including three areas along the Arsenal Trend.

The company said the results continue to enhance its view that the Arsenal Trend has high potential for additional gold endowment, particularly south of the Blue Poles discovery.

Highlights include:

At Blue Poles South

22WHAC075
4m at 0.77 grams per tonne gold from 32m to EOH; and

22WHAC073
4m at 0.14g/t gold from 32m to EOH.

At Eclipse

22WHAC032
4m at 0.91g/t gold from 48m; and

22WHAC026
1m at 0.28g/t gold from 68m to EOH.

“With this program we started working on more regional targets at the south end of Whiteheads, but the results clearly highlight the Arsenal Trend as an ongoing priority for further drilling,” Great Boulder Resources managing director Andrew Paterson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“From the north end of Blue Poles down to Tektite we’ve now defined over 2.5 kilometres of a mineralised trend.

“We need to drill deeper RC at holes at Blue Poles to test the higher-grade potential plunging to the south, and then start testing these new prospects south of Blue Poles.

“We also expect to have the AC rig back at Whiteheads in about a month, continuing first-pass drilling on additional geochemical targets defined within the broader project area.”
