Doray Minerals hits high-grades during Wilber extension drilling

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Doray Minerals (ASX: DRM) has completed its first underground diamond drilling program on extensions to the Wilber Lode deposit at the company’s Andy Well gold project in Western Australia.

According to Doray the drilling encountered some encouraging high-grade results, which it said has confirmed continuation of high-grade mineralisation below the current mine design and Mineral Resource boundary.

Doray indicated the new results are to be incorporated in a recalculation of the Wilber Mineral Resource.

This program, consisting of 36 holes, is the first underground exploration drilling campaign conducted at Andy Well, since Doray started underground mining in May 2013.

Highlights include:

WBUG0782
0.9 metres at 155.2 grams per tonne gold from 246.9 metres downhole (mdh);

WBUG0785A
0.6m at 52.2g/t gold from 291.4mdh;

WBUG0753
0.7m at 55.9g/t gold from 131.2mdh;

WBUG0757
0.5m at 130.7g/t gold from 185.2mdh;

WBUG0751
2.1m at 21.2g/t gold from 183.9mdh; and

WBUG0815
0.6m at 25.7g/t gold from 185mdh.

“Following the completion of this program, an underground diamond drill rig has continued at the Wilber underground mine to test further extensions to high-grade gold mineralisation,” Doray Minerals explained in its ASX announcement.

“Targets will be tested at the Wilber and Judy zones, as suitable drill positions become available.

“It is intended that this underground Resource extensional drilling will carry over into the new financial year, and continue on an ongoing basis.”

The company has also received all necessary permits for the proposed Suzie open pit, where it is currently completing a RC grade control drilling program.

Results from this drilling will be used in the final design of the mine at Suzie, which will utilising the mining fleet currently on site at Andy Well.
