Flynn Gold Delivers Trafalgar and Popes Gold Drilling News
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) is keeping itself occupied with drilling underway at the company’s 100 per cent-owned gold projects in Northeast Tasmania.
Flynn Gold has commenced Phase 2 drilling of the Trafalgar prospect within its Golden Ridge project targeting extensions of known gold mineralised vein structures.
The company recently completed an initial two hole diamond drilling program at the Popes gold prospect within its Portland gold project.
The drilling at Trafalgar follows a seven-hole Phase 1 diamond drilling completed in February 2023 that encountered several gold intersections.
Drilling at the Popes prospect entailed two diamond drill holes targeting gold mineralisation.
Flynn Gold’s explained its main exploration target at the Portland gold project is for Victorian-style, turbidite-hosted orogenic high-grade gold deposits.
The Popes prospect comprises a series of historical shallow gold workings (trenches, pits and abandoned shafts).
Previous exploration at the Popes prospect has been limited to soil sampling as part of a project wide soil sampling program across the Portland mineralised system.
“Flynn Gold’s Phase 2 drilling program at the Trafalgar prospect has commenced,” Flynn Gold CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“At Trafalgar, we made a significant new gold discovery from our 2022 drilling program and now the next step with our Phase 2 drilling, is to continue testing for strike and dip extensions of mineralised vein structures.
“We have also completed our maiden diamond drilling program at the Popes prospect, which is located at the southern extension of the Portland gold project.
“This under-explored project area is prospective for Victorian-style orogenic high-grade gold deposits.
“Early visual examination of the drill core from the two holes completed at the Popes prospect has revealed moderate to intense alteration, multiple generations of quartz veining and the presence of sulphides.
“We look forward to receiving laboratory results from this drilling as they become available.”
