Iceni Gold Grows Guyer with Further Strong Gold Intersections
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Iceni Gold (ASX: ICL) continues its AC drilling activities at the company’s 14 Mile Well gold project, located between Leonora and Laverton in Western Australia.
Iceni Gold released results from the third aircore (AC) drill campaign undertaken at the 14 Mile Well gold project that targeted a granite-greenstone contact along the 15km long Guyer Trend.
The company declared the recent drilling enhanced a coherent 6km long bedrock gold anomaly at Guyer North that is now up to 950m wide.
Iceni explained that the drilling had intersected broad downhole intervals of gold mineralisation in multiple vertical holes on four 400m spaced infill drill traverses at Guyer North, from which it has outlined a 1500m long +0.5 grams per tonne gold bedrock anomaly within the broader 6km gold trend.
Results from the latest drill campaign include:
FMAC1098
8m at 1.16 grams per tonne gold from 72m to EOH, including 4m at 2g/t gold from 72m;
FMAC1099
4m at 1.7g/t gold from 72m;
FMAC1102
5m at 1.12g/t gold from 68m to EOH, including 4m at 1.36g/t gold from 68m; and
FMAC1104
9m at 0.7g/t gold from 56m to EOH, including 4m at 1.18g/t gold from 56m.
“The Guyer trend continues to deliver promising gold results that expands the bedrock anomaly from each successive aircore drilling campaign, with the limits yet to be defined,” Iceni Gold managing director Wade Johnson said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“We are very pleased with the recent drill results, which are the best to date and now highlight a stronger signature within the granitic bedrock west of the granite-greenstone contact at Guyer North.
“This area of elevated gold in granite now provides a key target for follow up aircore drilling that will commence shortly.
“Our focus to explore targets under thick transported cover at the 14 Mile Well project has delivered early and quick success that we aim to capitalise on.
“We now have a flagship prospect to focus our exploration efforts on, and one where we are getting closer to a primary source.
“The pending focussed aircore drilling campaign at Guyer is aimed at delivering multiple locations along the corridor for deeper RC and diamond drilling evaluating the primary system.”
