Meeka Metals Continues High-Grade Gold Run at Turnberry
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Meeka Metals (ASX: MEK) reported assays from a further seven diamond holes drilled at Turnberry central, part of the company’s 100 per cent-owned Murchison gold project in Western Australia.
Mekk Metals drilled below the 2021 Scoping Study open pit shell to receive assays demonstrating continuity of the thick zones of gold below the planned pit.
Assays also confirmed the high-grade nature of the western lode, which sits 20 to 50 metres to the west of the main zone of mineralisation at Turnberry central.
Results included:
22TBRCDD009
18 metres at 4.41 gras per tonne gold from 252m, including 10m at 7.26g/t gold and 23m at 2.52g/t gold from 281m, including 10m at 4.31g/t gold;
21TBRCDD027
19m at 2.62g/t gold from 364m, including 3m at 5.46g/t gold; and
21TBRCDD018
16m at 2.18g/t gold from 301m, including 5m at 4.41g/t gold.
“These results continue to demonstrate the broad zones of gold at Turnberry extend below the 2021 Scoping Study open pit design,” Meeka Metals managing director Tim Davidson said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“Importantly, the high-grade western lode located 20 to 50 metres to the west of the main lode was confirmed to extend 150 metres to the south of previous intersections where visible gold was also logged in drill holes.
“The western lode is a potential underground mine below the planned open pit.
“We are now seeing the depth potential of this highly fertile seven kilometres system that hosts both Turnberry and St Anne’s.
“With these results from Turnberry in hand, our focus is now on drilling out St Anne’s, targeting primary mineralisation in the fresh rock.
“Diamond drilling at St Anne’s will commence in early October 2022.
“This will, provide additional capacity to target primary mineralisation in the fresh rock, while also gathering important structural information about the St Anne’s mineralisation.
“Shallow strike extensional drilling into the oxide zones remains ongoing at St Anne’s.”
