Meeka Metals Encounters New Turnberry South High-Grade Gold Zone

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Meeka Metals (ASX: MEK) has identified a new zone of shallow high-grade gold at the company’s Murchison gold project in Western Australia.

Meeka Metals reported assays from this new zone it encountered on the western side of Turnberry South at the Murchison project.

Assays from the new gold zone include:

25TBGC012
21 metres at 5.13 grams per tonne gold from 51m, including 5m at 15.65g/t gold;

25TBGC011
18m at 3.61g/t gold from 83m, including 4m at 10.85g/t gold; and

25TBGC010
11m at 4.04g/t gold from 52m, including 1m at 22.5g/t gold and 2m at 7.46g/t gold.

The company considers the width of mineralisation and high-grade achieved by the recent drilling is likely to result in an expansion of the Turnberry South stage 1 open pit design.

The company also reports new assays from the high-grade eastern side of Turnberry South.

“We had not previously intersected this high-grade gold zone on the western side of Turnberry South due to the orientation of prior drilling,” Meeka Metals managing director Tim Davidson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We are now prioritising drill delineation along strike to incorporate into an expanded grade control model and updated stage 1 open pit design.”
