Middle Island Releases Two Mile Hill and McIntyre Drilling Results

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Middle Island Resources (ASX: MDI) continued its recent run of drilling result announcement from the company’s Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.

Middles Island Resources has received all gold assay results for reverse circulation percussion (RC) drilling completed during the June quarter at the Two Mile Hill and McIntyre prospects within the Sandstone project.

The company explained the purpose of the RC drilling program to be twofold as it infilled previous RC drilling in the northeast quadrant of the Two Mile Hill open pit deposit in order to clarify the mineralised continuity in an area critical to pit optimisation and to infill previous rotary air blast (RAB) and RC drilling at the McIntyre prospect to confirm and extend the presence of thick, shallow zones of gold mineralisation.

RC drilling results from both the Two Mile Hill and McIntyre prospects include:

2 metres at 44.7 grams per tonne gold ;
5m at 7.59g/t gold ;
25m at 0.81g/t gold; and
4m at 3.37g/t gold.

“Based on the strike and dip continuity of what is a broad mineralised zone at McIntyre, it is planned to undertake further RC drilling in the northern area in order to establish the mineralised strike extents and follow the zone down-dip to determine if the intercept grades improve within the transition zone, below an interval of suspected surface depletion within the upper (pallid) portion of the oxide profile,” Middle Island Resources said in its ASX announcement.

“Depending on funding and exploration priorities at the time, it is presently anticipated that this drilling will be undertaken within the second half of calendar 2017.”
