Mt Malcolm Mines Completes Grade Control Drilling at Golden Crown Gold Prospect
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Mt Malcolm Mines (ASX: M2M) reported on recent activity at the company’s Golden Crown gold prospect in Western Australia.
Mt Malcolm Mines has just completed a program of grade control reverse circulation (RC) drilling and commenced bulk sampling as well as an ore processing study at the Golden Crown prospect.
The drilling entailed a 522 metre RC drilling campaign, including two holes testing northern extensions of the eastern lode.
A further 18 grade control drillholes were completed to support the bulk sampling program.
Samples have been submitted to SGS Kalgoorlie for analysis, with results expected within a fortnight.
A test study processing seven composite samples from the company’s February 2024 RC drilling program is being performed, using wet gravity separation at a nearby third-party plant.
A comprehensive bulk sampling program has commenced, targeting up to approx. 8,000 tonnes of high-grade ore.
“The company is excited with the progress at the Golden Crown prospect in 2024,” Mt Malcolm Mines managing director Trevor Dixon said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“The current bulk sampling and test study on ore processing is poised to mark another significant milestone.
“These activities aim to establish the feasibility of wet gravity processing at the nearby third-party plant and assess the mineability of the shallow high-grade ore at the Golden Crown prospect.
“I would like to commend our team for their exceptional work in achieving these significant advancements.”
