Saturn Metals Hits Thick Shallow Gold at Hercules
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Saturn Metals (ASX: STN) received promising results from exploration of the area surrounding the company’s Apollo Hill gold project near Leonora in Western Australia.
Saturn Metals is implementing a strategy of exploring for complementary gold deposits in proximity to the recently upgraded 1.47 million ounces Apollo Hill Mineral Resource.
Follow up aircore (AC) drilling at the Hercules prospect has returned several, thick, shallow, gold intersections, including:
AHAC1323
20 metres at 0.92 grams per tonne gold from 32m, including 8m at 1.68g/t gold from 44m;
AHAC1322
12m at 1.05g/t gold from 32m; and
AHAC1297
7m at 1.71g/t gold from 39m.
“It is great to see a coherent gold system coming together at Hercules as we invest in additional drilling,” Saturn Metals managing director Ian Bamborough said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“We still have several exciting dimensions and theories to test.
“We look forward to the next round of drilling and to results from our ongoing regional AC program in the greater gold prospective terrain surrounding Apollo Hill.
“Results from an additional 9,000 metres of AC drilling completed across the Apollo Hill land package will be reported when assay results are returned.”
