Saturn Metals Reports Thick and Higher-Grade Intercepts at Apollo Hill

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Saturn Metals (ASX: STN) received remaining results from Reverse Circulation (RC) grade control drilling completed on the planned bulk sample pit location at the company’s Apollo Hill gold project in Western Australia.

Latest results include broad and higher grade, intersections at and near surface including:

AHRC0906
37 metres at 2.02 grams per tonne gold from 1m, including 12m at 4.55g/t gold from 4m;

AHAC0931
64m at 1.06g/t gold from 0m, including 18m at 2.63g/t gold from 9m;

AHAC0926
15m at 2.45g/t gold from 0m, including 7m at 4.99g/t gold from 0m; and

AHAC0908
36m at 1.34g/t gold from 10m and 9m at 1.5g/t gold from 58m.

Saturn Metals reported all assays have now been returned from the grade control program and results will ultimately be used in future upgrades to Apollo Hill’s current Mineral Resource of 76.6 million tonnes at 0.6g/t gold for approx. 1.5 million ounces, which is slated for upgrading in mid-2023.

“Results confirm the potential for a significant amount of gold in a relatively small portion of the deposit,” Saturn Metals managing director Ian Bamborough said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The high confidence data has provided an excellent foundation from which to move forward with the design of Saturn’s planned pilot heap leach operation.

“Geological learnings from this more detailed look at the asset have been invaluable and are being applied to the greater Apollo Hill deposit to help guide our ongoing exploration and resource development activities.”
