Southern Cross Gold Drilling Extends Apollo Deep Gold Mineralisation

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Southern Cross Gold (ASX: SXG) received assay results from three drillholes recently completed at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Sunday Creek project in Victoria.

Southern Cross Gold drilled the holes on the Apollo prospect, all of which intersected high-grade mineralisation and extended mineralisation beyond the bounds of the company’s current exploration target area as well as defining continuity in other areas.

Hole SDDSC111 was designed to test the hanging wall position of two high-grade vein sets and intercepted seven mineralised structures, three of which are considered high-grade.

Hole SDDSC112 was drilled in the footwall of the mineralised host and was terminated early due to SXG geologists observing the hole was deviating out of the host position to the south into unaltered sediment.

The hole was redrilled as wedge hole SDDSC112W1 that progressed through the host structure with high-grade gold intercepted on the eastern margins of the Apollo prospect.

SDDSC112W1 contained assayed intervals with three zones of visible gold mineralisation.

Combined both holes intercepted eight high-grade structures.

Hole SDDSC116 was drilled parallel to and 45 metres along strike from SDDSC112/112W1 and was designed to intersect the mineralised hanging wall while SDDSC112/112W1 targeted the footwall.

SDDSC116 contained four assayed intervals greater than 10 grams per tonne gold.

“Sunday Creek has delivered another set of extremely strong high-grade gold and antimony drill results, this time from the Apollo project, located 400 metres east of Rising Sun, which has provided most of the intersection highlights in Sunday Creek over the last six months,” Southern Cross Gold managing director Michael Hudson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Like Rising Sun, Apollo is now catching up with better results intersected at depth.”
