Flynn Gold Confirms Grenadier Prospect High-Grade Gold Vein System

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) has confirmed a new quartz vein system extending over a strike length of at least 300 metres at the Grenadier prospect within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Golden Ridge project in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold initially identified the Grenadier prospect via soil sampling that was followed by rock chip sampling campaigns.

A recent trenching program at Grenadier comprised six trenches, resulting in the exposure of a quartz-sulphide vein of note (G2 Vein) and extending the known strike length of the Grenadier vein system by a further 190m to the northeast.

Mineralisation at Grenadier has now been defined over at total strike length of at least 300m trending to the northeast.

“These latest trenching results from the Grenadier prospect have significantly upgraded the prospectivity of this area,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“With the support of Mineral Resources Tasmania we have moved quickly to collect a 10-tonne bulk sample to facilitate initial metallurgical testwork.

“This latest discovery of a major mineralised vein system extending over a total strike length of over 300m is the widest and longest mineralised vein system uncovered to date.

“It is an exciting new development for Flynn Gold.

“Not only have we excavated across the vein strike in several trenches, but we have also opened up a trench along the vein – with sampling of the vein length yielding consistent assays of up to 11.8 grams/tonne gold.

“We look forward to now moving ahead with an initial drilling campaign at Grenadier to enhance our understanding of the local geology as well as extending our exploration activities into adjacent areas.

“The Grenadier prospect is not included in our Exploration Target for the Golden Ridge project and offers substantial upside.”

Flynn Gold Confirms High-Grade Gold Zone at Golden Ridge

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) reported a drilling encounter with high-grade gold at the company’s 100 per cent- owned Golden Ridge project in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold announced high -grade gold mineralisation was intersected during the first drilling program completed at the Trafalgar North vein zone, which is situated within the Golden Ridge project.

The company has received assay results for two drill holes drilled at Trafalgar North, from which the best results included:

TFDD020
3.05 metres at 4.9 grams per tonne gold from 53.1m, including 0.35m at 40g/t gold, and
2.7m at 4.1g/t gold from 115.4m, including 0.35m at 26.6g/t gold; and

TFDD019
4.8m at 4g/t gold from 165.6m, including 0.4m at 17.9g/t gold from 166.9m, and 0.4m at 24g/t gold from 170m, and
0.3m at 25.1g/t gold from 440.5m.

“These are excellent early results from our on-going exploration at our flagship Golden Ridge project in NE Tasmania,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Drilling has successfully intersected high-grade gold veins beneath the recently discovered trenching area at Trafalgar North and has confirmed our interpretation that this zone is continuous at depth and potentially is a parallel zone to the Trafalgar prospect mineralisation.

“This new vein zone increases the mineralised footprint at Trafalgar from 300m to 500m width across the granodiorite/sedimentary contact and reinforces our view that this project has the potential to host large-scale gold mineralisation.”

Flynn Gold Claims New Tasmanian Gold Discovery

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) has claimed a new gold discovery at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Golden Ridge project in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold announced the discovery of an extensive system of gold bearing quartz veins within historical workings located approximately 250m north of the historic Trafalgar Mine at Golden Ridge.

The discovery came via 17 out of 36 grab rock chip samples that assayed over 10 grams per tonne gold, including 99.4g/t gold, 76.6g/t gold and 67.1g/t gold.

Flynn Gold described the gold as being hosted in multiple sub-parallel quartz-sulphide veins over a minimum 65m wide zone.

The company completed initial trench channel sampling that produced high-grade mineralised intervals of:

11 metres at 2 grams per tonne gold, including 3.3m at 6.3g/t gold; and

16.5m at 1.3g/t gold, including 1.5m at 6.8g/t gold and 4m at 2.4g/t gold.

Flynn Gold declared the new vein zone discovery expands the gold mineralised footprint at the Trafalgar prospect.

The company now has diamond drilling underway to test gold mineralisation at depth below the trenching.

“The company is excited by the discovery of multiple high-grade gold veins approximately 250m north of the main Trafalgar gold deposit at Golden Ridge in Northeast Tasmania,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“These gold veins were exposed in trenching over an area of historical mine workings which appear unrecorded since they were dug about a century ago.

“The vein system potentially expands the footprint of gold mineralisation at Trafalgar to a 500m wide corridor which remains open in all directions, once again confirming the potential for significant scale at the Golden Ridge project.

“With so many high-grade gold assays recorded at the surface we have adjusted our ongoing diamond drilling program to test beneath these old workings and we look forward to reporting the results of this drilling shortly.”

Flynn Gold Intersects High-Grade Gold at Trafalgar

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEAT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) raced out the first results from the latest diamond drilling activities at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Golden Ridge project located in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold reported assays from the first hole in the diamond drilling program underway at the Trafalgar prospect that has intersected numerous high-grade gold veins.

TFDD016:

0.4 metres at 67.6 grams per tonne gold within 1.3m at 21.9g/t gold from 248.7m;
0.3m at 39.2g/t gold from 243.2m;
0.5m at 35.1g/t gold within 1.4m at 12.7g/t gold from 164.6m (Trafalgar Main Vein);
0.3m at 19g/t gold within 0.65m at 10.5g/t gold from 187.55m (Magazine Vein);
0.3m at 12.3g/t gold within 1.2m at 3.5g/t gold from 233m; and
0.4m at 10.8g/t gold from 135.2m.

“These are impressive early results from the first hole of our drilling campaign at the Trafalgar prospect at Golden Ridge in Northeast Tasmania, adding further confidence to our understanding of Trafalgar as a multiple high-grade vein, intrusion-related gold deposit,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Earlier this year our exploration model for Trafalgar was refined and updated.

“Based on the new model this first drill hole was designed to test for mineralisation beneath the historic Trafalgar mine, and up dip of previously intersected high-grade intervals.

“We have intersected high-grade mineralisation in the target zones, which increases confidence in our work and the ability to understand this high-grade gold system.

“We look forward to releasing further drilling results as this program progresses over the coming weeks.”

The company completed a second hole, TFDD017, last week to a final depth of 248.4m that was also designed to test all the main veins (Trafalgar Main, Magazine, and Trafalgar South veins) (see Figure 2). This hole is currently being logged and sampled.

A third drill hole, TFDD018, will commence this week with a target depth of 330m and is also designed to test all three of the main veins.

Assay results are anticipated to be announced when they become available.

Flynn Gold Encounters High-Grade Veins at Golden Ridge Adit

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) reported a high-grade gold encounter from the Link Zone prospect at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Golden Ridge project in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold recorded high-grade gold assays during a recent field mapping and sampling campaign at the Link Zone prospect that sits between the Trafalgar and Brilliant prospects along the Golden Ridge granodiorite contact.

Previous diamond drilling at Trafalgar and Brilliant was encouraging producing multiple intersections over 100 grams per tonne gold at the Trafalgar prospect, which is currently the subject of a diamond drillhole campaign.

Flynn Gold completed mapping and vein sampling within the historic Golden Ridge adit, from which it has identified a new zone of high-grade gold mineralisation in the Link Zone prospect.

Underground grab sampling of mineralised veins in the adit returned high-grade gold assays, including 64.4g/t gold, 37.6g/t gold and 15.9g/t gold.

“Our confidence in Golden Ridge as an extensive, high-grade intrusive-related gold system continues to grow with these Link Zone results confirming that high-grade mineralisation exists within an increasingly well-defined corridor that has the potential to link the Brilliant and Trafalgar prospects over a strike length of 2.5 kilometres,” Flynn Gold managing director & CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Whilst drilling is ongoing at Trafalgar our exploration team is actively exploring to further extend the gold system at Golden Ridge which we expect will lead to identifying additional drilling targets similar to the Link Zone.”

Flynn Gold Identifies Firetower Strike and Depth Potential

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) brought market watchers up to date on recent activities at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Firetower project located in northwest Tasmania.

Flynn Gold took receipt of final assay results from a four-hole diamond drilling program undertaken at the Firetower polymetallic (gold-cobalt-tingsten-copper) prospect in December 2023 that entailed extension tails to three historical diamond holes and one new hole drilled.

The company explained the short drill program was designed to test for depth/strike extensions to historically drilled polymetallic mineralisation, and to provide stratigraphic and structural information to assist geological evaluation of controls to high-grade mineralisation.

“The drilling program was successful in testing for depth extensions of the main mineralised zone and providing key geological and structural information which greatly improves our understanding of the controls to high-grade mineralisation at the Firetower project,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Our initial review of the project generated depth extension targets that we started testing with an initial four-hole drill program in November 2023.

“Previous drilling at Firetower has been generally shallow across a limited strike length, with very few holes extending beyond 100 metres from the surface.

“Several historic drill holes reportedly ended in mineralisation.

“These early results demonstrate the continuity of polymetallic mineralisation and highlight the significant potential for high-grade mineralisation to continue at depth and along strike.”

Flynn Gold Reports Gold Results from Drilling at Trafalgar

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) was happy to report results recently achieved from a diamond drilling program underway at the Trafalgar prospect within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Golden Ridge project in North-east Tasmania.

Flynn Gold’s demeanour was due to the first assays for drill hole TFDD015 at Trafalgar that intersected multiple veins with high-grade gold mineralisation, including:

TFDD015
1.1 metres at 51.3 grams per tonne gold from 353.2m, including 0.4m at 137.8g/t gold from 353.9m
2.45m at 5.1g/t gold from 204.55m, including 0.55m at 20.22g/t gold from 205.2m
1.6m at 5.86g/t gold from 191.7m, including 0.8m at 13.95g/t gold from 191.7m
2.4m at 2.83g/t gold from 167m, including 0.45m at 11.35g/t gold from 168.95m

Flynn Gold said results for a remaining 420m of samples from drill hole TFDD014 and the remaining sections of TFDD015 are pending and will be reported once laboratory assays become available.

“The latest results from the recently completed drilling at the Trafalgar prospect at Golden Ridge in north-east Tasmania have again delivered exceptional gold results from multiple high-grade intersections that further support the company’s target model for a significant IRGS type gold deposit,” Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Drill hole 15 was designed to test for high-grade gold mineralisation at depth beneath the historical Trafalgar main shaft and approximately 75 metres below a historical drill hole intersection which included 0.4 metres at 150 grams per tonne gold.

“To achieve a similar high-grade result in this latest drill hole increases our confidence in the extent and orientation of these high-grade shoots, which are occurring close to the granodiorite-hornfels contact.”

Flynn Gold Delivers Trafalgar and Popes Gold Drilling News

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Flynn Gold (ASX: FG1) is keeping itself occupied with drilling underway at the company’s 100 per cent-owned gold projects in Northeast Tasmania.

Flynn Gold has commenced Phase 2 drilling of the Trafalgar prospect within its Golden Ridge project targeting extensions of known gold mineralised vein structures.

The company recently completed an initial two hole diamond drilling program at the Popes gold prospect within its Portland gold project.

The drilling at Trafalgar follows a seven-hole Phase 1 diamond drilling completed in February 2023 that encountered several gold intersections.

Drilling at the Popes prospect entailed two diamond drill holes targeting gold mineralisation.

Flynn Gold’s explained its main exploration target at the Portland gold project is for Victorian-style, turbidite-hosted orogenic high-grade gold deposits.

The Popes prospect comprises a series of historical shallow gold workings (trenches, pits and abandoned shafts).

Previous exploration at the Popes prospect has been limited to soil sampling as part of a project wide soil sampling program across the Portland mineralised system.

“Flynn Gold’s Phase 2 drilling program at the Trafalgar prospect has commenced,” Flynn Gold CEO Neil Marston said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“At Trafalgar, we made a significant new gold discovery from our 2022 drilling program and now the next step with our Phase 2 drilling, is to continue testing for strike and dip extensions of mineralised vein structures.

“We have also completed our maiden diamond drilling program at the Popes prospect, which is located at the southern extension of the Portland gold project.

“This under-explored project area is prospective for Victorian-style orogenic high-grade gold deposits.

“Early visual examination of the drill core from the two holes completed at the Popes prospect has revealed moderate to intense alteration, multiple generations of quartz veining and the presence of sulphides.

“We look forward to receiving laboratory results from this drilling as they become available.”
