THE DRILL SERGEANT: Hamelin Gold landed at the South-West Connect ASX Showcase with proof there is life in the old commodity yet.

In the lead up to the conference, Hamelin Gold announced it had identified a major extension of the Fremlins gold system within the company’s West Tanami project in Western Australia.

Hamelin had completed a review of surface geochemical data to the south of Fremlins that identified a three kilometre long, coherent gold anomaly.

On the back of historical drilling, Hamelin drilled two 400 metre spaced aircore drill lines (80 metre spaced holes) across the anomaly to test for gold anomalism deeper in the regolith profile.

This first pass aircore drill program successfully outlined a +200 metre wide, +100ppb gold anomaly below the leached zone and confirmed the ineffectiveness of the historical shallow RAB drilling.

Hamelin has now commenced a second phase of infill aircore drilling at Fremlins across the two previously drilled sections.

“Our understanding of the geology and mineralisation within the West Tanami has advanced significantly over the past 12 months,” Hamelin Gold managing director Peter Bewick said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We have seen indications of intense, near surface leaching of gold across the project which brings into question the effectiveness of shallow drilling.

“This has now been confirmed with a broad zone of anomalous gold discovered at Fremlins below historical seven metre deep RAB drillholes.

“This means the three kilometre long gold geochemical anomaly at Fremlins South remains ineffectively tested and expands the Fremlins gold system to strike length of nine kilometres.”

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Hamelin Gold (ASX: HMG) has been busy at the company’s West Tanami gold project in Western Australia.

Hamelin Gold reported initial results from an EIS co-funded diamond drilling as well as a recently completed ultra-detailed airborne magnetic survey at the project’s Camel prospect.

Diamond drilling results included a wide zone of gold mineralisation intersected at Camel of:

TSD0005
47.85 metres at 0.3 grams per tonne gold from 107.05m containing high-grade veins including, 0.42m at 3.62g/t gold from 114.65m, 0.23m at 5.09g/t gold from 143.2m, 0.32m at 5.8g/t gold from 147.48m, and 0.35m at 5.21g/t gold from 154.5m.

“Recent results from the Camel gold prospect indicate the potential for a significant gold system at this under explored target,” Hamelin Gold managing director Peter Bewick said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Results from the first of two EIS co-funded diamond drill holes confirm high-grade gold mineralisation at Camel associated within an array of quartz veins and thin breccias interpreted to mark the potential outer margins of a more significant gold zone open to the north west.

“An ultra-detailed airborne magnetics and radiometrics survey was flown across an 8km by 5km area which included the Camel prospect.

“This survey provided significantly enhanced magnetic imagery that has enabled a more detailed structural interpretation of this mineralised region.

“This information along with the identification of high-grade gold in outcropping quartz veins and ironstones has defined a collection of priority drill targets within the Camel gold system that we are excited to test.

“A 2000 metres RC drill program is due to commence by the end of October.

“This program will test the area to the north west of our initial orientation drill line as well as a series of other structural and geochemical targets recently generated in the Camel area.”
