Warriedar Resources Achieves High Gold Recoveries at Windinne Well
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Warriedar Resources (ASX: WA8) has been busy at the company’s Golden Range Project located in the Murchison region of Western Australia.
Warriedar Resources recently conducted metallurgical testwork in the form of bottle roll leach tests on recent Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling samples taken from the project’s Windinne Well gold deposit.
The company had the test carried out on five primary gold samples (fresh rock) extracted from the Windinne Well deposit.
The results demonstrated Windinne Well primary gold mineralisation to be free milling with excellent recoveries producing an average gold recovery of 98.2 per cent, with the best result up to 99.8 per cent.
Last year, Warriedar commenced evaluating other deposits within the Golden Corridor aside from its main focus of the Ricciardo deposit.
Amanda Buckingham spoke with The Resources Roadhouse at the recent RIU Explorers Conference.
This resulted in identification of Mineral Resource growth potential from several deposits, including M1 and Windinne Well, Azure Coast and Bugeye.
This potential is set to be a key focus of Warriedar’s growth-focussed drilling at the Golden Range project during 2025.
“Warriedar’s main focus is growing its fresh rock gold resources at Golden Range, via both extension of existing deposits and targeted new discoveries along the shear,” Warriedar Resources managing director and CEO Amanda Buckingham said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“At almost one million ounces and growing, Ricciardo is our flagship deposit in this regard.
“However, we also hold other deposits within the ‘Golden Corridor’ that, by virtue of their possible free milling nature, possess the potential for more rapid, capital-lite commercialisation.
“Following our drilling and successful extension of it during 2023, and with an existing high-grade resource approaching 100,000 ounces (at 2.9 g/t Au) and further growth potential, Windinne Well is at the forefront of this complementary focus.
“We have recommenced drilling at Windinne Well, and we are excited to advance our evaluation of its potential for early mining and monetisation.”
