Warriedar Resources Claims High-Grade Antimony Discovery

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Warriedar Resources (ASX: WA8) has added antimony to its exploration aspirations on the back of recent assay results received from the company’s Golden Range project in the Murchison region of Western Australia.

Warriedar Resources reported intersections of high-grade antimony from multiple holes below the Golden Range Ardmore pit, including:

RDRC067 above the main zone of high-grade gold mineralisation:

12.7 metres at 4.98 per cent antimony and 0.36 grams per tonne gold (10.92g/t AuEq) from 229.2m, including 1.85m at 28.5 per cent antimony and 0.45g/t gold (60.94 g/t AuEq) from 238.25m.

A wide zone of antimony mineralisation was encountered in hole RDRC001:

34m at 1 per cent antimony and 0.59g/t gold (2.72 g/t AuEq) from 158.8m.

Warriedar declared the newly identified and high-grade antimony zone, along with the broader antimony potential at Ricciardo, demands prompt follow-up and evaluation.

“The results for these holes successfully demonstrate further extensional high-grade gold, and for the first time very high-grade antimony zones below the Ardmore pit area,” Warriedar Resources managing director and CEO Amanda Buckingham said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Given the relative absence of assaying for antimony in historical drilling at Golden Range, we are cautiously optimistic on the potential that might exist here.

“Moreover, the apparent zonation in RDRC067 is also highly encouraging for any future antimony development potential.

“I want to emphasise however that pursuit of this opportunity will be in parallel with our growth-focussed gold drilling at Golden Range, which remains our current core focus.”

The Ricciardo gold system spans a strike length of approximately 2.3km, with very limited drilling having been undertaken below 100m depth.

Ricciardo possesses a current MRE of 8.7 million tonnes at 1.7 grams per tonne gold for 476,000 ounces gold.

Historical mining operations at Ricciardo were primarily focused on oxide material, with the transition and primary sulphides mineralisation not systematically explored.
