Warriedar Resources Drills Further Ricciardo Gold Mineralisation
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Warriedar Resources (ASX: WA8) will have plenty to report at the Roadhouse Steak Sandwich Showdown in Kalgoorlie next week, on the back of recent drilling at the company’s Golden Range project in Western Australia.
Warriedar Resources reported on two recently completed diamond holes, following up previously released results for program’s first twelve diamond holes.
The latest assay results come from continued drilling of the Ricciardo deposit, which the company declared to confirm a 77-metres wide (not true width) mineralisation zone 180m down-dip of the current Resource beneath the Ardmore pit.
Gold intercepts included:
7.2 metres at 4.51 grams per tonne gold from 232.8m, including 3m at 9.03g/t gold from 234m;
23.2m at 1.6g/t gold from 270.8m;
10.5m at 1.53g/t gold from 218.8m; and
3.9m at 3.35g/t gold from 218.8m.
Warriedar said the results for these two holes demonstrated wide infill of the broader Ricciardo deposit at depth, further validating Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) growth potential exists at Ricciardo and along the broader ‘Golden Corridor’ trend.
“The outcomes of these two diamond tails are significant, given that they represented substantial depth step-outs under the shallow Ardmore pit,” Warriedar Resources managing director and CEO Amanda Buckingham said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“A 77m wide mineralised zone (downhole) with a central high-grade shoot (4.51g/t), 180m below the MRE is a great result.
“We don’t fully understand the structural geometry here yet, but we are delighted that the deeper part of hole 49 validates the drill results from a previous explorer – confirming the deposit extends to about 460m vertical depth and retains some good grade (3.19g/t).
“Excellent progress.
“We continue to drill ahead at Ricciardo as part of the current diamond program, with follow-up growth drilling activities in planning for the remainder of H2 2024.”
