White Cliff hits new mineralised zones

THE DRILL SERGEANT: White Cliff Minerals (ASX: WCN) has received results from the first two reverse circulation drill holes completed at the Lower Gold Zone (LGZ) area of the Aucu deposit, located near the company’s Chanach copper-gold deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic.

White Cliff claims the drilling has identified extensive high-grade mineralisation within multiple shear zones with assay results returing:

6 metres at 13.1 grams per tonne gold including 1m at 23.1g/t gold from 47m;

5m at 6.2g/t gold from 82m;

8m at 6.7g/t gold from 56m;

3m at 8.2g/t gold from 83m; and

1m at 12.3g/t gold and 1m at 10.3g/t gold.

White Cliff said the new results support previously announced results from the Aucu Copper Gold Zone (CGZ) where the first six reverse circulation drill holes identified high-grade mineralisation within two shear zones.

The company claims it has now confirmed high-grade gold mineralisation occurs within both the Aucu Copper-Gold Zone and the Lower Gold Zone (LGZ) and that the two mineralised systems are parallel and approximately 100m apart.

Mineralisation starts at the surface, is high-grade and has been identified to at least 100m vertical depth in both systems and is open along strike in both directions.

Drilling is ongoing at both zones.

“The identification of a second highly mineralised gold system at Aucu indicates that the scale of the gold mineralisation is significant,” White Cliff Minerals managing director Todd Hibberd said in the comaopny’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The new high-grade drilling results are exceptional and make us very confident that this is a significant gold discovery.

“The scale and grade of the mineralised system is outstanding and augers very well for the future of the project and the company”
