-
Drill program is designed to test the nature and continuity of the known mineralisation in the high-grade Capital prospect.

5,000m of combined diamond and RC drilling is planned, and the Company anticipates around 3,350m will be completed prior to Christmas.
-
Assays are anticipated to be available early in the new year.
Figure 1 – Map showing the regional location of the Abercromby Project with other major gold projects in the region also highlighted.
The drilling program underway is designed to test the nature and continuity of known gold mineralisation at the Capital prospect, which has yielded multiple thick high-grade gold intersections, including:
-
57.5m @ 5.73g/t Au from 80m;
-
58m @ 1.17g/t Au from 77m;
-
30m @ 10g/t from 164m; and
-
36m @ 4.33g/t from 100m.
In particular, drilling will focus on:
-
Testing the down dip continuity of these previous strong drill results.
-
Infill drilling of large gaps in the historical 100m/200m wide-spaced drill traverses that contain significant gold intercepts.
-
Defining shoot control for multiple high-grade gold intercepts near surface (e.g. 6m @ 9.77g/t from 12m).
