The highlights of this round of results include 4m @ 45.5g/t Au from 341m, including 1.33m @ 129.3g/t Au from 341.75m intersected in RXDD022 and 16m @ 4.22g/t Au from 56m, including 3m @ 16.4g/t Au from 66m and 3m @ 4.1g/t Au from 203m intersected in RXDD024 at Junction.
Managing Director Alex Passmore commented:
“We are very pleased to report strongly mineralised intersections in a newly identified structure near the Youanmi mine and up-sequence from the main-lode ore body. This an exciting development as it lies within a previously untested area.
In addition, extension and infill drilling at Junction continues to deliver highgrade results that will contribute to resource growth at Youanmi and is likely to add ounces in crucial areas that will improve project economics.”
