Fosterville South Exploration Ltd. reported that new diamond and reverse circulation drilling at the Golden Mountain prospect within the Tallangallook Gold Project ináVictoria, Australiaáhas returned strong gold grades over considerable downhole lengths. Additional assays are pending from a review of previous diamond drilling where these drillholes drilled through the East West zone prior to the recognition of the zone's extent. Soil sampling along the corridor has revealed a 1km strike length of anomalous gold in soil associated with this previously untested zone.

Fosterville South received strong gold assay intercepts, from its nine-hole drill program of 1519 meters in total, including an intercept an intercept from surface gradingá77m at 1.14 g/t Gold fromá2m, includingá35máat 1.85 g/t Gold fromá3máat the Golden Mountain prospect located within the Tallangallook Gold Project. Five of the drill holes intersected the E-W zone while the other four holes drilled other targets. Two of the latter holes (22GMRC05 & 22GMRC10) failed to reach drill target due to ground conditions.

A reverse circulation drilling program was instigated on parts of the EW Zone to determine the extent and grade of gold mineralization within the zone, following encouraging results from grid-based soil sampling as well as review of previous drilling and the geological controls on the mineralisation in this area. The gold in soil anomaly is approximatelyá1000máin strike extent. The gold mineralisation discovered by previous drilling was found to be associated with a porphyritic, miarolitic and xenolithic granite or monzogranite.

Further petrographic studies are underway to discriminate the various granitic rock types and those rocks that have associated alteration and gold mineralisation. Further to this review and following the reverse circulation drilling results being received, it was found that previous diamond holes GMDH52 and GMDH53 had drilled through a potentially mineralised granite in their upper parts. Sampling of GMDH53 confirmed the mineralization withá38.7máat 0.79 g/t Gold fromá10.7má(see photo) and since then GMDH52 has been sampled and submitted for assay.

While some intersections are preferentially held within the granite other gold intersections are within the contact metamorphosed (hornfels) rocks nearby suggesting that there are other structural controls to the mineralisation. The granite contact is also very nonplanar, and parts of the granite are sill-shaped and mineralised. Also, the NS Zone appears to offset the EW zone and cause a larger area of dilation and potential gold mineralisation.

This EW Zone and NS Zone intersection is the apparent cause of the wider gold intercept fromá22GMRC12 of theá77máat 1.14 g/t Gold fromá2m. The results of 22GMRC08 ofá18máat 1.48 g/t Gold fromá100máare also encouraging where deeper drilling has yielded improved grade within the contact metamorphosed (hornfels) sediments near the granite contact. The intercept cut-off grades are shown in the table and they use a maximum internal waste ofá1m.

True width are not known. The assays are not capped. Coordinates are Australian projection MGA94 Zone 55.á Planned holes 22GMRC01, 22GMRC06 & 22GMRC09 were not carried out in this drilling campaign.
