Alliance Resources Ltd. provided an update on drilling assay results received to-date from diamond and RC drilling completed at the Weednanna Au-Fe Deposit (Weednanna), located 45 km north of Kimba on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. During 2021, Alliance completed 6 diamond holes, totalling 1,560.6m, and 47 RC holes, for 6,189m. The Company has experienced significant delays in the receipt of assay results from these drill programs due to high industry demand for diamond drill core cutting and sampling services and mineral laboratory analysis, which has also been impacted by labour shortages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alliance routinely announces the results of its drilling programs to the ASX upon the receipt of the final, complete, and interpreted drill assay data to provide a considered and balanced judgement of their significance. The current ASX Announcement contains preliminary and incomplete drill assay data but is being released to provide an update to investors following the receipt of an off-market takeover bid from Gandel Metals. Between August and October 2021 six diamond holes (21WDDH001-006), totalling 1,560.6 metres, were drilled at Weednanna to provide drill core samples for research by the CSIRO.

Five of the drill holes were designed to intersect known high-grade gold mineralisation at Shoots 1, 3, 4 and 5E and the sixth hole was designed to test the host rocks, potential mineralising structures, and granite intrusions at depth beneath the deposit. All drill-core has been cut and ¼ core sampled and is being analysed for gold and a broad range of elements before being sent to the CSIRO. Assay results have been received for holes 21WDDH001-004.

The outcomes of this drilling program and assay results received to date are discussed for each drill hole below. Hole 21WDDH001 was designed to test the eastern end of Shoot 1 in an area where RC holes 17WDRC003 and 19WDRC140 returned 57m @ 5.5 g/t Au from 45m and 27m @ 7.6 g/t Au from 34m respectively. Hole 21WDDH001 intersected 37.4m @ 3.32 g/t Au from 40.7m including 8.85m @ 9.35g/t Au from 58.5m.

Gold mineralisation is hosted within granite and is associated with disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite and moderate to strong chlorite-sericite alteration. Hole 21WDDH002 was designed to test the western end of Shoot 1 near RC hole 06WDRC007 that returned 36m @ 6.3 g/t Au from 54m. Hole 21WDDH002 intersected 41.55m @ 3.41 g/t Au from 54.4m including 16.8m @ 6.97 g/t Au from 70.6m including 9.15m @ 11.28 g/t Au from 72.85m.

Gold mineralisation is hosted within granite and is associated with disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite and generally chlorite-sericite alteration. High-grade gold correlates with a biotite schist zone and surrounding strong chlorite and moderate sericite altered granite with strong disseminated sulphide and local net textured and massive sulphide.
