Abercromby is located on the Wiluna Greenstone Belt, one of the state's most significant goldproducing regions with a gold endowment of +40Moz Au, and surrounded by
Eight RC drill holes have been completed to-date, while the remaining 10 holes are expected to be completed in the coming weeks. In addition, a diamond rig is also scheduled to arrive on site early next month to complete diamond tails. The deeper diamond drilling will test the depth continuity of the known high-grade gold mineralisation. Geological logging of these initial eight holes has indicated that drilling has intersected multiple intervals of intense hydrothermal alteration characterised by quartz-carbonate-sericite veining and with minor sulphides.
The Company is awaiting receipt of laboratory assays to confirm the extent of any gold mineralisation intersected, with first assays expected by
'This current phase of the drilling campaign is designed to further test the nature and continuity of the known high-grade gold mineralisation, and to test some additional new targets. 'We're now around a third of the way through the 6,000m program, and are encouraged by the drill results seen to date. We look forward to further positive results as the drilling continues and receiving the first round of assay results in the coming weeks.'
Drill campaign
The majority of the holes drilled to date are around the Capital Prospect. Encouragingly, a number of drill holes intersected intervals of intense hydrothermal alteration with breccias containing quartzcarbonate-sericite veining with minor sulphides. This kind of mineralogy is known to be associated with gold mineralisation intersected previously within the Abercromby project area.
