DiscovEx Resources Limited announce that all composite assay results have been returned from a total of 188 AC holes completed at the Spartan Prospect, part of an 80:20 joint venture with Gateway Mining Limited. The first pass reconnaissance drilling was completed in two phases, consisting of 37 holes within phase one and 151 holes in phase two. Both phases were designed to test down to the fresh bedrock interface beneath and along strike of a 1.3km long +50ppb gold in soil anomaly.

Single metre re-splits have also been received from anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) composite samples taken as part of phase one drilling. Results have confirmed bedrock gold mineralisation has been intersected with significant results of 4m@1.24g/t Au from 82m, including 1m@3.42g/t Au from 82m (SPAC016), 1m@1.35g/t Au from 62m (SPAC128) and 1m@1.06g/t Au from 74m (SPAC026). The elevated bedrock results have highlighted three high priority target areas including two coherent "structural"zones of anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) bedrock gold defined over strike lengths of ~650m.

Together with the bedrock mineralisation, significant gold has also been intersected within transported overburden with best results of 8m@1.64g/t Au from 29m including 4m@2.82g/t Au from 32m (SPAC017). The relationship between the significant accumulation of gold in transported cover and the bedrock gold at Spartan has not yet been resolved, however the identification of gold within sheared, altered bedrock is encouraging and provides targets for further follow up. Confirmation of the extensive and significant accumulation of near surface gold at Spartan and the bedrock mineralisation beneath it highlights the broader prospectivity of the project area.
