Echo Resources Limited announced the latest results from reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Mt Joel (70% Echo) gold district within the Yandal Gold Project. Drilling at Mt Joel is part of Echo's strategy to add incremental, near surface ounces to further enhance a planned restart of the Bronzewing processing facility in 2019. 165 reverse circulation (RC) drill-holes for 11,008m completed at Mt Joel Recent results show significant and consistent gold mineralisation at shallow levels Expected to result in the addition of quality, open-pittable oxide ounces Significant results returned from the RC drilling include: 16m @ 24.10 g/t Au from 26m (MJRC119); 27m @ 11.43 g/t Au from 45m (MJRC048); 4m @ 11.10 g/t Au from 12m (MJRC038); 11m @ 5.92 g/t Au from 29m (MJRC125); 15m @ 4.12 g/t Au from 80m (MJRC018); 9m @ 3.72 g/t Au from 10m, (MJRC002); 8m @ 3.46 g/t Au from 27m (MJRC122); 4m @ 5.67 g/t Au from 85m AND 5m @ 6.89 g/t Au from 93m (MJRC024); New Resource Estimate for Mt Joel expected in March Qtr 2019 Revised Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) for the Yandal Gold Project expected to be finalised in March Qtr 2019 Echo has completed an aggressive drilling program in the Mt Joel district targeted at delineation of quality, near surface, oxide ounces. The RC program was designed to further define and increase confidence in the mineralization defined from the air core (AC) drilling that was reported on 30 November and 21 December 2018. The RC and AC drill holes were drilled with the view to define `Indicated' resources and this drilling has confirmed, extended and increased the confidence in the mineralisation. Completing a new JORC-2012 compliant resource for Mt Joel is now a priority. The results from drilling have provided confidence that there exists potential to define significant, open-pittable resources over several satellite pits in the Mt Joel district. Concurrently, hydrogeological studies and geotechnical drilling are being undertaken to provide the option for Mt Joel to be brought into the life-of- mine plan as soon as possible. The RC results have further enhanced the understanding of the Mt Joel mineralised system and provide Echo with confidence that significant additional oxide material from Mt Joel is likely to be incorporated into the Yandal Gold Project mine plan. Consistent, high-grade results such as 16m @ 24.10 g/t Au from 26m (MJRC119), 27m @ 11.43 g/t Au from 45m (MJRC048) and 11m @ 5.92 g/t Au from 29m highlight the high quality, near surface nature of the mineralisation. Following on from the success of the AC and RC drilling campaigns, work has commenced on an updated JORC 2012-compliant resource estimate for Mt Joel. It is expected that the majority of this estimate will be classified in the `Indicated' category. Completion of the updated resource estimate for Mt Joel is expected in the March quarter 2019.
