EganStreet Resources announced that its strategy to increase the 401,000-ounce Resource at its Rothsay gold project in WA is delivering promising results, with regional drilling returning numerous high-grade intersections. The results come from 30 RC holes drilled outside the current Rothsay resource. The programme tested the upper zone of the Woodley's northern extension as well as the gold mineralization on the Clyde North and Miners Shears. This regional RC drilling was designed to test the gold mineralization on the Clyde North and Miners Shears. Six RC holes were drilled into the Miners Shear with one significant intersection of 1m at the rate of 12.3g/t. This intersection is in a similar position to RYDD061 where 1m at the rate of 7g/t Au was previously reported from 237m. MWRC015 did not intersect the shear. Access in this area is limited and the vertical orientation was not ideal to enable an intersection. The five RC holes drilled on the Clyde Shear (CLRC017-021) did not intersect any significant mineralisation. However, further work is required in this area on the geological interpretation. The remaining drilling in the current programme on the Clyde Shear will test the area between the northern Proterozoic dykes where significant historical shallow intersections have been previously reported. Nineteen RC holes were completed as a part of the Woodley's northern extension programme, which was designed to extend the gold resource on the main Woodley's Shear to the north of the current resource. A study on six previously drilled diamond holes indicated that the Woodley's horizon continues and has the potential to host additional resources. Thin shear veining was intersected in three of the holes (RYDD026, RYDD027 and RYDD036) with associated elevated gold grades (0.5g/t Au, 1.5g/t Au and 2.0g/t Au respectively). Sulphide minerals akin to the Woodley's resource were also present in variable quantities. A direct follow-up of narrow but high-grade intersections in historical drilling to the north of Woodley's Shear included diamond drill hole MRD264 with 0.6m at the rate of 29.2g/t Au. The historical core from MRD264 (and a short wedge hole MRD264A) was sourced from the EganStreet yard in Perenjori and was assessed. A visible free gold-bearing laminated quartz reef was observed. This intersection is several metres into the hangingwall of the Woodley's Shear. A BQ sized wedge off this hole (MRD264/1) also intersected the laminated reef, confirming continuance. Other historical RC assays included; MRP77 at 119g/t Au and MRP57 at 30g/t Au. Results were positive for the Woodley's northern extension programme showing a potential moderate north plunging trend that extends 200m past the current resource. The results include: 2m at the rate of 26.3g/t Au from 33m (RNRC030); 1m at the rate of 5.2g/t Au from 67m (RNRC032); 1m at the rate of 4.5g/t Au from 96m (RNRC033) and 1m at the rate of 4.2g/t Au from 61m (RNRC026) An infill drilling programme is required to confirm this positive trend. RC drilling is continuing with a further 28 holes underway to test the Clyde and Miners Shears. A significant exploration programme is also planned to start in August 2018. This will test the southern portion of the Woodley's Shear following recent modifications to tenement conditions on M59/39 and M59/40 which allow drilling to the south of the current Mineral Resource. The programme will consist of up to 42 holes with a combination of both diamond and RC drilling for approximately 6,700m. Several of these holes are planned to be drilled in an oblique grid orientation that is perpendicular to the interpreted ultramafic trend to test stratigraphy and structure in this area.
