Essential Metals Limited announced that all assays have now been received from the 92-hole/6,080m Air-Core (AC) drill programme across three prospects. Skandia (25 AC holes) results include; 8m at 1.01 g/t Au from 96m including 3m at 2.45g/t Au; and 12m at 0.50 g/t Au from 60m (hole GRA0388). Maximus (26 AC holes) results include; 3m at 3.0 g/t Au from 30m including 1m at 6.07g/t Au (hole GRA0375), and 5m at 0.75 g/t Au from 57m (hole GRA0369); and 3m at 0.89g/t Au from 24m and 6m at 0.17g/t Au from 33m (hole GRA0368). AC75 (41 AC holes) results include; 12m at 0.49 g/t Au from 51m including 3m at 1.01 g/t Au (hole GRA0415) and 9m at 0.26 g/t Au from 54m (hole GRA0451). Three of these gold targets (AC75, Skandia and Maximus) were identified to have coincident magnetic breaks, dislocations of lithological units and medium to large scale soil anomalies with potential to host >100koz. gold deposits. These targets were either previously not tested or were poorly tested. Drilling was designed to determine the source of the soil anomalism, to gain a greater understanding of the geology and to identify favourable features to support the presence of significant gold mineralisation. The Air-Core (AC) drill programme was completed in May with 92 holes drilled for a total of 6,080m. AC drilling at the Skandia Prospect tested a 600m strike length of gold, arsenic and molybdenum in-soil anomalism that is coincident with favourable aeromagnetic features and minor outcropping feldspar-phyric porphyry lithologies. The AC drilling did not intersect significant porphyry lithologies but has highlighted a thick shale/siltstone sediment unit in between two ultramafic units with moderate quartz brecciation and sulphidation observed in EOH chips. The most significant results from this drilling are; 8m at 1.01 g/t Au from 96m including 3m at 2.45g/t Au (hole GRA0454); and 12m at 0.50 g/t Au from 60m (hole GRA0388). Results from the current programme are encouraging and suggest potential for significant gold mineralisation, especially to the west and along the interpreted strike of mineralisation intersected in GRA0454. The target is 3km south and along strike of the Golden Ridge Gold Deposit and coincidentwith a large >20ppb Au soil anomaly with peak values to 174ppb Au. The best intercepts from previous drilling include; 20m at 0.62 g/t Au from 38m including 8m at 1.16g/t Au (GOC1322), 4m at 0.38 g/t Au from 12m (hole ABR0435), 4m at 0.32 g/t Au from 52m ­ to End of Hole (hole ABR0433), 2m at 0.25 g/t Au from 75m (hole GOD0401); and 1m at 0.48 g/t Au from 53m (hole GOD0404).
