Essential Metals Limited announced encouraging results from drilling at Juglah Dome expand the potential at Gards. Drilling confirms continuity of gold mineralisation at the Gards Prospect and shows it broadens to the south where it remains open and untested. Highlights include: All assays now received from the 23-hole/2,355m Reverse Circulation (RC) drill programme completed on 17 December 2020 across four prospects - Gards, Golden Shovel, Moonbaker and Dwyer. The best intersections from the 11 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes drilled at the Gards Prospect include: 8m @ 2.18 g/t Au from 34m including 1m @ 6.69g/t Au (20GDRC034); 3m @ 2.06 g/t Au from 90m including 1m @ 5.63g/t Au (20GDRC033); and 6m @ 0.83 g/t Au from 53m (20GDRC026). The best intersections from the four RC holes drilled at the Moonbaker Prospect include: 4m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 76m (20MBRC021); and 6m @ 0.61 g/t Au from 54m (20MBRC023). The Juglah Dome Project is located ~60km east-southeast of Kalgoorlie and is highly prospective for gold mineralisation. Exploration by previous owners identified multiple gold targets using soil geochemistry and drilling. The Project lies in a similar geological setting to that which hosts the Majestic and Imperial Deposits located 10km to the northwest and the Daisy Complex to the west, which forms part of Silver Lake Resources Limited's Mt Monger Operations. The Gards Prospect was a priority drill target with 1.2km of mineralised porphyry outcrop/sub-crop having been identified. The December 2020 drilling programme consisted of 11 RC holes totaling 1,093m, testing a strike length of approximately 750m on a nominal 160m x 40m spacing with four fences completed to the north and south of the previous (2003) drilling. The best results returned are as follows: The targeted porphyry units and quartz veining were intersected in each hole with down-hole widths ranging from 1m and up to 40m being encountered. Holes on all four of the completed drill lines intersected quartz veining and associated albite-hematite-pyrite-carbonate alteration. The prospect was previously drill tested in 2003 with six holes completed on one section, two of which returned: 9m @ 1.15g/t Au from 33m (GFRC033); and 7m @ 1.47g/t Au from 74m (GFDD001). Further south, the porphyry unit is obscured by alluvial cover before intersecting what is interpreted to be a strong NW-SW trending structure. This intersection position represents a structural target for gold mineralisation and warrants testing with follow up drilling. Drilling in the northern portion of the prospect has identified that the Gards and Footwall porphyries are two separate intrusive bodies separated by a central sediment. To the south they merge into a single thicker intrusive body. Previous exploration completed at Moonbaker consisted of extensive soil sampling and shallow RAB drilling that highlighted widespread sporadic anomalism. This RAB drilling included hole JDRB0327, which intersected 12m @ 5.4g/t Au (incl. 6m @ 9.6g/t Au) from 9m to EOH. The Golden Shovel drilling targeted mineralisation in porphyry (similar to Gards prospect) and a 2-3m thick mineralized chert horizon that has been targeted by old workings. Gold mineralisation in both lithologies was associated with north-east striking quartz veining. Mineralisation had been confirmed in previous rock-chip samples of up to 2.33g/t Au. Six RC holes totalling 642m were drilled, testing three main areas. The three drill holes drilled beneath the small Golden Shovel workings intersected a ~20m thick porphyry unit with multiple narrow zones of brecciated quartz veining and associated weak albite-hematite-pyrite-carbonate alteration. The Dwyer Prospect is located in the northern portion of the Juglah Dome tenement and is just 3km south-southwest of the Trojan Gold Mine. Multiple parallel features were identified in the recently re-processed magnetic images that transect the area towards the Trojan Gold Mine. The targeted structures were intersected however no significant mineralisation was returned.
