Essential Metals Limited announced that the Juglah Dome Project is located 60km east-south-east 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 north-west and the Daisy Complex to the west, which forms part of Silver Lake Resources Limited's Mt Monger Operations.

Gold mineralisation at the Gards prospect is hosted within a felsic porphyry unit. The porphyry partially outcrops in the northern portion of the prospect with the southeast covered by a veneer of shallow lake sediments. Mineralisation observed in outcrop and previous drilling correlates with moderate to strong albite- pyrite±sericite alteration associated with quartz veining which broadly forms a sheeted vein stockwork/breccia.

The objective of the RC drill programme was to follow up gold mineralisation identified from a program of shallow air-core drilling completed in 2021, which had expanded the known extent of the felsic porphyry by over 700m. The RC drill programme targeted the 400m strike of the porphyry defined by the previous air-core as well as successfully testing for a further 400 metres along strike to the southeast where the porphyry was interpreted to lie beneath the shallow lake sediments. The Gards porphyry has now been drill defined over a strike length of 1.5km and is still open.

Historical results from a drill programme conducted in December 2020 included: 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). 6m @ 0.83 g/t Au from 53m (20GDRC026).

The March 2022 drill programme consisted of 22 RC drill holes on 7 drill lines totalling 1,915 metres drilled along the south-easterly strike of the Gards porphyry. Holes were drilled at 40m spacings on wide spaced drill lines ranging from 80m to 240m apart. Initial assay results have now been received with assays returned from either three metre composite samples or one metre rig mounted cone splits (where visual proxies of gold mineralisation in the felsic porphyry units were observed).

The one metre splits from anomalous three metre composites samples will be submitted for further gold analysis. The most significant gold intersections from this (March 2022) drilling included: 5m @ 1.08g/t Au from 35m (22GSRC002). 12m @ 0.95g/t Au from 30m (22GSRC013) - three metre composites.

8m @ 1.49g/t Au from 75m including 1m @ 7.30g/t Au (22GSRC014). 3m @ 0.73g/t Au from 57m (22GSRC003). Gold anomalism and felsic porphyry units were intersected on every drill line.

Mineralisation generally occurs within the felsic porphyry units or at the sheared margins associated with feldspar-pyrite alteration and quartz veining. The strongest gold mineralisation was returned on the section 6,568,340N in holes 22GSRC013 and 22GSRC014. The RC section spacing was 160m to the north and south of these holes with anomalous mineralisation intersected on the adjacent sections.
