Essential Metals Limited announced the air-core drilling expands porphyry zone at Juglah Dome ­ Gards Prospect to over 1km of strike. Golden Ridge Gold Project: Air-core drilling at the AC75, Scandia and Maximus prospects is almost complete and all assays are expected in the first half of June. Pioneer Dome Lithium Project: Exploration activities continue with the focus on commencing a drill programme early in the September Quarter to expand the Mineral Resource (currently 11.2Mt @ 1.21% Li2O) and to test for new mineralized pegmatites in the surrounding area. 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. A total of 24 air-core (AC) holes totalling 420m were drilled to the south-east of the Gards target at Juglah Dome. The aim of this drilling was to define the location of the felsic porphyry and extend the known mineralisation to the south-east of southern-most RC intersection of 8m @ 2.18g/t Au (20GDRC034) into an area of thin alluvial cover. The drilling successfully expanded the known extent of felsic porphyry that hosts the gold mineralisation at Gards by over 700m, and it remains open to the south-east. Due to the hardness of the porphyry unit, the air-core holes could not penetrate more than 1 or 2m into the potentially mineralised zone. Assays at or close to bottom of hole have confirmed that the felsic porphyry is mineralised for at least 700m to the south-east of the previous RC drilling. Results included: 4m @ 0.29g/t from 17m (to EOH) in 21GSAC003. 4m @ 0.22g/t from 12m (to EOH) in 21GSAC004. 2m @ 0.18g/t from 15m (to EOH) in 21GSAC016. 1m @ 0.15g/t from 17m in 21GSAC024. With the trend of the mineralised porphyry defined, follow-up RC drilling can now be planned to test the entire thickness of the intrusion. It is anticipated that thicker and potentially higher grade intersections will be returned from testing the full thickness of the porphyry unit. Interpretation and modelling of the results will be carried out. This will assist in determining the scope of future drill programmes, including Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling into the porphyry unit to determine the tenor and thickness of gold mineralisation as well as further testing of the strike potential where the mineralisation remains open and untested to the south.
