Mawson Gold Limited announced Southern Cross Gold Ltd. has released three drillholes SDDSC105, 106 and 109 from the Apollo area at its 100%-owned Sunday Creek Project in Victoria, Australia. Release of assay data from two drillholes show that the Apollo Deep area is becoming higher grade at depth. SDDSC106 drilled east to west successfully traversed 6 high-grade vein sets over a 200 m interval.

This observation is considered extremely promising. Several drillholes to report (SDDSC108A, 112W1 and 116) will continue to test the trend of higher grades and thickness at depth at Apollo. SDDSC105 was terminated early due to it deviating too far from target.

The hole intercepted near-miss alteration including sericite-pyrite +/- carbonate alteration associated with mineralisation at the top of the hole over a 90 m zone from (197 m to 287 m). Highlights included 1.0 m @ 1.7 g/t AuEq (1.7 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 221.0 m and 0.4 m @ 1.7 g/t AuEq (1.7 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 225.0 m. SDDSC106 was drilled east to west through into the Apollo Deep area and successfully traversed 6 high- grade vein sets over a 200 m interval. SDDSC106 contains eight intervals >15 g/t Au (up to 59.9 g/t Au) and eight intervals of >5 % Sb (up to 34.5% Sb).

This hole confirms the mineral system is increasing in grade at depth as it does across the Sunday Creek field. This observation is considered extremely promising. Several drillholes to report will continue to test the trend of higher grades and thickness at depth at Apollo.
