Ora Banda Mining Limited announced the next round of results from its Waihi resource definition drilling program. Both reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) operations have been centred on the Waihi deposit with solid progress achieved. Drilling has been focused on delineating and upgrading an optimal open pit Mineral Resource with potential for further resource extensions at depth. A total of 3,899 RC metres and 4,234 DD metres for 8,133 metres has been completed to date at Waihi from a total planned program of 9,845 metres. The more recent drilling continues to infill and extend early results that intersected the Waihi and Homeward Bound ore shoots at depth down plunge of the existing open pit resources. These earlier results include, but are not limited to: 23m @ 9.1g/t from 128 metres; 5.0m @ 19.2 g/t from 38 metres; 8.0m @ 4.2g/t from 36 metres; and 6.0m @ 4.7g/t from 57 metres. Of interest in the latest batch of results is hole WHDD0024 that intersected 2.0m @ 13.0g/t in a RC pre-collar that targeted the Golden Pole lode. This previously undiscovered hanging-wall structure is untested along strike for up to 270 metres (180m north & 90 metres south) and poorly tested beyond that. A further 2,500 Waihi area samples are currently awaiting processing through the assay laboratory. About the drilling results: The Waihi geological rock pile comprises high strain shearing and refolded folding which has been recognised in recent work and also by previous workers in the region. Economic mineralisation appears hosted within an Fe-rich, quartz-feldspathic biotite schist (Host Unit) with significant high-grade gold mineralisation strongly associated with increased Fe mineralogy (Biotite schist). Hole WHRC19003 that returned 23.0m @ 6.2 g/t from 57m and 17.0m @ 6.7 g/t from 77m was drilled into the host unit where the ore geometry has been influenced by a refolded fold. The intersection is related to the Homeward Bound structure, which contains a high-grade zone that displays a relatively short strike length but remain most continuous in its plunge direction, which is moderate to the north. Mineralisation modelling continues with further drilling planned. Hole WHDD018 intersected 1.6m @ 36.3g/t from 219.0 metres. This quartz vein hosted intersection is hosted within a north south shear that dips steeply to the west. The hole was designed to test the down plunge continuity of a high grade gold shoot that plunges north out of the Waihi South pit. Hole WHRC19011 returned 6.0m @ 5.5g/t from 107.0 metres, from a footwall structure that was intersected east of main Homeward Bound line of lode. The structure is poorly tested to the north and south, and further work is warranted.
