The Directors of Prospech Limited ('Prospech' or 'the Company') (ASX: PRS) advise that all assay results for the Anton prospect 2021 drilling program have been received. A stacked series, gold and silver mineralised quartz veins were intersected in the drilling.
ForThis is the first modern exploration drilling at Anton where past records report mining to a depth of over 500 metres below surface. Drill sites selected by the Company for this initial drill program are generally shallower targets where historical records indicate that effective mining was prevented by water ingress due to the capability of primitive pumps of the era.
The Anton target, which lies within the Company's 100%-ownedHodrusa-Hamre exploration licence, is a large system of epithermal gold and silver of veins, with a known strike length of at least 3.5 kilometres. The broader Anton structural zone trends further for more than 6.0 kilometres into the Unverzaght and Schopfer historical mines and exploration targets.

Whilst assay results are sub-economic, a series of stacked gold and silver mineralised quartz veins were intersected in the drilling, warranting follow up drilling. VADD006 was the final drill hole at Anton for the 2021 campaign and returned assay results up to 3.49 g/t Au and 214 g/t Ag. The Sprochova vein target has now been intersected by 3 holes (VADD004, 5 and 6), providing reliable structural data to assist in the design of the follow up drilling program.
onlySpoil heap samples, which are thought to originate from the Anton structure near the drilling targets are strongly mineralised. The average of assays from 57 grab samples was 3.95 g/t Au and 214 g/t Ag. The peak assays from this group of samples were 52.6 g/t Au and 1,445 g/t Ag.

Prospech Managing Director Jason Beckton comments:
"Encouraging gold and silver grades from the first modern drilling of the large, historic Anton mine lends encouragement for follow up drilling targeting thicker, high grade shoots.
Importantly, the results demonstrate that previously un-mined and un-drilled gold and silver mineralised structures remain to be discovered at Anton, warranting further exploration.
onlyDrilling in our flagship Hodrusa-Hamre project area is scheduled to recommence early in the summer 2022 field season. As recently reported, the IP survey exploring the gold hosting LANF structure, has revealed a number of anomalies in favourable geological settings. Drilling of these anomalies is assigned a high priority for 2022, followed by targets at the Anton, Unverzaght, Schopfer and Kopanice prospects.
By virtue of its lower altitude and milder winter conditions, it is our intention our first drilling campaign for 2022 will be the Cejkov-Zemplin project in a Phase 2 follow up of encouraging silver intersections reported in 2021."
