Red River Resources Limited announced encouraging early results from its maiden diamond drilling program targeting the Eleanora Garibaldi Lode at its Hillgrove Gold Project in NSW, Australia. Red River plans to restart gold production from the Bakers Creek stockpile at Hillgrove by late CY2020 before resuming underground operations in CY2021. Red River has received gold assays for drill holes ELG136, ELG137 and ELG138. Other assays including antimony are still outstanding as laboratory turnaround times have increased. Drill holes ELG139, ELG140 and ELG141 have been completed and dispatched for assay. Drill holes ELG142, ELG143 and ELG144 remain to be drilled. On completion of this initial nine-hole program (expected in 8-10 days), the drill rig will commence drilling Curry's Lode targets. Initial drilling at Eleanora has confirmed the presence of the high-grade gold-antimony Eleanora vein system and adjacent halos of low to medium-grade gold mineralisation. Two of the three drilled and assayed holes, ELG136 and ELG 138, have intersected high-grade gold mineralisation: ELG136 returned 16.6m @ 2.1 g/t Au from 41.4m down hole including 4.0m @ 4.0 g/t Au from 51.0m downhole; and ELG138 returned 8.6m @ 3.2 g/t Au from 62.4m down hole including 3.7m @ 4.6 g/t Au from 63.7m downhole. Drill hole ELG141 intersected 0.70m of intensely mineralised quartz/siltstone breccia containing coarse grained visible gold, blebby stibnite & disseminated arsenopyrite from 144.85m downhole. Two large panels of the Eleanora lode were not mined historically. These areas represent potential mining fronts close to surface and the existing Hillgrove processing plant. The recent drilling has confirmed the potential to mine these remnant panels to gain access to the deeper Eleanora resources which will be converted from JORC 2004 to JORC 2012 status.
