The Company is already in the process of following up the Estera Lode discovery with an additional 750m of RC drilling planned, as it looks to extend the strike of the system as well as test for down dip continuity. Drilling on strike extensions to south-east has commenced with drilling in-progress.
This campaign at Diorite kicks off a new phase of extensive drilling at the

inc 1m @ 18.79 g/t Au from 55m;
And 1m @ 7.41 g/t Au from 64m (DIRC031).
High-grade mineralisation is interpreted as a sub-parallel zone to recent intercept of 2m @ 12.18 g/t Au from 20m (DIRC030; ASX 27/10/2021); inc 1m @ 14.67 g/t Au from 21m
With primary gold confirmed at Diorite North, focus will be on extending strike extent and down-dip continuity of
An immediate 750m of RC follow-up has commenced to extend strike and down-dip continuity, with drill rig @ Prospect in-progress on drillhole PDH80 (DIRC032; See Table 3).
4 strike extensional RC DHs for a planned 360m will be followed up with 2 down-dip targeted drill holes, from adjoining line of Historical Workings to south-west in order to drill test interpreted multiple sub-parallel mineralised horizons.
Four Historical Mines nearby produced at above an ounce per tonne.
Of significant historical interest,
Torian's Diorite tenure hosts numerous historical mines and workings including the historic Diorite King mine that produced at 76 g/t Au.
The Unexpected Mine Workings along with Diorite King, Diorite Queen and Kiaora-Meteor prospects, all share structural links.
