De Grey Mining (DEG) reported drilling results from the Brolga Zone within the Hemi Discovery.
The dimensions of the Brolga Zone have increased by 220 metres, making it over 560 metres long, up to 300 metres wide and up to 300 metres deep.
Further positive gold assays have been received for three diamond holes and five reverse circulation drilling holes.
Results from the drilling include 11 metres at 2.1g/t of gold and 29.1 metres at 2.4g/t of gold.
De Grey says it has intersected encouraging gold mineralisation in the hanging wall and footwall sediments. The Brolga Zone is an important new aspect, as it provides additional large and potentially untested area within the Hemi prospect.
Hemi is a new discovery, with the first aircore drill results reported in December 2019. The prospect has two gold mineralisation zones — the Aquila and Brolga Zones.
These gold zones represent a major new discovery for De Grey in the Pilbara region.
“Mineralisation remains open in most directions at Brolga and now we are seeing gold in the adjacent sediments as well,” Exploration Manager Phil Tornatora said.
“Drilling is providing more detail on the deposits, possibly showing a large scale SW
plunge to mineralisation at Brolga. Many holes have encountered broad gold zones, that have finished in gold mineralisation and remain open,” he added.
De Grey will continue to drill after the company completes the priority holes at Aquila.
“We expect to provide the next update on Aquila and the aircore drilling to the north after Easter,” Phil told the market.
De Grey is up 2 per cent on the market this morning, trading for 25.5¢ per share at 10:13 am AEST.
