Torrens Mining (TRN) has been granted one new tenement, EL7331, within its Mt Piper Gold Project in Central Victoria.
The granting of EL7331 paves the way for drilling to commence at the Northwood Hill Prospect, where a large gold anomalous corridor was found by Perseverance Mining in the early 1990s.
Torrens says the new tenement represents an exciting drill target with significant near-surface gold intercepts already identified.
Managing Director Steve Shedden says the granting of the tenement is a significant milestone for the company.
“We now have drill targets ready to go,” he said.
“Historical drilling results by Perseverance, a predecessor company to today’s Kirkland Lake Gold, the operator of the successful Fosterville Gold Mine, defined a five-kilometre highly anomalous gold corridor at Northwood Hill. Those results point to this zone being a really important, yet poorly explored, gold target,” he added.
Drilling at Northwood Hill is expected to commence in April or May.
Torrens is in the grey on the market today and is trading at 15.5 cents per share at 10:41 am AEST.
