White Rock Minerals (WRM) has intersected up to 621 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from the Gap Zone at the Morning Star gold mine in Victoria.
Diamond drilling recently restarted at the Gap Zone following the focus on the Dickenson, Stacpoole and Whitelaw North areas.
The success of that drilling provided White Rock with the momentum to begin pre-production development work ahead of recommencing gold production in Q3 2022.
To date, 13 diamond holes, totalling 2156 metres, have been drilled at the Gap Zone with the work identifying at least 10 quartz reef structures over the 200-metre vertical depth.
So far, 150 metres of the 600-metre strike has been tested and White Rock will continue drilling to test the remainder of the strike with a further 25 diamond holes planned.
Drilling of the 150 metres has provided enough data to develop a working interpretation of the distribution and geometry of the gold mineralised quartz reef.
The result of 621 g/t gold confirms White Rock’s priority of targeting high-grade gold for drill testing.
White Rock’s main aim of drilling at Morning Star is to identify and drill areas that have the potential to host multiple high-grade quartz reefs.
Shares in White Rock were up 9.09 per cent and were trading at 12 cents at 11:32 am AEST.
