The latest down-dip extension drilling at Beachcomber Main Lode has extended the mineralised footprint and grown the high-grade plunging shoot, which remains open at depth.
Highlight intercepts include 2.0m at 20.95 grams per tonne (g/t) from 266m, including 1.0m at 41.30 g/t.
CEO, Oliver Judd, said the intersections have confirmed continuity of high-grade gold to 250m vertical depth.
“Following completion of the program on schedule and on budget, it’s pleasing to see the assays deliver on what the team expected,” he said.
“This latest round of drilling at Beachcomber has continued to grow the footprint of the high-grade Beachcomber Main Lode with some further spectacular high-grade intercepts.
“Mineralisation is now consistently intercepted over 300m in strike and to a depth of 250m with the high-grade shoot open at depth for further expansional drilling.
“The Beachcomber Main Lode is one of several targets tested across the broader Beachcomber Prospect during this latest round of drilling, these results are set to be released shortly and will hopefully add to a growing gold story.”
The latest results are the first batch of assays from the recently completed 7,426m, 46-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the broader Beachcomber prospect, part of the Forelands project.
Assay results from the remainder of the Beachcomber prospect are set to be released shortly.
A program was completed in April across the broader Beachcomber prospect with several compelling targets tested. The Beachcomber Main Lode received 17 RC holes for 3,652m.
These results are in addition to the previously reported high-grade drilling results at the Beachcomber Main Lode undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti and BPM Minerals with highlight hits including 3.0m at 65.8 g/t from 25m and 9.0m at 7.77 g/t from 75m, including 2.0m at 21.73 g/t from 75m and 1.0m at 23.39 g/t from 83m.
BPM is up 8.11% to 20.0¢. Mkt cap 24.08M.
