Gascoyne Resources (GCY) has extended high-grade mineralisation at the Gilbey’s North prospect within its Dalgaranga gold operations in WA.
Ongoing resource drilling at the prospect delivered an “exceptional” result of 32 metres at 8.58 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 167 metres downhole including 14 metres at 16.4 g/t gold.
This intercept comes from hole DGRC1026 and confirms a “significant” down-dip extension of a previous result in nearby hole DGRC0971. This hole previously returned an intercept of 54 metres at 6.55 g/t gold from 116 metres including 12 metres at 20.1 g/t gold.
The company said the latest intercept demonstrates the “open at depth” potential and further confirms the consistent width and continuity of the mineralised system at Gilbey’s North.
Gascoyne Resources is continuing to drill across the Gilbey’s North, East and South prospects, as well as a the Plymouth and Sly Fox targets. The company said this work will support resource and ore reserve growth to extend the mine life at Dalgaranga.
The company is currently completing a maiden mineral resource estimate for the Gilbey’s North prospect and expects it will be delivered by the end of August.
GCY shares were up 4.08 per cent to trade at 25.5 cents at 11:42 am AEST.
