Metal Hawk (MHK) has received assays from its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Kanowna East Project in Western Australia.
A total of 12 RC holes, for 1325 metres, were drilled to test multiple gold anomalies identified via Metal Hawk’s recent aircore drilling at the Little Lake and Western Tiger prospects.
Best results from Little Lake include four metres at 17.8 grams of gold per tonne (g/t) from 75 metres, including one metre at 42.7g/t gold from 76 metres.
Results from Western Tiger include five metres at 1.95g/t gold from 70 metres and five metres at 1.59g/t gold from 80 metres.
These results provided Metal Hawk geologists with their first look at the bedrock geology at both Little Lake and Western Tiger
Managing Director Will Belbin is pleased with the results.
“Our first RC drilling program at Kanowna East has further highlighted the potential of this gold project,” Mr Belbin said.
“Following the company’s nickel sulphide discovery at Berehaven and the successful capital raising in October, the company is very well positioned to continue delivering exploration success across its highly prospective gold and nickel projects.”
Metal Hawk will now undertake further RC drilling to follow up on these gold intercepts.
Shares in Metal Hawk were up 19.7 per cent on the market and were trading at 36.5 cents at 11:26 am AEDT.
