Torian Resources (TNR) has progressed its 17,500-metre drilling campaign at the Mt Stirling Gold Project in the Goldfields region of WA.
Assays from reverse circulation drilling at the Hydra prospect have been received from the first five holes.
Results included 2 metres at 2.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 106 metres. Gold mineralisation dispersion was also present up-dip and along strike.
Primary gold associated within a quartz-feldspar porphyry unit were identified, however the interpreted high-grade footwall contact has not yet been fully tested.
Results from the remaining central and southeast areas will be drill tested once the reverse circulation drilling has been rounded off at Tyrannus. The company said it anticipates receiving the results from Tyrannus before Christmas.
Torian’s Executive Director, Peretz Schapiro said the company is pleased with the technical success of its first pass reverse circulation program at Hydra as it continues to develop its high priority targets at the Mt Stirling Gold Project.
“Our drilling program has made fantastic progress to date, with the procurement of additional rigs to put us ahead of schedule,” Mr Schapiro said.
“We continue to be pleased by the efficiency of our drill program and turnaround time on assays from the lab.”
To expedite the drilling program, Torian has secured three drilling contractors who will be drilling throughout January.
The company said it aims to have an updated global MRE for the Mt Stirling Gold Project by the end of Q1 2022.
Torian Resources was up 5.26 per cent, trading at 2 cents at 3:20 pm AEDT.
