After taking a hiatus over the Christmas break, Traka Resources (TKL) recommenced drilling at the Mt Cattlin Gold Project on January 2.
Drilling at the WA-based project includes 5000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling and 500 metres of diamond drilling.
The program is targeting some of the old mine sites as well as new geophysical targets that were highlighted by induced polarisation (IP) and aeromagnetic surveys completed in October 2020. It seems these targets are indicative of gold and copper mineralisation associated with large shears and intrusive bodies.
If all goes to plan, the drilling program will be completed by the end of January.
Additionally, Traka has initiated a soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping program.
Sampling is targeting extensions to old soil geochemical anomalies and a better understanding of the bedrock.
Whereas the geological mapping program will establish the geological setting and scope for multiple gold mineralised positions at the project.
Traka expects sampling and mapping will progress through to February.
Company shares are up 4.76 per cent and trading at 2.2 cents at 3:02 pm AEDT.
