Wia Gold’s (WIA) latest drilling program has confirmed a fourth high-grade mineralised zone at the Kokoseb gold project in Namibia.

The company received final results from a further twelve reverse circulation drill holes completed at the project, which were drilled into the southern flank of the anomaly.

The drilling revealed a fourth zone on the southern side of Kokoseb, with results including eight metres at 2.79 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 32 metres, including four metres at 4.6 g/t gold and 20 metres at 2.09 g/t gold from 42 metres.

“The reverse circulation drilling program to date has been a resounding success, as all holes have intersected gold mineralisation and at least four high-grade zones now defined,” Wia Chairman Andrew Pardey said.

“The system remains open along strike and at depth.”

Other reverse circulation results extended the gold mineralised area a further 1.8 metres along strike to 4.4 kilometres.

The drilling returned assays including 12 metres at 1.6 g/t gold from 117 metres and four meters at 4.86 g/t gold from 68 metres.

Infill reverse circulation drilling has commenced on the NW Zone with the aim of producing a maiden mineral estimate for the second quarter of 2023.

The Kokoseb project is within Wia Gold’s wider Damaran project.

Wia Gold was up 11.1 per cent, trading at 5 cents at 1:55 pm AEDT.
