Preparing To Recommence 4500m Campaign
White Cliff Minerals Limited (ASX:WCN) has confirmed grade continuation between the King Cole prospect in the north and Pegasus in the central portion of the company’s 100% owned Reedy South Gold Project near Cue, Western Australia.
The company is preparing to recommence an ~4,500m RC programme which commenced in mid-November 2020, with ~3,000m (38 of 43 holes) completed prior to the Christmas shutdown period.
Assay results have now been received for all the 38 holes drilled to date, covering the northern end of the King Cole prospect and central portion of the project around the Pegasus prospect.
The RC rig will be remobilising to Reedy South in the first week of February to complete the deeper holes which will be targeting depth extensions to the mineral resource estimate (MRE) area.
“It is great to see the continuation of excellent assay results from all of the first 38 drillholes, and I am looking forward to the restart of drilling in the next few weeks, with the drilling targeting down dip/plunge extents to the higher-grade zones,” Technical director Ed Mead said.
“The Emu South/Triton underground mine operated by Westgold is less than 600m from our northern tenement boundary, and along strike on the RSZ, with known resources down to 500m vertical. I see significant potential to continue to advance and grow our Cue assets.” Assays from the company’s maiden drill program have shown that mineralisation extends to at least 135m below surface, with the remaining five deeper RC holes to target mineralisation up to 250m below surface. Mineralisation remains open to the south of Pegasus.
