Continues To Build Exciting Hemi Gold Story
De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) has intersected wide zones of consistent gold mineralisation in near surface 40m x 40m resource definition (infill) drilling at the Brolga zone within its world-class Hemi gold discovery in Western Australia.
Key hits include: 78m @ 2.8g/t Au from 33m; 127m @ 2.1g/t Au from 34m; 144m @ 2.3g/t Au from 37m; 108m @ 2.2g/t Au from 65m; 93m @ 1.3g/t Au from 101m and 83m @ 2.3g/t Au from 140m.
Managing Director, Glenn Jardine, said mineralisation remains open down dip on the section and will be extended in future drilling programmes.
“The results returned from near surface resource definition drilling have confirmed the scale, consistency and endowment of the Brolga zone at Hemi,” Mr Jardine said.
“The new results also demonstrate Brolga’s amenability to large scale, low strip ratio, open pit mining. The resource definition drilling is being undertaken to support the confidence of the maiden resource for Hemi timed for mid-year.
“The company currently has four RC rigs operating in the Greater Hemi area. These are deployed drilling extensional and exploration targets at Diucon/Eagle, south of Falcon, south of Brolga and at Scooby. Three diamond rigs are extending depth potential across Hemi. Three aircore rigs are advancing exploration for new discoveries.”
Resource definition (infill) drilling has now been undertaken at each of the zones at Hemi, including at Brolga.
Wide zones of shallow gold mineralisation have been intersected on section 30680E which is 40m east of the original discovery section 30640E.
Extensional drilling is currently underway to the west and south of Brolga. This drilling is following up previously reported results in the west of Brolga including 256.0m @ 0.9g/t Au from 287m in HERC392D and potential shallower extensions into the Brolga South area.
