Forrestania Resources Limited (ASX:FRS) has received more strong assay results from field work completed at the Black Prince gold prospect in Western Australia.
Black Prince is a high priority gold target located within the central portion of the company’s flagship Forrestania Project, located approximately ~400km east of Perth in the Goldfields – Esperance region of WA.
“Today’s announcement is another excellent outcome from our field work at the Black Prince prospect, where assay results continue to demonstrate the potential of the Forrestania Project for significant gold discoveries,” CEO, Angus Thomson, said.
“At Black Prince we continue to see a strong correlation between gold anomalism from rock chips and soil sampling with northwest orientated structures identified from the geophysical survey recently completed at the Forrestania Project.
“An environmental survey has been completed at the prosect and a POW approval has recently been received with planning for an initial drill program at Black Prince now underway. This is an exciting time for Forrestania as we continue to progress our field work and approvals ahead of pending drill programmes.”
High grade rock chips at Black Prince
The latest high-grade Black Prince rock chips of 6.1g/t (FR000191), 5.6g/t (FR000145) and 4.5g/t (FR000129) continue to demonstrate the strong potential of the prospect for potentially significant gold discoveries on tenement E77/2637.
The Black Prince prospect contains very high-grade gold occurrences, with historic workings producing ~125t of ore @ 16.9g/t.
A number of smaller historical workings also occur within the tenement including Lady Lyons.
Black Prince is located ~3.6km to the south of the historical Great Southern mining centre. The Great Southern Mine recorded historic production of ~934t of ore @ 7.1g/t and runs parallel to the northwest orientated structures that have been identified at Black Prince.
The results reported from field work undertaken at the prospect continues to demonstrate and confirm a number of key exploration criteria at Black Prince, including:
• high grade rock chips up to 28.2g/t;
• identification of local and regional interpreted structures from geophysical surveys that align with the occurrence of gold anomalism;
• favourable geological setting; and
• high grade historical production.
