Sampling Programme Discovers High Grade Rock Chips
Terrain Minerals Limited (ASX: TMX) has returned “exciting” market field observation and corresponding rock chip sample results whilst undertaking the September 2020 RC drill programme at its Smokebush Gold Project in Western Australia.
The recently identified historic workings are located some ~500m away from Terrains Maiden RC drilling program at Smokebush Gold Project. These impressive rock chip results highlight the potential for an additional ~500m of untested strike extension along trend from the current drilling activity.
Samples obtained include:
- 3.41 g/t Au – Sample description: Glassy quartz vein in working
- 7.09 g/t Au – Sample description: Felsic with fine stockwork veining
- 100 g/t Au – Sample description: Glassy quartz vein in working
Drill samples were selectively sampled in the field by the onsite geologist. Partial results have been received back and the data has been merged with the historic drilling data set over Monza. It was decided that all outstanding samples needed to be processed.
These samples where submitted on the 28th of September 2020 with laboratories currently experiencing high demand and sample turnover has been slower than normal.
The Terrain geologist is now back from four weeks of annual leave and is currently reviewing the combined data. Executive Director, Justin Virgin, said the observations and results from sampling activities have confirmed that the area is highly prospective for gold exploration.
