Wia Gold Limited (ASX: WIA) continues to return large zones of significant gold mineralisation in the five remaining five diamond drill holes at the Kokoseb Gold Discovery, situated on the company’s Damaran Gold Project located in Namibia.
The five diamond drillholes, located on different sections of the surface gold anomaly, including the eastern and southern extremes, confirm significant gold mineralisation across the entire anomaly.
These results include 13.1m at 2.56 g/t Au, 40.2m at 1.09 g/t Au and 30.3m at 1.97 g/t Au.
Results from the first reverse circulation (RC) hole of the RC drilling program currently underway, have returned a significant intercept of 23.0m at 1.56 g/t Au.
At the end of July, 11 holes for 2,162 RC metres had been completed at Kokoseb.
“The first phases of reconnaissance work at Kokoseb have now been successfully completed with all trenches and diamond holes returning significant results,” Chairman, Andrew Pardey, said.
“Kokoseb is an exceptional target that is open along its 6.5 km strike, and at depth. The systematic reverse circulation drilling program is progressing well and initial results have returned gold mineralised intercepts that are consistent with the diamond drilling results.
“The programme is now efficiently fast tracking the mineralisation delineation.”
All diamond drillholes completed at Kokoseb have returned significant gold mineralisation The maiden diamond drilling program completed at Kokoseb during the first half of 2022 consisted of 12 holes, totalling 1,747 metres. The holes were located along the 6.5km strike of the gold anomaly, with spacing varying from 50 metres to 1,700 metres.
Best results previously announced included 17.4m at 2.70 g/t Au (KDD001), 4.8m at 4.38 g/t Au (KDD002), 11.5m at 2.50 g/t Au (KDD003), 7.0m at 1.36 g/t Au (KDD004), 12.0m at 1.36 g/t Au (KDD005), 14.1m at 1.91 g/t Au (KDD006) and 27.0m at 1.67 g/t Au (KDD008).
With these results of the five remaining holes, every diamond hole completed at Kokoseb has returned significant gold intercepts.
KDD012 and KDD010 were both drilled proximate to drill hole KDD008 and Trenches 4 and 5, demonstrating good continuity in terms of width and grade in the mineralised zones of the area.
