Wia Gold Limited (ASX: WIA) has extended shallow mineralisation along strike with final results from 11 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes completed at the Kokoseb Gold Discovery in Namibia.
Drill holes KRC002 to KRC011 were drilled along 1.4km strike of the northern side of Kokoseb, while drill hole KRC012 is located on the western flank of the anomaly. Best results include 42m at 1.57 g/t Au, 11m at 1.87 g/t Au and 27m at 1.71 g/t Au.
At the end of September, 24 RC holes for 4,902 metres have been completed at Kokoseb, the drill rig is currently progressing towards the south on the western flank of the anomaly.
“These latest RC results demonstrate the potential to intersect in-situ significant gold mineralisation under all of the six km strike outline of the Kokoseb gold anomaly,” Wia’s Chairman, Andrew Pardey, said.
“RC drilling is quickly progressing the surface reconnaissance along strike, having already validated 1.4km strike length and currently extending the reconnaissance towards the south on the western flank of Kokoseb. Mineralisation intersected to date is open in all directions and at depth.
“We look forward to ramping up drilling activity at Kokoseb in 2023 with the addition of a second drill rig, which will focus on infilling and tracing down dip the actual results.”
RC drilling unlocks 1.4 km strike at Kokoseb
Eleven RC drill holes, KRC001 (previously reported) to KRC011, were drilled on the northern flank of the Kokoseb gold anomaly, which also includes Trench 5 and 6 results and diamond holes KDD007, KDD008, KDD010 and KDD012. T
he RC drill sections were spaced at 100m intervals on the western margin, around Trench 5 and then spaced at 200m intervals towards the east. At this stage, all sections along strike on the eastern side include single holes, the objective of which is to define the in situ mineralised zone before further systematic infill drilling commences.
The main mineralised zone of the northern flank was intersected in all drill holes at widths varying from 25m to over 50m and at vertical depths varying from surface to approximately 70m. The intersections add up to a continuous zone of 1.4km strike, part of the potential total 6km outlined by the soil anomalism and by the diamond drill holes.
KRC012 is drilled on the top part of the western flank of Kokoseb, starting the reconnaissance of the mineralised trend that wraps around the granitic pluton, which includes drill holes KDD001 to KDD006.
