Wia Gold Limited (ASX: WIA) has identified a fourth high-grade mineralised zone with the final results from a further 12 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes – KRC025 to KRC036 – completed at the Kokoseb Gold Project on the company’s Damaran Gold Project located in Namibia.
These drill holes are located on the southern flank of the anomaly (the southern trend), with the best results including 26m at 2.02 g/t Au in hole KRC036 and 20m at 2.09 g/t Au in hole KRC035.
The total continuous gold mineralised strike has been extended to 4.4 km towards the south and gold mineralisation intersected in both KRC036 and KRC035 have confirmed a fourth high-grade mineralised zone on the southernmost side of Kokoseb.
At the end of November, 45 RC holes for 8,703 have been completed at Kokoseb. The along strike reconnaissance drilling has now been completed and results are pending from the holes completed on the eastern trend. Infill drilling has commenced on the high-grade NW Zone, which is expected to be the main host of a maiden mineral estimate targeted for Q2 2023.
“The wide space reconnaissance drilling along the Kokoseb gold anomaly was an important step in identifying priority targets for infill drilling,” Chairman, Andrew Pardey, said.
“Infill drilling has now commenced at the NW Zone and will significantly ramp up with the addition of a second drill rig. We are now looking forward to the definition of a maiden mineral estimate at Kokoseb.
“We are also delighted with these latest RC drilling results that have highlighted a new high-grade zone – the fourth such zone at Kokoseb – located on the southern side of the Project. A further 1.8km of continuous mineralised strike was added, which brings the total strike length to 4.4km, some of which has been drilled with single holes at 300m spacing.
“The RC drilling programme to date has been a resounding success, as all holes have intersected gold mineralisation and at least four high-grade zones now defined. The system remains open along strike and at depth.”
Both the southernmost drillholes completed to date, KRC036 and KRC035, reported in this announcement, include thick high-grade gold mineralised intercepts that are complementary to the previous results from Trench OT008 and diamond hole KDD009. These results highlight a new zone (Southern Zone) that is completely open at both depth and along strike towards the south (towards the regional thrust), where mineralisation is inferred to be continuous at depth under the thrust.”
