Siren Managing Director and CEO, Victor Rajasooriar commented:
“Lyell has the potential to be the jewel in the Reefton Project crown with the recent rock chips samples from the Victory United Reef showing immense potential and warranting a drilling program to unlock the value. Our geological team are looking forward to drilling once all approvals are in place and replicating the surface rock chips and trenching data gathered to date. The recently received unsolicited, non-binding, indicative offer from Federation Mining Pty Ltd certainly highlights the significance of the Siren tenement package within the Reefton Goldfields.”
Victory United Reef
The Victory United Reef is located at the northern end of the 5km long mineralised system that includes the historic Alpine United mine that produced 80koz @ 17 g/t Au. An outcrop of the Victory United Reef was discovered in October 2022 when a flood removed gravel and exposed the bedrock (refer announcement dated 8 March 2023). The mineralised zone comprised a 0.5m quartz reef surrounded by approximately 2m of disseminated arsenopyrite rich mineralisation. The quartz reef contained significant visible gold with a float sample several metres from the outcrop assay 205g/t Au (Figure 1). Channel samples of the reef (Figure 2) ranged from 15g/t Au to 70g/t Au and disseminated arsenopyrite mineralisation ranged from 1.4g/t Au to 42g/t Au (see announcement dated 8 March 2023).
