40.8m At 2.80g/t Gold In Drilling At Yarrol Project, Queensland

Many Peaks Gold Limited (ASX:MPG) (Many Peaks or the Company) is pleased to announce additional assay results from diamond drill core sampling completed concurrent with follow-up structural study work on diamond drilling reported earlier this year for the Yarrol Gold Project (Yarrol). Yarrol is located 50km northwest of Evolution Mining Ltd’s (ASX:EVN) Mt Rawdon gold operation and 70km northwest of Many Peaks’ Mt Steadman Gold Project. Drilling is planned to commence in September at both Yarrol and Mt Steadman.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assaying of previously unsampled open-ended gold mineralisation in recent diamond drilling at the Yarrol Gold Project returns:
    • 40.8m @ 2.80 g/t gold from 38m depth, including:
      • 6m @ 2.85g/t gold from 38m,
      • 7m @ 3.17g/t gold from 49m in new results, assayed up-hole of the previously reported,
      • 17.8m @ 4.01g/t gold from 61m depth
  • Several intercepts of visible gold
  • Structural review of drill core demonstrates the potential for west dipping sheeted quartz hosted high- grade gold mineralisation at Yarrol which were inadequately tested by historical drilling
  • Open gold mineralisation yet to be tested at multiple prospects
  • Follow up diamond core drilling at the Yarrol Gold Project to commence in September
Additional sampling completed up-hole of previously announced gold intercepts in diamond drilling at Yarrol have extended significant gold intercepts returning 40.8m @ 2.80g/t gold from 38m in hole YA187 (including the previously reported 17.8m @ 4.01g/t gold – refer to ASX release dated 2 May 2023). Follow-up sampling results also returned an intercept of 11.15m @ 1.17g/t gold from 32.35m depth in hole YA188 located 1.1km north of hole YA187 (Figure 1).

Many Peaks’ Executive Chairman, Travis Schwertfeger commented:

“Follow-up sampling of drill core at Yarrol has significantly extended the significant gold intercept in hole YA187 up-hole, returning a result of greater than 100 gram metres [grade times thickness]. More exciting for our team is the identification of a west dipping sheeted vein set, poorly tested by historical drilling at Yarrol. The updated structural model generates an opportunity to demonstrate continuity and significantly increase volume of the high-grade gold mineralisation at Yarrol with optimised drill orientations.”

“Vein density is typically a key controlling factor to the tenor of gold in IRG systems. Success in our upcoming drill campaign at Yarrol has the potential to outline a substantial Exploration Target for continued delineation drilling.”

Diamond Drilling Results, Yarrol Project

Significant intercepts for gold mineralised zones in Yarrol drill results reported earlier this year have been extended up-hole from additional sampling in diamond holes YA187 and YA188.

Drill hole YA187 was partially assayed in first pass sampling that focused on a broad zone of mineralised intrusion returning 17.8m @ 4.01g/t gold from 61m where an array of sheeted quartz veining (including several intercepts of visible gold) is associated with strong alteration around each vein in the intrusion related gold (IRG) system.

Additional sampling has extended the mineralised zone by a further 23m up-hole, upgrading the significant intercept to 40.8m @ 2.80g/t gold from 38m depth in YA187.

The additional results in the 23m interval reported include 6m @ 2.85g/t gold from 38m drill depth and 7m @ 3.17g/t gold from 49m depth in combined intercept averaging 2.80g/t gold over a 40.8m interval from 38m depth.

Veining outside of the more intense zones of alteration previously sampled were recognised during the structural review of core. A similar style of veining associated with different alteration styles was highlighted and triggered additional sampling work to define controls on gold mineralisation. This has significantly extended the width of the intrusion hosted mineralised zone.

Drill hole YA188, located 1.1km north of YA187, targets the northern extent of 500m long zone of drilled gold mineralisation that remains open for follow-up. Follow- up sampling of YA187 in its entirety has returned multiple additional significant intercepts up-hole from the previously reported 12m @ 0.91g/t gold including 11.15m @ 1.17g/t gold from 32.35m.

Structural Study, Yarrol Project

Recent diamond core drilling has undergone a structural review, focused on defining controls of gold mineralisation in the IRG system at the Yarrol Gold Project. Significant gold intercepts at Yarrol are associated with an array of gold bearing quartz veinlets formed on several groupings of orientations within the intrusion host. The vein array includes a significant density of veins (including several veins hosting visible gold) on an interpreted west dipping orientation associated with higher grade gold intervals across a broad zone of the mineralised corridor.

Importantly, the historical drilling at Yarrol predominantly targeted east dipping mineralisation with holes drilled west to northwest, sub-parallel and sub-optimally oriented to assess vein density of west to northwest dipping vein sets highlighted in the recent diamond drilling. Additional sampling of the mineralised corridor with drilling better exposed to intersect the west dipping vein array has potential to increase volume of mineralised material for the project through both extensions of open- ended mineralisation and demonstrating continuity of the current shallowly drilled gold mineralisation.

Follow-up drilling on optimised drill orientations is planned to commence in September to confirm the structural model and assess the impact of multiple vein sets on the overall grade, volume and continuity of gold mineralisation at Yarrol.

Western Australian METS Companies Awarded AU$1.25 Million in Funding

The Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) said on Wednesday (October 30) that it is awarding five companies with research funding through its Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) Innovation Program.

The funding totals AU$1.25 million, with Aquirian (ASX:AQN), Total Marine Technology, Big Roller Overland Conveyor Company, Electric Power Conversions Australia and CMG Operations receiving AU$250,000 each.

The WA government said it prioritizes “projects that will directly accelerate the development of companies, products and new markets benefiting the Western Australian economy” for the METS Innovation Program.

Aquirian, the only publicly listed company receiving the grant, will allocate the funding for developing automation for its existing Collar Keeper system. This would allow the driller to stay inside the cab, reducing personnel risk in drilling.
