41m at 2.01g/t Au from Surface at Murchison South Gold Project

Reach Resources Limited (ASX: RR1 & RR1O) (“Reach” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from the first two (2) of fourteen (14), RC drill holes at the Company’s 100% owned Murchison South gold project, near Payne’s Find, in the gold rich Murchison Mineral Field W.A (see Figure 1). The initial results broadly support the interim mineralisation model developed by Mining Plus, with high-grade mineralisation consistently associated with quartz veins within hornblende gneiss.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • RC drilling from the first two (2) holes at the Murchison South gold project has intersected high grade gold, providing initial validation of historical drilling results
  • Significant assay results include (down hole widths):
    • 25PFRC001 (Hole 1)
      41m @ 2.01 g/t from surface; including 15m @ 2.01 g/t from 2m, and
      5m @ 10.01 g/t from 36m
    • 25PFRC002 (Hole 2)
      22m @ 0.70 g/t from 33m; including 10m @ 1.05 g/t from 33m, and
      1m @1.61 g/t from 45m
  • A total of fourteen holes were drilled for 1463m at an average depth of 104m, at the Blue Heaven deposit
  • Results from the first two drill holes align with the interim mineralisation analysis completed by Mining Plus, with the holes having intercepted the main rock types and showing a well- defined weathering profile
  • Assays from the remaining 12 holes are due next week

Commenting on the results CEO Jeremy Bower said:

“These fantastic initial results give us a great start towards validation of the historic drilling and resource model at our Blue Heaven deposit. We have hit some high-grade shallow gold intervals, which align with the model, which is very encouraging, and we now eagerly await assays from the remaining 12 holes so we can get a complete understanding of our project.”

Figure 1: Murchison South Gold Project showing the Blue Heaven deposit with current and historic drilling.

The drill program comprised 14 RC holes for a total of 1463m at an average depth of 104m and collection of 1588 samples for assay. This announcement relates to the first two (2) drill holes only (Refer to JORC Table 1 Appendix A for full results and collar table from holes 25PFRC001 & 25PFRC002).

Figure 2: Cross Section.

The weathering zone is not intercepted in this cross-section but appears further south from Section 3 (Figure 1). Cross-Section 1 (Figure 2) displays multiple high-grade zones that broadly align with the existing model. Low-grade zones (yellow) envelop the high-grade mineralisation and correlate well with the new drilling.

Once all the drilling results have been received, Mining Plus will have sufficient data to interrogate the results before integrating them into their model. This will guide the next steps in optimizing pit designs at the Blue Heaven deposit and additionally will help determine the number and locations of planned diamond drill holes, which will be the source of sample material for the required metallurgical testing and geotechnical analysis.

Key Next Steps

  • Receipt of remaining assay results
  • Mining plus continue their independent mining review
  • Metallurgical test work
  • Negotiations with mining contractors and processors

Mines and Mills: An Investment Case for the Abitibi Gold Belt

The Abitibi Gold Belt has played a key role in Canada's rich mining heritage and continues to be a powerhouse in global gold production. Stretching from Wawa, Ontario to Val-d'Or, Québec, this geological marvel has been the cornerstone of Canadian gold mining for over a century.

Since its discovery, the Abitibi Gold Belt has yielded more than 190 million ounces of gold since 1901, cementing its status as one of the world's most prolific gold-producing regions. This impressive figure underscores the belt's enduring significance in the global gold market.

The belt's robust geological formations, known as greenstone belts, have supported numerous gold mines throughout its storied history. Events like the Porcupine Gold Rush of 1909 were pivotal in establishing key mining towns such as Timmins, which remain vital to the industry today. The Abitibi Gold Belt's ongoing relevance is underscored by the continuous exploration and production activities that persist, making it a focal point for investors seeking opportunities in the gold sector.

Ghana Expels Foreigners from Local Gold Market in Sweeping Sector Overhaul

As part of a sweeping policy shift aimed at tightening control over its most lucrative natural resource, Ghana has banned all foreigners from trading in its domestic gold market, BBC reported.

The directive, announced by the newly created Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), forms part of the national government’s legislative overhaul to increase state revenues, curb illegal mining and regain regulatory control over the country’s booming artisanal and small-scale gold sector.

GoldBod was created as part of the Ghana Gold Board bill 2025, which was passed by parliament on March 29 and signed into law by President John Mahama on April 2. The act rendered all previously issued licenses invalid, except for licenses granted to large-scale mining companies.

“All foreigners are hereby notified to exit the local gold trading market not later than 30th April, 2025,” said GoldBod spokesperson Prince Kwame Minkah in a statement.
