  • 12.54m @ 14.32g/t gold from 570.91m, including 2.52m @ 67.49g/t (DGRC1430-DT):
    • Intercept located within the Inferred Resource classification extent of the current 0.95Moz MRE – targeting conversion of Inferred to Indicated.
  • 13.75m @ 10.08g/t gold from 667.00m, including 3.00m @ 38.10g/t (DGRC1429-DT):

Please Note: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. Assays for DGDH064 are expected in April 2024, following detailed structural, lithological and geotechnical data collection.

The assays in this release include significant intercepts from exploration and resource extension drilling at the high-grade Never Never Gold Deposit, West Winds Gold Prospect and the Sly Fox Gold Deposit.
