Further High-Grade Gold Intercept from Diamond Drilling at Crown Prince Prospect

Ora Gold Limited (“Ora” or the “Company”, ASX: OAU) is pleased to announce another high-grade gold intercept from diamond core at Crown Prince (M51/886).


Highlights:

  • Further high-grade gold results returned from OGGDD537 which was drilled at the South-Eastern Ore Body (SEB) of Crown Prince Gold Prospect
  • The intercept includes:
    • 6.4m @ 26.39 g/t Au from 127.4m incl. 2.8m @ 58.53g/t Au from 131.7m
  • This intercept was returned from the hinge zone of the newly delineated SEB anticline, below a zone of exceptional gold grades seen in recent RC Holes (ASX announcement, 28 June 2023)
  • The intersection supports the Company’s interpretation for SEB mineralisation where high-grade gold mineralization remains open at depth with the best grades and thicknesses occurring in the hinge zone of a SSW plunging anticline
  • This intercept is located 53m along strike to the north-east from the high-grade intersection reported in OGGDD536 (ASX Announcement 4 July 2023)
  • The lode consists of quartz-carbonate-chlorite-sericite with sporadic veinlets of pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and traces of galena
  • Additional RC drilling between 50m and 200m vertical depth and diamond drilling to 300m vertical depth will be undertaken shortly at SEB. This will further underpin a resource estimate for the new zone of mineralisation (i.e. SEB) at Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince south-east extension (SEB) zone continues to develop as a key growth area for gold resources at the prospect.

The Crown Prince Prospect is a high-grade gold deposit within Ora Gold’s Garden Gully Project. Crown Prince is located 22km north-west of Meekatharra in Western Australia via the Great Northern Highway and the Mt Clere Road (Figure 1).

Ora Gold’s CEO Alex Passmore commented: “We are very pleased to report more high-grade results from our diamond drill program at Crown Prince. Results from OGGDD537 were eagerly awaited given the strong alteration seen in drill core as described in recent announcements. This result confirms down dip continuity of mineralisation in this area, supports our interpretation of the SEB structure, and is a substantial strike extension from the high-grade intercept in OGGDD536 that we announced recently”.

Assay results from the second diamond hole drilled at SEB have returned additional high grade gold results (Table 1, Appendix 1, Figures 2-3 & Photo 1). Samples from the remaining holes have been delivered to Intertek in Perth and assays are pending.

The results in this release indicate the presence of a down dip extension of high-grade gold mineralisation at SEB and support the structural interpretation for mineralised shoots at Crown Prince (Figure 2). Mineralised envelopes are contorted and folded between northerly trending shears. MOB mineralization occurs in a steep south-east plunging anticline. SEB mineralization is hosted within a steep south westerly plunging anticline. The two zones are separated by a northerly trending shear zone (Figure 2).

All hole details and sampling information are included in Table 1. Assay results received to date with more than 0.1ppm Au are included in Appendix 1.

Next Gold Powerhouse Emerges as Prices Break Records

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

As gold surges to record highs above $3,000+ per ounce in May 2025 — outpacing the S&P 500, NASDAQ and even bitcoin —Wall Street's focus is shifting. With U.S. debt-to-GDP now exceeding 120% and real interest rates still historically negative, gold has reaffirmed its role as the market's most reliable hedge. But for institutional investors, bullion and ETFs aren't enough anymore. What they want now is leverage, scalability and cash flow. That's why the spotlight is turning toward a new class of near-term gold producers: companies with clean balance sheets, high internal rates of return (IRR) and operational models designed to scale and generate recurring revenue — companies like ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) ( Profile ) . With central banks buying more gold than ever and financial markets hungry for sustainable exposure to the yellow metal, the next wave of institutional capital is hunting for precisely the kind of scalable, cash-flow-driven opportunity that ESGold offers. With its focus on offering investors a viable pathway to include gold in their portfolios, ESGold joins an elite group of companies — including BHP Group Limited (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM) — that are committed to being leaders in the mining space.

This Option, if exercised, will continue to build on the Company's regional presence along the Tartan Lake Shear Zone, which is the key structural host for gold mineralization at Tartan. As a result of the recently completed option agreement and the Assignment Agreement, the Company has now expanded its presence along the Tartan Lake Shear Zone from 8 to 29.5 kilometres in length, as it looks to add additional high-grade gold resources into its plans to restart the Tartan Mine.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Adyton Sparkles with 97 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada reported on Friday (May 30) that real gross domestic product (GDP) gained 0.5 percent during the first quarter of 2025. Even on a per capita basis, real GDP posted a strong 0.4 percent increase.

The agency primarily attributed the rise to a 1.6 percent increase in exports during the quarter. The higher export amounts were led by a 16.7 percent growth in passenger vehicle exports and a 12 percent rise in industrial machinery, equipment and parts exports, both of which were driven higher in response to imposed and threatened tariffs from the United States.
