Assays have been received from rock chips collected in December 2024 at the St Patrick’s Well Prospect.

    • 10 rock chips were collected at St Patrick’s Well, with all samples of vein quartz assaying greater than 0.9g/t Au, including:
    • 30.4g/t Au (ARK000063),
    • 20.4g/t Au (ARK000061),
    • 4.1g/t Au (ARK000059),
    • 2.8g/t Au (ARK000071).
  • The new rock chips support the previous rock chips which included1:
    • 25.1g/t Au (IMCA000013
    • 20.5g/t Au (SP2104088)
    • 14.4g/t Au (FSMWR090)
    • 7.86g/t Au (FSMWR085)
    • 6.21g/t Au (SP2104089)
  • Review of the historic wide spaced RAB/Aircore drilling (WAMEX Report a060944)1 within and to the west of St Patrick’s Well prospect shows gold anomalism extending for 3km, parallel to the mineralised structural trends from Wonder and Celtic mines in the west.
  • Next Steps at St Patrick’s Well:
    • Geological mapping and AC/RC drilling.
    • An artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI) enhanced targeting study is in progress. Results of this study are expected in Q1 2025.
Andrew Ford, GM Exploration

“The exciting results from the Augustus geology team’s first visit to the St Patrick’s Well prospect have not only confirmed the validity of previous data collected by MWGM but also defined several new promising vein trends.

“Defining structures related to gold mineralisation on adjacent tenure within similar granitic rocks that also relate to mineralisation within Augustus tenure significantly improves the prospectivity of this underexplored project.

St Patrick’s Well is just one of several priority targets defined at Music Well that will be followed-up with on-ground exploration and drilling”.
