Lake Roe Gold Project: More High-Grade Gold From The Northern Flats Lodes

Breaker Resources NL (ASX:BRB, Breaker, or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has now received the results from the last five holes (or wedges) drilled at as part of its resource development program which completed in late December 2022 at Bombora, targeting various lodes beneath the prospective Bombora open pit at its Lake Roe Gold Project.


Again, the results validate the predictability, interpretation and grade continuity of the lode structures applied during resource estimation. The drilling successfully intersected various lodes beneath the future open pit which are the subject of underground mining studies. The results will enable a future upgrade from inferred to indicated categorisation but more importantly validate the integrity of the inferred estimates completed so far on 80m spaced drill lines.

Best results include:

0.8m @ 28.8 g/t gold from 388.62m in BBDD0162 (est. true width = 0.55m)
8.95m @ 2.44 g/t gold from 415.05m in BBDD0162 (est. true width = 6.26m)
6m @ 5.51 g/t gold from 596m in BBDD0162 (est. true width = 4.20m)
2.65m @ 4.27 g/t gold from 484m in BBDD0162 (est. true width = 1.86m)
0.45m @ 30.6 g/t gold from 292.45m in BBDD0164 (est. true width = 0.32m)
3.00m @ 6.50 g/t gold from 472m in BBDD0164 (est. true width = 2.70m)
1.2m @ 8.93 g/t gold from 478m in BBDD0164W1 (est. true width = 1.08m)
5.68m @ 5.81 g/t gold from 115.32m in BBDD0166 (est. true width = 5.10m)

Breaker’s CEO, Sam Smith said

“It’s great we can drill holes into our resource model and hit the ore where it was interpreted to be with ore intercepts sometimes better than the global resource estimate. Our underground mining plans are continuously being supported by high grade drill results at Tura and the Northern Flats. Our scoping study for underground mining of the Tura lodes beneath the planned Bombora pit showed strongly positive outcomes from what is just the immediate extensions of the primary structures. Same for the Northern Flats where our scoping studies are nearing completion. The latest round of assays boost our expectations for economic studies and demonstrate that Lake Roe could have a longer mine life from underground mining on completion of the open pits”.

Drill holes BBDD0162, BBDD0164 and BBDD0164W1 targeted the Northern Flats Lodes, which are a series of stacked, shallow north plunging flat lodes with numerous high grade gold shoots located below and north of the future open pit. Each hole was expected to intersect the flat lodes and assays confirmed continuity of mineralisation at economical grades along the structures.

The Northern Flats Lodes, plunging north from the proposed Bombora open pit manifest as stacked flatly dipping narrow, but high-grade lode structures typically 1-3m in thickness. The intersection of these with the NW trending and steeply east-dipping lodes, and the NW trending and west dipping lodes creates elongated corridors where much thicker and higher-grade shoots tend to form.

Drill holes BBDD0161, BBDD0163 and BBDD0166 were targeting the Tura structure, aimed at defining the extent of the internal high grade shoot. Each hole intersected the Tura structure outside of the internal high grade shoot, refining the mineralisation model for mining studies.

China-Linked Gold Syndicates Driving Toxic Mining Boom in Indonesia: Report

Remote hillsides in Indonesia are being stripped bare and villages are grappling with poisoned soil, all due to a growing illicit gold trade that investigators say is being driven in large part by Chinese syndicates.

A Washington Post exposé based on satellite imagery, trade data, public records and interviews across three continents, found that these operations, which are being bankrolled by private Chinese investors, are far beyond the reach of local authorities, often running without interference from local police.

In Indonesia’s Lantung region, gold trader Heru Hairuddin expressed concern, telling the news outlet, “We don’t know where they take it. We only know it doesn’t stay here.”

Element79 Gold CEO Highlights Strategic Pivot Toward Nevada Projects

Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM,OTCQB:ELMGF,FWB:7YS) is providing more details on recent developments at its Lucero project in Peru, after the company invoked the force majeure clause under its agreement with Condor Resources (TSXV:CN).

“When you're working outside of … a de-risked jurisdiction like North America, you can run into these delays. And while we have been working diligently with the community for over two and a half years since acquiring this project at Lucero, there's ebbs and flows, both on a federal level as well as at local level, inside the community,” said James C. Tworek, the company’s CEO and director.

Invoking the force majeure clause allowed Element79 to pause payment obligations with regards to the Lucero project for a maximum of two years.
