New Gold Mineralisation From First Aircore Drilling At Boodanoo, Identified Using Sensore’s Dpt® Technology
November 16, 2022
SensOre (SensOre or the Company) (ASX: S3N) is pleased to announce results from an early stage, first pass targeted air core drilling programme at its wholly owned Boodanoo Project, south-west of Mount Magnet in Western Australia. Assays have identified new gold mineralisation and are the cumulation of systematic exploration of one of the first mineral systems targets identified by SensOre’s Discriminant Predictive Targeting® (DPT) over the past two years. Exploration involved a systematic target test including ground gravity survey and surface sampling, geological mapping and finally an air core drilling program. The conventional program was augmented by data fusion and interrogation by machine learning applied to multielement geochemistry prior to drilling. Newly discovered mineralisation is associated with quartz sulphide (pyrite, pyrrhotite) veining in fresh medium grained amphibolite below a shallow weathering profile.
Highlights
- Air core drilling on SensOre’s wholly owned Boodanoo DPT target identifies new gold mineralisation in an area with no previously known gold occurrences or drilling.
- Results include:
- 22BDAC002 returned 1m @ 1.19g/t gold from 18m
- 22BDAC006 returned 1m @ 1.22g/t gold from 39m
- Further artificial intelligence (AI) led discovery using SensOre’s DPT® technology
- Follow up drilling planned for 2023
The project is located in the Windimurra-Narndee belt at the eastern margin of the Murchison domain of the Youanmi Terrane (Figure 1). The contacts of the Windimurra Complex with the supracrustal sequence are generally sheared and cut by the major north-south striking Challa Shear Zone (Figure 2), a splay of the crustal scale Cundimurra Shear Zone occurring on the western side of the tenement. The first order Challa Shear zone to the west of the new mineralisation is interpreted to be a major splay fault of the Mt Magnet or Tuckabianna Shear Zone, inferred to control the gold mineralisation at the 3.3Moz Meekatharra and Tuckabianna gold deposits.
The drilling program, undertaken by Kennedy Drilling in Q1 2022 comprised 35 air core holes for 1143m (Figure 3). Initial sampling of 4m composites produced encouraging results from two holes (22BDAC002 and 22BDAC006). Additional sampling of 1m splits from these holes was completed in September with plus one gram per tonne results recently received, confirming the target as an area of interest.
CEO Richard Taylor commented; “Whilst the drilling results are at an early stage, the newly identified gold mineralisation is in an area not recognised for gold potential or previously drilled. This discovery is validation of SensOre’s ML / AI predictive approach and is highly encouraging, indicating potential for an economic mineral system. The results demonstrate how a staged, methodical exploration program augmented by SensOre’s ML / AI tools can be used in combination to assess, de-risk and advance exploration projects. Consideration is now being given to follow up drilling being planned for 2023.”
