Progress Report for Buccaneer Diamond Drilling

Prodigy Gold NL (ASX: PRX) ('Prodigy Gold' or the 'Company')'Company') is pleased to announce progress results from diamond drilling on its projects in the Northern Territory.


KEY POINTS

  • Buccaneer Resource is 10Mt @ 1.8g/t Au for 585koz above a 1g/t cut off
  • Scoping study geotechnical and metallurgical diamond drilling completed to further evaluate a potential low-cost, heap leach processing scenario for the Buccaneer Resource
  • Program of 8 holes for 1,419m of diamond drilling completed
  • Results returned for the first hole include:
    • 7m @ 1.3g/t Au from 36.5m
    • 4m @ 3.4g/t Au from 48m
    • 13.35m @ 3.9g/t Au from 79.7m including 3.3m @ 13.5g/t Au from 79.7m
    • 12m @ 0.9g/t Au from 97.05m
    • 43m of a 120m hole mineralised
  • Aircore drilling recently demonstrated potential for resource extension with mineralisation intersected 150m to the south of the resource.
  • Unsampled historic diamond core containing visible gold at Golden Hind has been sampled and submitted for assay
  • Delays in the laboratory screen fire assays are resulting in delays in reporting of Tregony, Golden Hind, and Buccaneerresults.
  • Results are reported for Reward and PHD diamond drilling

Studies undertaken over the last year have evaluated a heap leach processing scenario for the Buccaneer Deposit. When the type of mineralisation is appropriate, heap leaching is a simple, low- cost process that can result in significant savings in capital expenditure and operating cost, which can significantly improve a project's economics. Deep weathering in the Tanami results in softer weathered rocks, and sulphide is often completely oxidised up to 100m below surface.

Omar Ayales: Gold, Silver, Juniors Have Explosive Upside — Not Being in Trade is Top Risk

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Omar Ayales of Gold Charts R Us discussed the outlook for gold from a technical perspective, saying that he sees the metal's price potentially peaking in 2026.

Gold's past performance indicates that it could reach US$4,000 per ounce during this cycle. He sees US$2,600 as a bullish support level for gold, with deeper support existing in the US$2,200 to US$2,300 range.

However, Ayales said there's no guarantee that the yellow metal will fall that low at this point.

The expert group began the discussion by debating the potential economic impact Donald Trump could have, highlighting contradictions in his policies.

Johnson, who is CEO of Santiago Capital, pointed out that Trump's anti-inflation stance conflicts with his push for a weak US dollar and tariffs, which Johnson likened to global rate hikes.

Gold Price 2024 Year-End Review

Gold saw incredible price gains in 2024, rising from US$2,000 per ounce to close to US$2,800.

Various factors have lent support, including 75 basis points worth of interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve, geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and uncertainty in global financial markets.
