Sams Creek and Reefton Exploration Update

Siren Gold Limited (ASX: SNG) (Siren or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on its Sams Creek and Reefton Projects.


Highlights

Sams Creek Gold Project

  • Results received for the last two of four “scouting” holes drilled at the Anvil Zone.
    • SCDDH107 intersected 22m @ 1g/t Au with higher grade intervals of 2m @ 2.91g/t from 141m and 1.2m @ 8.3g/t from 161m on the hanging wall and footwall respectively.
    • SCDDH106 intersected a 35.4m thick dyke which was extensively altered. A 4m section in the centre of the dyke returned 4m @ 1.32g/t Au from 124m.
  • An Ionic Leach (IL) soil survey identified a number of targets both around and inside two large circular structures.
  • The circular structure anomalies have been divided into five dyke and six porphyry targets.
  • The dyke targets have an Au-As signature, and the porphyry targets have an Au-Cu-REE signature.
  • The IL survey has now been extended beyond the boundaries of the circular structures so potential mineralisation can be fully evaluated. Results are expected in August.

Reefton Gold Antimony Project

  • Four additional diamond holes were drilled in the Auld Creek’s Bonanza East Shoot following the exceptional intersection in ACDDH011, which intersected an estimated true thickness of 3m @ 4.1g/t Au and 7% Sb.
  • ACDDH015 and ACDDH016 were drilled 50m to the north and intersected true widths of 6m @ 5.3g/t Au, 14.9% Sb and 10m @ 7.2g/t Au, 0.3% Sb.
  • ACDDH020 and ACDDH021 were drilled a further 100m to the north and intersected the footwall of the shoot, indicating that the Bonanza East Shoot plunges to the south parallel to the Fraternal Shoot.
  • The Bonanza East maiden MRE and an update on the Fraternal MRE will be completed in August.

Siren Managing Director and CEO, Victor Rajasooriar commented:

“The drilling results from the recent scouting holes targeting the Anvil prospect have confirmed similar alternation to the Main Zone, which hosts the 824koz @ 2.8g/t Au Resource. Additionally, the knowledge base of the geology at Sams Creek is growing with the expanded Ionic Leach survey cross referenced with the Lidar topography analysis, with results expected in August. This should give us additional information to more accurately target the potential Gold-Copper porphyry targets and commence a diamond drilling program later this year at Sams Creek.

In addition, the drilling results from Auld Creek have returned some strong results and we look forward to updating the Resource in August.”

North Stawell Minerals

High-grade Gold Intercept Confirmed at Darlington

North Stawell Minerals (ASX:NSM) is pleased to announce an update on the results of its recent diamond drill program. The North Stawell Project includes a 504 km2 contiguous package of ground that incorporates the gold-prospective corridor immediately north of Stawell Gold Mines’ operation at Stawell. A thin blanket of unmineralised sediments preserves potential for large, near-surface repeats of the multimillion-ounce ore deposit at Stawell. The current focus is on two priority targets, Wildwood and Darlington, which both have potential to be repeats of the multi-million-ounce mineralisation at Stawell.

Gold Price Hits New Record, Touching US$3,500 for First Time

The gold price reached yet another record high on Tuesday (April 22), hitting US$3,500 per ounce.

In trading on Monday (April 21), the precious metal surged past the US$3,400 mark; it then briefly touched US$3,500 early on Tuesday morning before settling in the US$3,425 to US$3,450 range.

Gold has been on the rise all year, with the latest boost coming after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at the Economic Club of Chicago on April 16. In his remarks, he said he expects US President Donald Trump's tariff policy to negatively impact American economic growth and further fuel inflation in the country.

Gold's momentum was boosted in the following days as Trump made his own statements suggesting he is seeking ways to remove Powell as the head of the US central bank. However, the Fed operates at arm's length, and it would require an act of Congress to remove Powell from his post. Powell's term is set to expire in May 2026.

Black Cat Pours First Gold at Lakewood Processing Facility

Black Cat Syndicate (ASX:BC8,OTC Pink:BLCAF) has successfully poured first gold at its recently purchased Lakewood processing facility, marking a key milestone for the company.

The pour took place on April 16, with 757 ounces of gold produced at the site.

The Lakewood facility, acquired by Black Cat on March 31, is located 6 kilometres southeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and within 40 kilometres of Black Cat’s fully owned Kal East gold operation.

Processing began on April 1, immediately after Black Cat took possession of Lakewood. Since then, the company has hauled 60,000 tonnes of ore from Kal East's Myhree open pit to the processing facility.

“The commencement of processing through Lakewood has started well with throughputs, grade and recoveries all above expectation,” said Black Cat Managing Director Gareth Solly.
