Significant Assay Widths And Grades Outside Never Never Resource Envelope

Further visible gold from deep mineralised intercept well over 100m below the current resource

Gascoyne Resources Limited (“Gascoyne” or “Company”) (ASX: GCY) is pleased to report the latest assay results received from ongoing resource and exploration drilling at the Dalgaranga Gold Project in Western Australia.


Key Points:

  • Analysis of pre-collar RC chips from deeper Diamond Tail drillholes targeting Never Never at depth continues to return anomalous assays from a new shallow “hangingwall” position further west of the Never Never Gold Deposit.
  • DGRC1183 (RC Pre-collar) returned the following assays in a new location;
    • 10.0m @ 12.15g/t gold from 237.0m, including 6.0m @ 19.53g/t (DGRC1183-PC)
    • This result follows on from DGRC1187-PC which returned 4m @ 24.46g/t gold from 160m downhole in the same new prospect area (reported 16 May 2023)
  • Deeper infill. DGRC1185-DT has intercepted;
    • 17.4m @ 12.28g/t gold from 488.16m, including 3.97m @ 18.88g/t, infilling the untested area up-plunge from DGRC1183-DT (previously reported) and well below the current resource envelope.
  • DGDH033 testing the lowest point of Unclassified material (unreported) from the current Never Never MRE has returned good confirmatory widths and grades in this area;
    • 13.0m @ 11.35g/t gold from 403.0m, including 5.94m @ 21.99g/t (DGDH033)
  • DGRC1194-DT testing beyond the edges of the deeper southern portion of the current MRE returned;
    • 10.0m @ 7.50g/t gold from 355.0m, including 3.0m @ 11.93g/t (DGRC1194-DT)
  • DGRC1210 has intercepted mineralisation 80m further south of the current MRE envelope and down dip of the footwall Gilbey’s stratigraphic sequence.
    • 7.0m @ 6.77g/t gold from 318.0m, including 3.0m @ 13.35g/t (DGRC1210)
  • New deep mineralised intercept. DGRC1204-DT intercepted ~24m of strong Never Never- style mineralisation from 445.7m downhole, including visible gold at 453m downhole. Assays pending.
Drilling continues to provide further insights into the potential scale, significance, and growth upside of the rapidly emerging Never Never gold deposit at Dalgaranga, with the latest assays returning significant high-grade mineralisation 110 metres below the current Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) boundary.

Gascoyne Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Lawson, said: “This round of assays is targeting and testing the extremities of the Never Never Gold Deposit system. We are looking to ascertain where the edges of this new system are for the upcoming MRE update.

We have another deep mineralised intercept with visible gold well below the current resource in DGRC1204-DT, with significant infill results within the deeper part of our upcoming resource update in DGRC1185-DT, there continues to be good widths and grades outside the resource to the south in DGRC1210 and at depth in DGDH033 and DGRC1194-DT illustrating that this mineralised system appears to be improving with depth, and to top that another solid high-grade hit, 10m @ 12g/t gold in the pre-collar of DGRC1183-DT. The deepest drill-hole assayed so far at Never Never returned an incredible 29m @ 11.09g/t gold from over 400m downhole and now we get 10m @ 12g/t from 237m in the same hole.!

To add to the growing high-grade Never Never system and the nearby high-grade prospects being discovered, the Company is drilling the deepest hole yet into Never Never targeting 550-600 metres down-plunge to test the depth extension. The Company is also drilling several high-priority high-grade targets in the near vicinity of Never Never and will provide an update as that work progresses. The exploration team is not resting on the Never Never discovery, but looking to take what has been learned and test other high-grade opportunities in and around the Dalgaranga mill as quickly as possible.”

Never Never is a new high-grade gold deposit which strikes and plunges to the west-south-west. The deposit was discovered while following up wide, high-grade drill intercepts from the earlier Gilbey’s North extension discovery immediately north of the Gilbey’s open pit at Dalgaranga. Due to the high-grade and apparent scale of Never Never, this deposit now represents the foundation of the Company’s new operating and growth plan.

Never Never is distinct from the Gilbey’s North discovery due to considerable differences in tenor, thickness of mineralisation, mineralogy, scale, orientation and host structure/rock-type. Despite these differences, due to the close spatial association of the two deposits, the Never Never and Gilbey’s North deposits are collectively known as the “Never Never Gold Deposit”.

Never Never is much higher grade than any of the previously defined ore bodies at Dalgaranga and appears to be far more structural, fold and/or shear-hosted as opposed to the more stratigraphic/shale- associated historically defined Gilbey’s series of gold deposits.

On 23 January 2023 Gascoyne released an updated Never Never Gold Deposit Mineral Resource Estimate of 303,100 ounces @ 4.64g/t gold (comprising 1.0Mt @ 2.45g/t for 86,500oz Au “Open Pit” (>0.5g/t Au) and 0.93Mt @ 7.22g/t for 216,600oz Au “Underground” (>2.0g/t Au)).

Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.

What Was the Highest Price for Gold?

Gold has long been considered a store of wealth, and the price of gold often makes its biggest gains during turbulent times as investors look for cover in this safe-haven asset.

The 21st century has so far been heavily marked by episodes of economic and sociopolitical upheaval. Uncertainty has pushed the precious metal to record highs as market participants seek its perceived security.

And each time the gold price rises, there are calls for even higher record-breaking levels.

The diamond drilling program has continued with two diamond tails completed at the Bronzewing Central Target, located approximately 1.7km to the south of the Eastern Target Zone. A follow-up diamond tail will commence shortly at the Eastern Target, with drilling anticipated to conclude towards the end of September. Results from this program will continue to be submitted to the laboratory in batches, with results anticipated to be received throughout September and into mid-October.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
