Siren Global Resource Increases To 1.2 Moz

Siren Gold Limited (ASX: SNG) (Siren or the Company) is pleased to announce a JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Supreme Gold Project in Reefton, New Zealand.


Highlights

  • Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Siren’s Supreme prospect of 103koz at 2.7g/t Au at a 1.5g/t cut-off.
  • Supreme lies within the recently acquired Cumberland tenement along the main structural corridor that hosts all the larger mines in the Reefton Goldfield, and links through Globe Progress to Siren’s very promising Auld Creek Au-Sb prospect.
  • Mineralisation is a similar style to the historical Globe-Progress mine that produced 1.1Moz @ 6g/t Au.
  • The MRE based on historical data down to only 200m depth with significant intersections including:
    • 14.0m @ 3.5g/t Au;
    • 14.0m @ 3.2g/t Au;
    • 29.0m @ 2.6g/t Au;
    • 10.0m at 3.5g/t Au, and
    • 9.5m @ 4.1g/t Au.
  • The Supreme deposit remains open at depth, with significant potential for increased gold resources from additional exploration drilling.
  • Siren’s Global Mineral Resource now stands at 1.2Moz at 3.1g/t Au (100% basis).

Background

The Cumberland permit comprises the northern and southern areas of the previous Globe Progress mining permit, as shown in Figure 1. The Cumberland permit joins Siren’s Big River, Golden Point and Reefton South permits and abuts the Federation Mining permit, where they are currently developing the Snowy River underground mine to extract around 700koz of gold below the historic Blackwater mine.

Gold bearing reefs in the Cumberland project area were first discovered at Supreme in 1872 and mining proceeded from then until 1923 when Sir Francis Drake mine closed. Relative to the rest of the Reefton Goldfield, the historical Cumberland mines were undercapitalised, with a total production of 44,626 oz of gold from 97,993 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 14.2 g/t Au.

The mineralisation in the Cumberland permit extends for 3kms south of the Globe Progress mine and is open to the west (under cover) and south (Figure 2). This area lies along the main structural corridor that hosts all the larger mines in the Reefton Goldfield and links to Siren’s very promising Auld Creek Au-Sb prospect. The gold and antimony mineralisation extends for 10kms from Auld Creek south into the Globe Progress Mine, including the Globe Deeps area below the open pit, through Souvenir, Supreme and Big River. A total of 77 drillholes for a total of 10,933m have been completed.

Supreme’s gold mineralisation is a similar style to the Globe-Progress deposit, with high-grade quartz breccia, pug and disseminated sulphides. The Supreme prospect contains three sub-parallel mineralised shoots that have been traced down dip for approximately 200m and are open at depth (Figure 3). The shoots plunge moderately to the SE, with an average thickness of approximately 12m. Significant intersections include 10m @ 3.5g/t Au and 14m @ 3.5g/t Au (RDD013), 14m @ 3.2g/t Au (RDD017), 29m @ 2.6g/t Au (RDD018), 9.5m @ 2.3g/t Au (RDD021) and 9.5m @ 4.1g/t Au (RDD025).

The Gallant prospect contains a shear hosted, 1m-5m thick quartz vein, that extends for over 300m and dips steeply east and west. Diamond hole GLA001 was drilled to the west and appears to have drilled obliquely down a steeply west dipping reef. The hole intersected a 27m mineralised zone dominated by a quartz reef with visible gold and disseminated arsenopyrite mineralisation in the hangingwall. The true thickness of the mineralised zone is unclear but estimated to be around 5m. The average down- hole grade of the mineralised zone was 27m @ 74.9g/t Au, which includes 1m @ 1,911g/t Au. Detailed soil sampling and trenching will be utilised in Quarter 2 to try and expose the Galant Reef to determine its orientation and true thickness.

Navigating Uncertainty: How Trump's Tariffs Are Affecting the Gold Market

The gold price has been on the rise in 2025 as a slew of factors work in its favor.

Central bank buying has long been a key point of support, as has escalating conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere. A newer addition is tariff tensions as the Trump administration fleshes out trade policies.

The gold price has benefited from safe-haven demand amid the turmoil, but concerns that the yellow metal itself might face tariffs have also impacted the sector as industry insiders react to uncertainty.

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.

Vertex Minerals Exec Touts High-grade Gold at Reward Mine

Vertex Minerals (ASX:VTX) is banking on its high-grade gold resource at the Reward mine to take the company to profitability, generate cashflow and fund drill programs as it begins production at the underground mine.

Executive Chairman Roger Jackson spoke with the Investing News Network about the company’s strategic position as it starts gold production. Vertex has begun developing the first two stope blocks at its Reward mine, which Jackson described as the highest-grade gold mine in Australia.

“I'd be surprised if we're not the highest-grade gold mine in Australia, given we're at around 17 grams,” Jackson said.

Auric Mining to Expand Portfolio with Strategic Mill Acquisition

Auric Mining (ASX:AWJ) is accelerating its push to become a fully integrated gold producer.

On Monday (August 25), the company locked in a AU$4.4 million purchase of the Burbanks mill, located 15 kilometres south of Coolgardie and near its Munda gold project. Idle since 2019, the facility comes equipped with crushing, grinding and carbon-in-leach infrastructure, giving Auric a clear path toward in-house processing.

“A major missing piece for us has always been a mill … We are delighted to now be on a clear path to purchasing this facility, which we expect to be an important piece of our longer-term future,” said Managing Director Mark English.
