Thick Gold Intercepts from Initial Drilling at Wessex Near Anglo Saxon Gold Mine

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX:KAL, ‘KalGold’ or ‘the Company’), is pleased to announce results of its recent aircore drilling at Wessex and Harbour Lights, within the Pinjin project, around 140 km northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.


Highlights:

  • Extensive, thick gold mineralisation and anomalism has been discovered at KalGold’s Wessex target at Pinjin following the first pass aircore drill program (ASX: KAL 5 April 2024, Drilling commences at shallow gold targets, Pinjin Project).
  • New intercepts include:
    • PSAC24001: 28 m at 1.27 g/t Au from 36m
      • including8 m at 1.90 g/t Au from 44 m
        • and8 m at 2.15 g/t Au from 56 m
    • PSAC24029: 12 m at 1.17 g/t Au from 52 m
      • including4 m at 3.07 g/t Au from 56 m
  • These results are exceptional for aircore drilling, illustrating the enormous potential of KalGold’s Pinjin Project at the southern end of the Pinjin Goldfield.
  • The Wessex prospect shows evidence of being part of the broader Anglo Saxon gold mineralised system, with Hawthorn Resources’ (ASX:HAW) open pit mine located less than 1 km from the drill program.
  • Results along the southern extension of KalGold’s Harbour Lights target are more typical of an aircore drilling program. Indicators of gold mineralisation include low level gold and arsenic anomalism, quartz veining, and associated pyrite mineralisation.
  • KalGold will undertake follow-up exploration at Wessex and Harbour Lights. This will comprise additional aircore and RC drilling.

Commenting on the results, KalGold Managing Director Matt Painter said:

“KalGold’s drill program at its Wessex prospect has delivered excellent results. Thick, coherent zones of shallow gold mineralisation were defined across the tenement boundary from historically recorded gold anomalism. The shape, geometry, and style of gold mineralisation at Wessex displays parallels with Hawthorn Resources’ neighbouring Anglo Saxon gold deposit, located less than 1 km to the northeast. Mineralisation at Wessex is open along strike both to the north and south, and down-dip to the east.

This discovery at Wessex requires follow-up aircore and/or RC drilling to define the full extent of the mineralisation footprint. These results, in addition to the shallow gold mineralisation currently being incorporated into an initial JORC Code (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate at Kirgella Gift and Providence, highlight the incredible prospectivity of KalGold’s Pinjin Project.”

Mount Hope Mining Kicks Off Maiden Drilling in NSW’s Prolific Cobar Region

Mount Hope Mining (ASX:MHM) has commenced its maiden drill program at its 100 percent owned Mount Hope project in New South Wales. The company’s managing director and CEO, Fergus Kiley, outlined the company’s exploration strategy, emphasising the geological significance of its targets.

“Looking for those key major continental structures that formed the (Cobar) Basin is really important. We've got three of them that run north-south through the entirety of our tenure," he explained. "And as I said, these structures already host existing, known, previously operating mines within our area. So being on these major structural trends, these north-south faults in our area, is really important. We've actively chosen these areas to explore from a geological context."

The program is focused on the Mount Hope East, Black Hill, Blue Heeler and Mount Solitary targets.

Editor's Picks: Gold Price Breaks US$3,700 for First Time, Major Miners Hone Portfolios

Gold hit yet another new price record this week, rising past US$3,700 per ounce.

The yellow metal broke that level on Wednesday (September 16), the first day of the US Federal Reserve's meeting, and then did it again the next day just after the gathering wrapped up.

The Fed was widely anticipated to cut interest rates, and that's exactly what happened — it announced a 25 basis point reduction to the 4 to 4.25 percent range, with Chair Jerome Powell describing it to reporters as a "risk-management cut."
