Adelong Gold will target significant potential for lengthy gold extensions initially at its exciting Caledonian deposit before initiating drilling for a possible maiden resource at the Sawpit deposit, both part of the Adelong Gold Mine in New South Wales.
Adelong is upbeat, given the recent success of drilling at nearby Gibraltar, confirming broad zones of mineralisation.
Pending approvals the Company will target an additional 2-3 drill holes to test the northern extension to mineralisation identified in the 2022 program at Caledonian, with the north of most drill hole 3DCAL009 intersecting 6metres @ 6.68g/tAu before hitting 4m of old workings which presumably extracted the higher grade component of the deposit.
Meanwhile, the proposed drilling at Sawpit would involve five drill holes designed to confirm earlier work, test the deposits at depth and provide some infill holes to define the mineralisation better.
Managing Director Peter Mitchell said plans are underway to target further drilling that has the potential to expand resources.
“The Caledonian and Sawpit areas offer prime targets to expand the resource base at Adelong,” he said.
“Now that the focus has turned to further expansion of the resources we are looking forward to achieving that goal in the 2023 program.”
