M3 Mining (ASX: M3M) has identified new bedrock gold anomalies through reconnaissance aircore drilling at the Edjudina Gold Project, located approximately 150km northeast of Kalgoorlie, WA.
M3 Mining is exploring for large orogenic gold deposits in greenstone belts of Archaean age.
"Further to the promising copper results reported recently from M3 Mining’s Victoria Bore copper project, recent reconnaissance aircore drilling has discovered further bedrock gold anomalism at the Edjudina Gold Project,” Executive Director, Simon Eley, said.
“The wide-spaced drilling returned promising results, including 4m @ 0.55 g/t Au, along with several other anomalous intercepts. Notably, we have observed elevated gold at the base of multiple drill holes. The El Capitan anomalous gold trend now covers a strike length of 4.5km. Initial exploration is underway for the recently granted Old Plough Dam Prospect, strategically located close to the Carosue Dam satellite pit Twin Peaks.”
Aircore Drilling Programme
The recently completed programme consisted of 111 holes for 2,077m of aircore drilling over three targets.
Building on the soil sampling conducted in 2024, the current drilling aimed to explore the significant gold-in-soil anomalism along the El Capitan trend, to the southeast of intercept; 1m @ 2,303 g/t Au from 27m from drillhole EDJAC264.
The drilling successfully identified gold anomalism 4km to the southeast of prior drilling bringing the length of the gold-anomalous zone to 4.5km. Key Intersects include:
- 4m at 0.55 g/t Au from 24m (EDJAC280)
- 4m at 0.36 g/t Au from 8m (EDJAC280)
- 4m at 0.34 g/t Au from 4m (EDJAC297).
