Miramar Resources has confirmed high-grade gold mineralisation of up to 18g/t at its Glandore East prospect in the Eastern Goldfield of Western Australia.
Diamond drilling the intersected narrow high-grade gold mineralisation over 0.4m within a broader zone of low-grade gold mineralisation (6m @ 1.39g/t Au) in altered fine-grained rhyolite.
Excitingly GDDD007 is just around 75m north of GDDD004, which also intersected high-grade mineralisation (0.8m @ 12.6g/t Au, including 0.4m @ 23.0g/t Au).
The Company said bedrock gold mineralisation seen at Glandore East underlies a large supergene gold footprint.
The initial drilling programme at Glandore East has confirmed the presence of primary gold mineralisation within multiple northeast-trending structures, with four out of the six effective holes successfully intersecting high-grade bedrock gold mineralisation beneath the supergene gold layer,” Executive Chairman Allan Kelly said.
“Our aim now is to locate where the volume of gold mineralisation might increase, potentially as a result of a change in rock type.”
“In my experience, the competency contrast between the more brittle granodiorite intrusion and the more ductile and chemically reactive mafic units, complicated by the multiple northeast-trending structures, provides an ideal setting for gold mineralisation.
“The last hole is also encouraging, as it appears to contain more extensive alteration and a wider low grade gold halo, so we are potentially moving in the right direction.”
Next Steps
The Company plans to complete a more detailed ground or UAV magnetic survey in the first quarter of 2023, examining underexplored, highly prospective areas beyond GDDD007.
