Southern Cross Gold (ASX:SXG) SXG Drills has drilled 124.8 g/t gold mver 3.6 metres in the deepest hole at the Rising Sun prospect at the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Project in Victoria.
The Sunday Creek epizonal-style gold project is located 60 km north of Melbourne within 19,365 hectares of granted exploration tenements.
SDDSC118 is the deepest hole on the project, extending high grade mineralisation 80 m down dip and intersecting multiple high-grade structures including three new vein sets at depth. The hole recorded three additional > 100 g/t AuEq x m intersections and two top 10 results for Sunday Creek.
Ten drill holes at Sunday Creek are currently being processed and analysed, with four holes in progress.
“At Sunday Creek, the trend is your friend, with drill hole after drill hole continuing to demonstrate continuity, extremely high-grades and new discoveries,” Managing Director, Michael Hudson, said.
“This time drill hole SDDSC118 demonstrated continuity across multiple structures, while defining three new vein sets and drilling the deepest, and one of the best, intersections at Sunday Creek with 3.6 m @ 124.8 g/t Au from 1,120.4 m, in a large 80 m down dip extension below previously defined mineralisation.
“Additionally, the hole recorded two top 10 results for Sunday Creek (0.7 m @ 604.0 g/t Au).
“The tenor of mineralisation is becoming higher grade as we go to depth with the tantalising prospect that the best is still yet to come at Sunday Creek.”
