Warriedar Resources (ASX: WA8) has received assay results which have confirmed a 77m wide mineralisation zone at its Golden Range Project, located in the Murchison region of Western Australia
The results for the latest two holes again demonstrate wide infill of the broader Ricciardo deposit at depth, further validating the outstanding Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) growth potential that exists at Ricciardo and along the broader ‘Golden Corridor’ trend.
“The outcomes of these two diamond tails are significant, given that they represented substantial depth step-outs under the shallow Ardmore pit,” Managing Director and CEO, Amanda Buckingham, said.
“A 77m wide mineralised zone (downhole) with a central high-grade shoot (4.51 g/t), 180m below the MRE is a great result. We don’t fully understand the structural geometry here yet, but we are delighted that the deeper part of hole 49 validates the drill results from a previous explorer – confirming the deposit extends to about 460m vertical depth and retains some good grade (3.19 g/t).
“We continue to drill ahead at Ricciardo as part of the current diamond programme, with follow-up growth drilling activities in planning for the remainder of H2 2024.”
Ricciardo deposit
The Ricciardo gold system spans a strike length of approximately 2.3km, with very limited drilling having been undertaken below 100m depth. Ricciardo possesses a current MRE of 8.7 Mt @ 1.7 g/t Au for 476 koz gold. The oxide material at Ricciardo has been mined by previous operators.
