Goldman 1-metre sample assays highlight shallow high-grade gold potential
Dundas Minerals Limited (ASX:DUN) has released highly encouraging assay results from its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Rockland Mining Lease (M 24/974), part of the broader Windanya Gold Project in Western Australia. The latest results reveal multiple high-grade gold intercepts from 1-metre sampling intervals, defining a significant 1km mineralised trend.
Key Drill Highlights:
- 6m @ 3.3g/t gold from 78m, including 1m @ 7.5g/t from 78m and 1m @ 7.1g/t from 83m (24KRRC005)
- 5m @ 2.3g/t gold from 109m, including 1m @ 8.1g/t from 113m (24KRRC013)
- 1m @ 14.9g/t gold from 80m (24KRRC015)
- 2m @ 5.6g/t gold from 74m, including 1m @ 9.4g/t from 74m (24KRRC015)
- 2m @ 2.8g/t gold from 130m, including 1m @ 5.2g/t from 130m (24KRRC022)
The mineralisation consists of an oxide supergene zone within deeply weathered mafic host rocks, above stacked structures dipping shallowly to moderately in the transitional and fresh rock zones. Importantly, the mineralisation trend aligns with the regional geological structures.
Detailed three-dimensional modelling is currently underway to refine the orientation of mineralisation in fresh rock and plan follow-up drilling campaigns. The results will also aid in further exploration of the highly prospective Windanya North area.
Commenting on the results, Managing Director Shane Volk said:
As indicated by the assay results from the initial 4-metre composite samples, results from these 1-metre samples confirm the presence of widespread gold mineralisation within the granted Rockland Mining Lease. In many instances, the mineralisation is at relatively shallow depth (100 metres or less), with some very nice high-grade results returned in several holes – up to 14.9 grams per tonne.
Three-dimensional modelling of these latest results is in progress. The latest drilling results, combined with available historical drill data within the lease, will enable us to make an updated interpretation of the mineralisation trend and develop an exploration model to assist with the planning of further exploration both within the highly prospective M 24/974 and the broader Windanya Gold Project area.
