HIGH-GRADE GOLD STRIKE CONFIRMED AT EVANSTON

Leeuwin uncovers 1.6km mineralised zone at Marda Gold Project, WA

Leeuwin Metals Ltd (ASX:LMI) has announced that a review of historical drilling and initial site sampling at the Evanston Prospect, part of its 100% owned Marda Gold Project in Western Australia, has identified extensive shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation across a 1.6km strike.

Significant unmined drill intercepts from the review include:

3.6m @ 16.4g/t Au from 1m (EDM003)
13m @ 4.38g/t Au from 4m (PRC015)
16m @ 3.02g/t Au from 4m (ERC147)
5.3m @ 7.5g/t Au from 9.7m (EDM005)
4m @ 6.26g/t Au from 14m (PRC197)

Field inspections and rock chip sampling from the pit walls at Evanston returned multiple high-grade results, including 28.6g/t, 8.88g/t, 5.56g/t, and 15.9g/t Au.

Evanston contains four historical open pits mined between 1998 and 2000, but has seen limited modern exploration. With mineralisation open in all directions, it has now been prioritised for further drilling in Leeuwin’s 2025 exploration program.

Leeuwin Executive Chairman, Christopher Pigott, said:

These results are in line with our strategy to progress several prospects across the Marda gold project.
They show there is clearly extensive shallow mineralisation which remains open along strike and at depth. The historical drilling confirms broad zones of high-grade gold in areas that were never mined.

With assays from Marda Central due this month and planning underway for follow-up drilling, and drill planning also progressing at Evanston, we’re set for strong newsflow over the coming months.
