Hole ended in mineralization

  • Following completion of the drill program, work on the resource update, metallurgical test work and technical studies for the Gameta Project is proceeding ahead of schedule.
  • High quality drill targets identified to the south of the existing resource envelope will be followed up in the next phase of drilling.

 

Frank Terranova, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adyton commented, “The discovery of a new high-grade mineralized zone outside the existing Gameta resource envelope is a potential game changer for the project. All six of the holes drilled to test for new mineralization outside the existing resource envelope and below previous RC drilling programs carried out in the 1990’s intersected high-grade mineralization, with two of the holes ending in mineralization. This new high-grade zone remains open along strike and down dip and will be tested as a matter of priority in the next phase of drilling.

 

Adyton’s maiden drilling program at the Gameta Project has exceeded all expectations and has confirmed the potential to significantly increase the current resource. Excited by the exceptional results from the drilling program, we are proceeding with a resource update and technical studies for the project ahead of schedule.

 

I would like to congratulate the exploration team for completing the Gameta drill program ahead of schedule and under budget in challenging conditions. Their efforts epitomise the Adyton philosophy of doing what we say we will do and delivering on our promises to our stakeholders.”

 

Gameta Drill Program Overview:

 

The company’s maiden diamond drilling program at the Gameta Project comprised 38 holes for a total of 3,381m metres.

 

The program was principally focussed on the northern third (“the northern ore zone”) of the known resources with a strike extent of over 700m being tested (note the resource zone itself occurs over a strike interval of 2,000m). Testing in this zone targeted the shallower open pitable material, with drilling generally less than 120m in depth. Some extensional drilling was also part of the program, testing below and down dip from known resources.

 

Previous results reported for the program related primarily to drilling designed to test the continuity of mineralisation within the Detachment Fault Zone (“DFZ”) and below into the gneissic footwall, and to increase confidence in historical assay results within the existing inferred resource envelope ahead of an expected resource upgrade in Q3 2021. As previously reported, the results of this drilling confirmed or exceeded the results of the historic RC drilling as well as extending the mineralisation beyond the existing resource envelope and have increased the confidence in the existing geological model.

 

The drill holes reported in this release are the final drill holes for the program and were targeted along the northeast margin of the historical inferred resource area where thicker zones of vuggy siliceous breccia were observed in drill core, providing a focus for the drilling (refer Section 17 and Section 16 in Figure 1). The drill holes reported in this release include:

 

  1. ADD030, ADD032, ADD033 and ADD035 which to the extent known have been drilled perpendicular to / across the mineralised zone (the Detachment Fault Zone DFZ) and were drilled within the existing inferred resource zone, primarily to increase confidence in grade and continuity from previous RC drilling programs carried out in the 1990’s.
  2. ADD031, ADD034 and ADD036 to ADD038 which to the extent known have been drilled perpendicular to / across the mineralised zone (the Detachment Fault Zone (DFZ)) and were drilled outside the existing inferred resource zone, primarily to test for new mineralization below previous RC drilling programs carried out in the 1990’s.

Holes ADD034, 036, 037 and 038 intersected this strongly mineralized zone with ADD034, 037 and 038 recording significant intersections of Au greater than 3g/t Au. Critically, two holes (ADD036 and 037) finished in mineralization, with hole ADD037 having to be abandoned due to a hot steam pocket being drilled. Importantly this area has not been closed off and the mineralization is open along strike and at depth and this newly discovered area will be a priority in the next drilling program.

 

The other important feature in this area is that the previous historical drilling in this area (Figure 2 and 3) from the 1990’s was shallow and stopped well above the DFZ, the host structure to the mineralization – so the focus of future program will be to drill below the limit of the historical shallower RC holes.

Conclusion and next steps

 

Resource Update

Results have now been returned from all thirty-eight holes (ADD001 to 038) in the current program, with significant high-grade gold intercepts being recorded in many of them. These thirty-eight holes will all be included in the forthcoming updated resource estimate, work on which is just about to commence.

 

The resource update will also incorporate the results from multi element ICP scans that are being carried out on the pulps of all the samples at laboratories in Australia.

 

Technical studies

A test-work program has commenced with 3 x 30kg composite samples being prepared and sent to Core Resources in Brisbane, Australia for preliminary flotation studies and ore characterization.

 

Identification of targets for the next phase of drilling

The current drilling program has demonstrated the occurrence of higher-grade zones within the laterally continuous DFZ structure, and as we get a better handle on the geological controls of these zones, we hope to be able to target future drilling programs towards the discovery of additional higher-grade material. It is a feature of these zones that they are predominantly made up of vuggy pyritic and siliceous breccia.

 

Going forward, further work is planned beyond the south-east margin of the existing resource envelope to target extensions to the main zone of mineralisation.
