ASX RELEASE 30 August 2016

ASX: MGV Gold Drilling Re-Commences at Break of Day
  • An RC drilling program comprising up to 30 holes for 4,000m has commenced at Break of Day
  • Drilling will focus on extending the high grade gold mineralisation including previous intersections of:
    • 6m @ 12.8g/t Au from 155m down hole in 16MORC004;
    • 4m @ 12.3g/t Au from 189m down hole in 16MORC012;
    • 2m @ 25.2g/t Au from 96m down hole in 16MORC001; and
    • 2m @ 36.8g/t Au from 102m down hole in 16MORC006

Musgrave Minerals Ltd ("Musgrave" or "the Company") (ASX: MGV) is pleased to announce the commencement of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling at the Break of Day gold prospect on the Cue project in the Murchison region of Western Australia (Figure 1).

The RC drilling program will consist of approximately 30 drill holes for 4,000m and take approximately 3 weeks to complete. First assay results are expected from late September.

Two sub-parallel high grade gold veins have been identified at Break of Day with the hanging-wall vein extending over a strike length of 360 metres and only drill tested to a depth of approximately 80 vertical metres to date. The high grade footwall vein has been traced over a strike extent of 80 metres and is open to the north and down dip and has only been shallowly drill tested to date.

The drilling will focus on possible extensions to the existing high grade gold mineralisation in both the footwall and hanging-wall veins at Break of Day.

Musgrave's objective is to increase the high grade gold resource to underpin studies that will demonstrate a viable path to development.

Follow-up RC drilling is planned to test the lateral and dip continuity of the high grade gold mineralisation intersected in both the footwall and hanging-wall veins at Break of Day (Figure 1).

Previous footwall drill hole intersections include:

  • 2m @ 36.8g/t Au from 101m down hole in 16MORC006;

  • 2m @ 22.0g/t Au from 137m down hole in 16MORC001;

  • 6m @ 12.8g/t Au from 96m down hole in 16MORC004; and

  • 4m @ 12.3g/t Au from 189m down hole in 16MORC012

    Previous hanging-wall drill hole intersections include:

  • 3m @ 23.0g/t Au from 85m down hole in 11MORC063;

  • 2m @ 25.2g/t Au from 96m down hole in 16MORC001;

  • 2m @ 12.5g/t Au from 101m down hole in 16MORC022; and

  • 1m @ 33.5g/t Au from 80m down hole in 16MORC0017.

(see ASX announcements 13 April 2016, "High Grade Gold at Break of Day"; 6 June 2016, "More High Grade Gold at Break of Day" and 18 August 2016, "Gold Continues at Break of Day").

The gold mineralisation has the potential to extend over a strike length of more than 360 metres and is open to the north and down dip. The mineralisation at Break of Day is interpreted to be moderately dipping quartz vein hosted gold mineralisation with minor (1-2%) pyrite, within a basaltic stratigraphic sequence. Break of Day is on a granted mining lease.

The aim of the current program is to define the strike continuity of gold mineralisation to delineate a high grade gold resource.

About the Cue Project

The Cue Project ("The Project") is a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Silver Lake Resources Limited ("Silver Lake") (ASX: SLR) where Musgrave can earn up to an 80% interest. The Project consists of the Moyagee Gold and Hollandaire Copper Resources (see ASX announcement "25 November 2015, "Musgrave Secures Advanced Gold and Copper Project") and surrounding tenure in the highly prospective Murchison province of Western Australia. There is significant potential to extend existing mineralisation and also discover new mineralisation within the Project area.
