Shallow, high-grade gold from Lord Henry & Exploration update

RC drilling at Lord Henry delivers shallow gold intercepts, including

35m @ 2.2 g/t gold from 43m

24m @ 2.3 g/t gold from 31m

Preparations for gravity and IP surveys underway, drilling to recommence in February

and an updated mineral resource estimate on track for delivery next quarter

Highlights

Lord Henry

  • New assay results from RC drilling south of the Lord Henry open pit have been received, with new results returning further high-grade gold:
    1. 24m @ 2.3 g/t gold from 31m, incl. 4m @ 10.9 g/t gold from 32m (SRC525)
    1. 15m @ 1.0 g/t gold from 63m (SCR524)
  • Latest one-metre assay results from previously reported four-metre composites from extensional RC drilling north of the Lord Henry open pit, have confirmed high-grade gold mineralisation including:
    1. 35m @ 2.2 g/t gold from 43m, incl 2m @ 24.5 g/t gold from 73m and 1m @ 14.5 g/t gold from 87m (SRC380)
    1. 15m @ 1.7 g/t gold from 14m, incl. 3m @ 5.2 g/t gold from 14m (SRC374)
    1. 8m @ 2.7 g/t gold from 60m, incl 1m @ 18.6 g/t gold from 65m (SRC381)
  • The high-grade gold mineralisation at Lord Henry is within multiple stacked lodes, that remain open to the north.
    Exploration update
  • Assays still pending for over 50 RC holes, mainly from Lord Henry, Vanguard and Indomitable.
  • Preparations are underway to commence a gravity survey over the Lords Corridor in early January, to assist in targeting the 'damage zone' of the Lords granodiorite along the contact of the ultramafic footwall, at depth.
  • Preparations are also underway to undertake an induced polarisation (IP) survey over an initial 3km of the Vanguard trend, to be incorporated into a three-dimensional (3D) inversion model to assist in targeting (3D-IP)
  • Work on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate is progressing well and is on track for release by the end of the March quarter 2022, subject to further assays pending.
  • The current JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate at the Sandstone Gold Project is 6.2Mt @ 1.7 g/t gold for 331,000oz. These resources are shallow, defined to a depth of less than 200m and remain open.
  • Alto's Sandstone Gold Project (100%) covers +900km2 comprising the majority of the Sandstone Greenstone Belt

ASX: AME

For personal use only

Alto Metals Limited (ASX: AME) (Alto or the Company) is pleased to report further significant gold results from its major drilling program recently completed at the Company's 100% owned, ~900km2 Sandstone Gold Project, in Western Australia.

The Sandstone Gold Project currently hosts a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate of 6.2Mt @ 1.7 g/t gold for 331,000oz. The 2021 drilling campaign focused on growing these resources and targeting further high-grade strike and depth extensions of existing mineralisation.

Further shallow, high-grade intercepts from Lord Henry

Drilling at Lord Henry, is designed to target extensions on a 40m x 40m spacing around previous high-grade intersections south of the pit and 40m x 80m spaced section stepping out to the north. New assay results in this release from Lord Henry relate to 12 RC holes for a total of 2,022m, drilled to an average depth of ~170m.

RC drilling south of the Lord Henry open pit has intersected further significant gold mineralisation, including a shallow, high-grade intercept of 24m @ 2.3 g/t gold from 31m, incl. 4m @ 10.9 g/t gold from 32m in SRC525.

Assay results relate to one-metre fire assay results and include:

  1. 24m @ 2.3 g/t gold from 31m, incl. 4m @ 10.9 g/t gold from 32m; (SRC525) o 15m @ 1.0 g/t gold from 63m (SCR524)

Refer to Figures 1,2 and 4 and Table 2 for all significant assay results.

Latest one-metre resplits of previously reported four-metre composites from RC drilling designed to test extensions of gold mineralisation north of the Lord Henry pit continue to highlight the presence of multiple stacked lodes of high-grade gold, within broader zones of mineralisation, that remain open to the north of the pit.

Significant gold assays from one-metre resplits in this release include:

  1. 35m @ 2.2 g/t gold from 43m, incl 2m @ 24.5 g/t gold from 73m and 1m @ 14.5 g/t gold from 87m (SRC380) o 15m @ 1.7 g/t gold from 14m, incl. 3m @ 5.2 g/t gold from 14m (SRC 374)
    o 8m @ 2.7 g/t gold from 60m, incl 1m @ 18.6 g/t gold from 65m (SRC381)

Refer to Figures 1, 3 and 4 and Table 2 for all significant assay results.

Mineralisation at Lord Henry is hosted within the granodiorite intrusion, close to the ultramafic footwall. The high content of quartz-pyrite observed within the high-grade intersections in the primary zone is a similar style of mineralisation observed at Lord Nelson, the Orion and Juno Lodes and the new Central Zone.

The current mineral resource at Lord Henry is 69,000oz of gold (65,000oz Indicated, 4,000oz Inferred, Refer to Table 2). These latest results highlight the significant likelihood for further resource growth, with several previously announced high- grade results outside the current resource.

Recently released assay results from the current 2021 drill program at Lord Henry, include:

  1. 10m @ 2.1 g/t gold from 13m, incl. 1m @ 14.8 g/t gold from 18m (SRC418)
  1. 21m @ 1.4 g/t gold from 100m, incl. 0.5m @ 27.4 g/t gold from 102m (SDD005) o 6m @ 2.2 g/t gold from 12m, incl. 1m @ 8.1 g/t gold from 16m (SRC417)
    o 13m @ 3.1 g/t gold from 41m incl. 2m @ 15.5 g/t gold from 41m (SRC252) o 25m @ 2.2 g/t gold from 104m incl. 3m @ 12.1 g/t gold from 114m (SRC259) o 4m @ 15.6 g/t gold from surface and 8m @ 13.6 g/t gold from 56m (SRC398)
