DiscovEx Resources Limited announced that all composite assay results have been returned from a total of 188 AC holes completed at the Spartan Prospect, part of an 80:20 joint venture with Gateway Mining Limited The first pass reconnaissance drilling was completed in two phases, consisting of 37 holes within phase one and 151 holes in phase two. Both phases were designed to test down to the fresh bedrock interface beneath and along strike of a 1.3km long +50ppb gold in soil anomaly. Single metre re-splits have also been received from anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) composite samples taken as part of phase one drilling.

Results have confirmed bedrock gold mineralisation has been intersected with significant results of 4m at1.24g/t Au from 82m, including 1m at 3.42g/t Au from 82m (SPAC016), 1m at 1.35g/t Au from 62m (SPAC128) and 1m at 1.06g/t Au from 74m (SPAC026). The elevated bedrock results have highlighted three high priority target areas including two coherent structural zones of anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) bedrock gold defined over strike lengths of approximately 650m. Together with the bedrock mineralisation, significant gold has also been intersected within transported overburden with best results of 8m at 1.64g/t Au from 29m including 4m at 2.82g/t Au from 32m (SPAC017).

The relationship between the significant accumulation of gold in transported cover and the bedrock gold at Spartan has not yet been resolved, however the identification of gold within sheared, altered bedrock is encouraging and provides targets for further follow up. Confirmation of the extensive and significant accumulation of near surface gold at Spartan and the bedrock mineralisation beneath it highlights the broader prospectivity of the project area. Aircore Drilling: A total of 188 aircore holes (both phase 1 and phase 2) were completed at the Spartan Prospect, for a total of 12,906m with drilling aimed at testing beneath and adjacent to the footprint of a high priority surface gold anomaly.

Drilling was completed on 200m spaced lines, traversing the original soil anomaly on 100m and 50m centres to ensure sufficient coverage was achieved. Additional holes were also completed between the Spartan anomaly and the Falcon and Hercules anomalies to test a paleo-topographic high modelled from drill information. Significant bedrock and transported intersections (>0.1g/t Au).

Weathered bedrock mineralisation:1m at 3.42g/t Au from 82m within 4m at1.24g/t Au from 82m (SPAC016); 1m at 1.35g/t Au from 62m - EOH (SPAC128), 1m at 1.06g/t Au from 74m (SPAC026), 1m at 0.63g/t Au from 83m - EOH within 4m at 0.42g/t Au from 80m (SPAC150), 2m at 0.24g/t Au from 60m - EOH (SPAC042), 9m at 0.18g/t Au from 60m - EOH (SPAC130), 4m at 0.11g/t Au from 72m (SPAC096). Transported mineralisation:1m at 4.82g/t Au from 35m within 8m at 1.64g/t Au from 29m (SPAC017), 1m at 2.00g/t Au from 32m within 6m at 1.24g/t Au from 29m (SPAC029), 4m at 0.94g/t Au from 32m within 8m at 0.58g/t Au from 28m (SPAC135), 4m at 0.75g/t Au from 28m (SPAC136), 4m at 0.24g/t Au from 24m (SPAC057), 4m at 0.18g/t Au from 36m (SPAC077), 4m at 0.20g/t Au from 28m (SPAC094). 4m at 0.12g/t Au from 40m (SPAC134).

TARGETS: Spartan West and East: These two target areas are located beneath the original Spartan soil anomaly, and both have been defined over strike lengths of approximately 650m. The western trend (oriented north-west) is centred on an amphibolite unit with significant intersections returned including 1m at 1.35g/t Au (SPAC128) and 9m at 0.18g/t Au (SPAC130). Both intersections were anomalous to the end of hole, sheared and are spatially associated with an interpreted fold closure of the amphibolite.

This unit also has an elevated copper association up to 0.13% Cu. The geological and structural complexity of the target area is encouraging and given the mineralisation is present close to the fresh rock interface, suggests this has a higher potential of being proximal to a primary source rather than being supergene related.
