Lachlan Star Limited provided an update on the Killaloe gold project in the Eastern Goldfields, with the commencement of Lachlan Star's maiden drilling program. The Killaloe Project, located in southeast Western Australia approximately 600km east of Perth and 35km northeast of the historic gold mining town of Norseman, comprises two, largely contiguous exploration licences (E63/1018 and E63/1017) and a separate mining licence (M63/177) covering a total combined area of 94km2. There are no other land users and access is generally good although sometimes limited by thick bush and weather events. Lachlan Star's maiden drilling program at the Killaloe Project consists of: Historic Gold-Silver workings in E63/1018 testing a strike length of over 1,500m previously undrilled; Targeting the western ultramafic sequence with anomalous nickel mineralisation within E63/1018; Multiple high-grade gold trends within M63/117 to facilitate mineral resource review. The drilling program will consist of a minimum of 1,200m of RC drilling, with the majority of the drilling expected to be completed on tenement E63/1018. Field reconnaissance identified extensions to the historic gold-silver workings on the eastern margins of the tenement. These working are interpreted to exploit a series of "quartz blows" proximal to the geological contact between sediment and mafic dominated terranes and possibly represent a target for development of high-grade mineralisation proximal to the contact zone. Drilling has commenced at this target and the first RC drill hole to 120m has been completed. The drilling program with also target the multiple ultramafic units on the western margin of the tenement, where previous exploration has confirmed the presence of anomalous nickel mineralisation. Lachlan Star's program will test the extensions to the nickel anomalism and will also target gold mineralisation associated with the ultramafic contacts and mineralised shear zones parallel to the lithological boundaries. Gold mineralisation within tenement M63/117 is interpreted to be controlled by a series of parallel shear zones intruded by quartz veining and associated alteration. Historic gold workings that have exploited the gold mineralised trends and the geological strike approximate an east-west orientation, and historic drilling defined multiple parallel zones that require further testing. Following on from a rock-chip sampling program, the initial drilling program will test the width of the defined gold mineralised zones to confirm geological and structural interpretation on mineralisation controls, which if correct, will be followed-up with deeper drilling to define high-grade gold mineralised shoots similar to the high grade quart reefs within the Norseman region.
