The drilling at
Highlights
Six diamond drillholes totaling 1,341m were completed at
The two drillholes completed in 2023 after the drillers break returned best intersections of: 4.59g/t Au over 2.96m from 148.68m, including 7.19g/t Au over 1.68m; 4.79g/t Au over 0.99m from 181.31m.
The mineralization intersected in TDD0178 and TDD0177 extended the strike of the mineralized structures an additional from 300m to 600m.
A quartz porphyry is associated with the mineralization, and this will assist in further delineation of targets for future exploration in this area using our existing geophysical data.
The gold is hosted in sheared basalt rocks with quartz carbonate veins and sulphides such as pyrrhotite and pyrite with minor chalcopyrite.
There seems to be a strong association of a quartz porphyry intrusion and mineralization.
Northeast trending structures are important secondary controls on mineralization, enhancing both grade and width and associated with very wide intersections and in places high grades.
The current drill program has confirmed and extended the known structures, providing confidence that further drilling to the southeast is warranted.

QA/QC
A stringent QA/QC practice is applied to all sample batches. A Verified Reference Material standard is inserted every 20th sample, a known blank or blank standard every 20th sample and all samples with assays greater than 0.5g/t are re-assayed. 1% of all samples are submitted to an alternative laboratory for check analysis. In addition the laboratory adheres to an internal QA/QC procedure including standard samples and repeats and blanks inserted independently.
Widths represent drill intersection widths not corrected for borehole inclination and dip of the geological zone. True widths have not been determined. The borehole inclination of 60deg and sub vertical dip of the structures suggests that the true width will be approximately 86% of the intersected width.
Boreholes have not been drilled in numerical sequence and not all boreholes in a sequence have necessarily been drilled. Borehole numbers represent the original borehole identification assigned when planned.
No capping of high-grade values has been applied to the assay results.
