Redcastle Resources Limited announced that its 1200m RC drilling will commence on the company's Redcastle Project later the month of February 2022. Historic drilling has included the followin results at Redcastle: · 7m @ 11.49g/t Au from 16m, including 2m @ 34.5 g/t Au from 16m; 4m @ 6.07g/t Au from 30m, including 1m @ 15.50g/t Au from 30m; and 8m @ 2.30g/t Au from 18m. Following a review of the available geological data relating to the central area which contains the bulk of the historic workings, a circa 1200m RC drilling program was planned by the company's consultants. The aim is to: Validate and confirm several generations of historical drilling results, cnfirm the geology, orientation and continuity of the known gold mineralisation, Obtain further details regarding the extent of the historic underground workings in the area and cllect preliminary geotechnical data. The digital database currently includes collar and assay data. The raw collar elevation data has been modified slightly via the completion of a digital terrain model (DTM). This DTM was constructed from the very detailed low level aeromagnetic survey completed by a previous explorer in about 2007-8. Other geological data (oxidation, rock type, quartz veining, etc) from the limited amount of previous drilling is being entered into the database. This area has seen previous shallow RC and RAB drilling. Maximum depths in this area are approximately 50m vertical. The Table below lists all significant (+1g/t Au) results from this historical drilling. There are only preliminary surveys available from the shallow underground workings. These are also being digitised from the existing mapping. One of the aims of the drilling program is to confirm some of these details.
In relation to the upcoming drill program, a drill spacing of ten metres was selected on sections 40m apart. The holes range from 25m to 120m, an expected typical open pit depth. 18 holes for 1,275m are proposed. All proposed holes will be drilled at 60 degrees towards north. The proposed holes are also shown below. Historic soil sampling has also now been digitized. This sampling only covers a small part of the project area. Following review of this historic work, an auger soil sampling program has been designed to fully test the entire project area, not just the main area mined in the past. The holes will be on a 200m by 50m pattern, with holes drilled to locate the calcaerous soil horizon, frequently 0.5-2m depth. Sampling of this medium throughout the Goldfields region was pioneered by the CSIRO during the 1990s and has proven to be a very effective sampling method. This program is expected to commence during first quarter of 2022. Historic geological mapping and detailed magnetics interpretation is also being digitized,
with this work to be completed shortly.
