Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX: ALY) (“Alchemy”) is pleased to announce the completion of 5,507m of RAB drilling within the 100% owned Karonie Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields, WA (Figure 1) . Drilling targeted gold anomalism identified in previous shallow auger drilling over the Claypan Shear Zone at the Manhattan and Dragon targets where coincident prospective folded or converging dolerite units were interpreted from detailed aeromagnetic imagery. Holes were drilled on lines 200m to 1,400m apart at variable hole spacings to achieve an approximate 50% drill coverage.

The RAB drilling at Dragon (128 holes for 3,982m) established that the greenstone belt has a true width of at least 2.2km (beyond previous aeromagnetic based interpretations), and also confirmed two interpreted dolerite units corresponding to linear magnetic highs in the area (Figure 2) . Strong shearing and a notable increase in both quartz veining and disseminated sulphides (pyrite), was identified on the eastern margins of the two main dolerite units at the prospect. A magnetic granodiorite intrusion was intersected on the northernmost line at Dragon explaining the intense magnetic high in that area (Figure 2) .

Drilling at Manhattan (29 holes for 1336m) confirmed a magnetite-rich dolerite close to the western granite/greenstone contact at the prospect with stronger quartz veining and more intense foliation/shearing on its eastern margin (Figure 3) . Minor disseminated pyrite and banded sericite-carbonate alteration was also observed.

RAB drilling across an interpreted dolerite unit coinciding with gravity and magnetic highs at the Warrior Prospect (8 holes for 166m) was unable to reach bedrock, intersecting clay and highly weathered quartz-rich sandstones of the Woodline Formation which continuously collapsed. The area remains untested and other drilling methods are being considered (Figure 3) .

Gold results for the program are expected by early April with multi-element results due about a week later.
