Fact:
The first recorded discovery of epithermal style gold in the Drummond Basin was at Mt Coolan in 1913. The Scott Lode at Pajingo was discovered in 1984.
High grade epithermal gold targeted at South West Limey Dam as drilling programme gets underway.
Summary
-
A 1,200 metre diamond drilling programme commenced on 25 July at the South West Limey Dam gold prospect in Queensland’s Drummond Basin.
-
The South West Limey Dam prospect is a confirmed epithermal mineral system that extends for over 2 kilometres of strike. It displays geological similarities to the multi-million ounce, high grade Pajingo deposit located 75km to the west.
-
Rock chip samples collected from outcropping quartz veins in the northern part of the prospect have recorded high grades, with results up to 55.4g/t gold.
-
A large arsenic (epithermal gold pathfinder metal) anomaly defines the southern part of the prospect, and potentially sits above a fully preserved gold zone.
-
Drilling will target both the outcropping gold-bearing vein systems in the north, and gold targets below the arsenic anomaly in the south.
-
Up to 15 holes will be drilled during the programme presenting multiple opportunities for exploration success.
-
The drill programme will be partly funded through a grant of up to $100,000 from the Queensland Government made under its Collaborative Drilling Initiative.

Adelaide Resources’ is pleased to announce that diamond drilling is underway at the South West Limey Dam gold prospect on the Company’s 100% owned Drummond project in northern Queensland (Figure 1).
pathfinder metal in epithermal mineral systems and it is often deposited at higher levels than gold, so its presence can point to preserved gold targets at depth.
The prospect is situated in the Drummond Basin, a geological province that hosts epithermal mineral deposits such as the multi-million ounce producing Pajingo field.
The Company’s surface exploration at South West Limey Dam has defined a large prospective area of approximately 2,000 metres by 700 metres (Figure 2).
High grade gold has been recorded in rock chip samples collected from outcropping quartz veins in the northern part of the prospect. Individual rock chip assay results include 55.4g/t gold, 51.5g/t gold, 34.2g/t gold, 31.0g/t gold, 26.9g/t gold, and 21.7g/t gold.
The high grade samples display colloform banding, a texture typically seen in the gold zone of epithermal deposits. Similar colloform banded veins host high grade gold at the Pajingo mine.
The current programme will comprise 1,200 metres of diamond drilling, with holes designed to target both the northern gold-bearing vein systems, and potential gold targets below the arsenic anomaly in the south.
It is anticipated that up to 15 holes will be drilled during the programme, presenting multiple opportunities to achieve exploration success.
The drill programme will be partly funded through a grant of up to $100,000 from the Queensland Government made under its Collaborative Drilling Initiative.
Drilling operations may take up to two months to complete, with results from early holes possibly available in around five weeks.
A large and high magnitude arsenic soil geochemical anomaly defines the southern part of the prospect. Arsenic is a common
The Drummond programme is the fourth drilling programme undertaken by the Company in calendar 2015.
