Bulletin Resources Limited ASX Announcement
Bulletin Resources Limited (ASX: BNR) (“Bulletin”) is pleased to announce initial results from the current 11,500 metre RC drilling program at the Company’s wholly owned Nicolson’s Gold project near Halls Creek in Western Australia.
Drilling commenced in late April initially targeting the interpreted north-plunging high grade lode extending below the former Nicolson’s Find open pit. Assay results from the initial four holes (700 metres of drilling) have been received and confirm the high grade historical results and support the north-plunging interpretation of the lode.
Highlights of these results include:
-
NRC11031 : 4.0m at 11.8 g/t Au
-
NRC11033 : 3.0m at 8.5 g/t Au
-
NRC11037 : 1.0m at 7.5 g/t Au
-
NRC11045 : 2.0m at 7.2 g/t Au; and 1.0m at 8.3 g/t Au
The current drilling campaign is designed to improve confidence in the current resource and identify near surface and depth extensions to the mineralisation. The drilling is continuing at Nicolson’s Find and is expected to move into Nicolson’s South early next month.
Bulletin’s Managing Director, Marty Phillips said: “The initial results are encouraging, and while still in the preliminary stage, have already demonstrated potential extensions of the known mineralisation to the north.
“The grades reflect the historical data we have on hand, and with drilling planned for the southern area, this presents an opportunity for significant upside in building Bulletin’s resource base beyond the current estimate.”
A complete list of assay results received to date above a 1g/t Au cut-off is presented in Table 1. Representative cross sections of the results are shown in Figures 1 to 3 and approximate intersection locations plotted on a longitudinal section through Nicolson’s Find and Nicolson’s South is shown in Figure 4.
