RC and Diamond Drilling program completed at Kookynie.

Carnavale Resources Ltd (CAV) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities at the Kookynie Gold Project. CAV has completed further resource drilling at McTavish East following up on excellent, extensional high-grade gold results from recent RC drilling in fresh rock that identified high-grade gold shoots.

  • 29 hole, 4,169m RC drilling program completed, targeting infill and extensions of the high-grade plunging shoots at the McTavish East Prospect identified by previous RC drilling in fresh rock.

  • Additional 7 holes with diamond tails for a further 356.6m of NQ2 core that has provided data for future structural, geotechnical, and metallurgical studies.

==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Drilling designed to allow calculation of a maiden JORC 2012 code mineral resource estimate (MRE) within 250m of surface and economic studies to be undertaken.

  • Drill results expected in late January 2024 .

CEO Humphrey Hale commented:

“The RC and Diamond drilling program was successfully completed as planned. It is exciting to be commencing studies to evaluate the mining viability of the McTavish East Project at Kookynie. This round of drilling targeted the high-grade gold zones that will support mining studies to be completed in the New Year. We remain confident this drilling will show increased continuity of the high-grade shoots and add ounces.”

Area A in figure 2 was drilled to a density that will allow an indicated maiden MRE to be calculated including potential oxide resources. The drilling was designed to outline high grade resources within 250m of surface at this stage.

Area B has had substantial high-grade intercepts but had not been previously drilled in sufficient density to model the high-grade lodes. This area was drilled to test for structurally controlled high grade shoots that can potentially add ounces to the MRE.

CAV completed 356.6m of diamond drilling in 7 holes to provide structural information to the exploration model and provide material for early metallurgical testwork and geotechnical assessment.

This release is approved by the Board of Carnavale Resources Limited .
