Cavalier Commences Pre-Feasibility Study at Crawford Gold Project
Corporate Highlights
-
Internal study into suitability of current Mineral Resource for mining review and proposed study type concluded
-
Cavalier to carry out a Pre-Feasibility Study on the Crawford Gold Project
Summary:
Cavalier Resources Limited (ASX: CVR) ('Cavalier' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce that it is commencing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Crawford Gold Project located within the greater Leonora Gold Project area.
The PFS is planned to initially focus on the shallow, thick ore zones that have been densely drilled to JORC 2012 Indicated classification to review the potential for an open-cut mining operation.
Daniel Tuffin, Executive Technical Director, commented:
“Prior private work on advancing the existing 101,000koz Crawford Gold Mineral Resource was extensive and aimed at advancing the JORC Classified Indicated portion of the current resource to readiness for mining approval. This work included infill drilling to grade control standards through environmental surveys and metallurgical testing.
Having determined it suitable to do so, the Company now intends to commence a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) to create a maiden JORC compliant Ore Reserve.
Drilling at the project has commenced, as outlined in our release “Drilling Has Commenced the Crawford Gold Project” on 27 June 2022. To expedite works, the Company intends to carry out the PFS in conjunction with this drilling; the initial phases of the PFS require physical and cost estimates that take time to gather which current resource will be suitable. Final PFS numbers will be based on the updated resource resulting from the current drill program.”

Leonora Gold Project
The Leonora Gold Project comprises two sub-projects, Crawford and Gambier Lass North, consisting of ten exploration licences, a prospecting licence, a miscellaneous licence and a mining lease. The Crawford Gold Deposit, which includes a 101,000oz JORC compliant Mineral Resource estimate, is located on the granted mining lease M37/1202.

The Crawford Gold Project
Crawford is primarily an oxide hosted supergene style mineralised system which has been privately advanced towards a mining operation. Sections of the previous drilling were completed on 10m spaced sections with 140 RC holes for 13,528m drilled and focussed on infilling the oxide zone with little drilling extending into material deeper than 70m. Thick Zones of mineralisation close to the surface are open along strike and at depth; significant drilling results from inside this 10m spacing zone include:
-
11m @ 2.17g/t from 16m in GC_20;
-
10m @ 3.38g/t (inc. 2m @ 12.4g/t) from 17m in GC_14;
-
18m @ 2.77g/t (inc. 3m @ 6.96g/t) from 27m in GC_16;
-
19m @ 1.64g/t (inc. 4m @ 3.23g/t) from 30m in GC_39;
-
15m @ 2.49g/t (inc. 3m @ 7.87g/t) from 35m in GC_21;
-
22m @ 2.98g/t (inc. 6m @ 5.39g/t) from 38m in CG_46;
Prior private work on advancing the existing 101,000koz Crawford Gold Mineral Resource was extensive and aimed at advancing the JORC Classifed Indicated portion of the current resource to readiness for mining approval. This work includes:
