Drilling commences at Basin Creek Project, NSW

Targeting a major gold discovery in the Lachlan Fold Belt

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling now underway testing a +3.5km long, continuous gold system at the Main Ridge Gold Prospect , part of the 100%-owned Basin Creek Project in NSW.

  • The drilling program has recently been increased in size following the major expansion of gold-in-soil anomalies, which now stretch the full length of the Main Ridge Prospect.

  • A second (diamond) drill rig is scheduled to arrive on site next week.

  • The compilation of Company exploration data has reinforced the potential for a large epithermal or high-level porphyry gold system at Basin Creek, and demonstrates the prospectivity of the Lachlan Fold Belt region.

DevEx Resources (ASX: DEV or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has commenced Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Main Ridge Prospect, located within its 100%-owned Basin Creek Gold Project in New South Wales.

The current ~14-hole RC/diamond drilling program (~2,800m) is designed to test several high priority drill targets within the broader gold system. In order to assist with the assessment of this large-scale gold system and provide additional structural geological information, a diamond drill rig is also planned to be mobilised to site in the coming week.

Recent soil sampling, announced earlier this month, has significantly expanded the system of extensive gold anomalies, defining a continuous trend which stretches the full + 3.5km length of the Main Ridge Prospect (Figure 2). This is supported by previous surface rock chip sampling which returned grades of up to 8.0g/t Au in strongly altered felsic to intermediate volcanic and porphyry rocks (see ASX Announcement – 5[th] August 2020).

The anomalies overlie an elongate felsic porphyry/dome – mixed rhyolite, tuffs, breccias and porphyry rocks – all showing a close association with an extensive area of quartz stockwork and sheeted veins, strong silicification and sericite, clay and potassium feldspar (adularia) alteration.

Anomalous gold-in-rock chip and soil samples are also closely associated with other elevated pathfinder metals including silver, molybdenum, bismuth and antimony, suggesting the presence of an epithermal or high-level porphyry gold system.

The drilling programme at the Main Ridge Gold Prospect will form part of a two-pronged drilling campaign, with drilling also scheduled test several shallow porphyry copper-gold targets at the nearby Junee Copper-Gold Project .

Response to COVID-19

DevEx has implemented company-wide protocols consistent with the current advice from the Government and health authorities to proactively manage the potential impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company and is continuing to monitor the advice to ensure that its protocols remain relevant.

Currently, COVID-19 has had minimal impact on the Company’s exploration activities in New South Wales.

All necessary health and safety precautions are being taken as part of this process of returning to the office. The Company remains well-funded to continue operations throughout this period.
