NEW GOLD DISCOVERY CONFIRMED AT PAJINGO

Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activity at its 100%owned Pajingo Gold Mine in North Queensland. Recent drilling along the Moonlight structure has intersected a new high-grade gold shoot, named I o (pronounced “eye oh”), approximately 200m south of the Moonlight prospect and 1,200m south of current underground mining activity (see Figure 1 below).

To date, five diamond holes for 2,720m have intersected mineralisation at I o over a 200m strike length and approximately 400m below surface. Mineralisation remains open down plunge and along strike. The mineralisation occurs within crustiform banded quartz-adularia vein breccias, typical of the mineralised systems at Pajingo.

Recent assay results include:

  • 8.1m grading 6.2 g/t gold from 417.4m including 2.7m grading 12.2 g/t gold from 422.8m in hole JMRD3897;

  • 6.0m grading 16.3g/t gold from 413.0m in hole JMRD3845[1] ; and  0.9m grading 8.5 g/t gold from 442.1m in hole JMRD3848.

Additional drilling is being planned to define the potential of the area. Details of significant intersections are provided in Appendix 1 below.

Commenting on the I o discovery, Evolution VP Discovery and Chief Geologist, Roric Smith said:

“The discovery of a new high-grade gold shoot at Pajingo, within 1,200m of current workings, is testament to the prospectivity of the Pajingo field – where, to date, approximately 2.4 million ounces of gold have been produced. The Moonlight and I o mineralisation on the Moonlight Corridor, which runs parallel to the Vera Nancy trend, may represent a new and largely untested structure. The new intersections support our geological model for the preservation of blind vein systems at depth and on parallel structures.”

Drill Hole Reporting Criteria: Au grade reported to two significant figures. Samples are generally from diamond core drilling which is NQ diameter for surface holes. Some intercepts may be of larger or smaller than NQ due to drilling logistics. NQ core is photographed and logged by the geology team before being cut in half. Half core samples are prepared for assay and the other half is retained in the core farm for future reference. Each assay batch is submitted with duplicates and standards to monitor laboratory quality.
