Drilling Commences at Mt Jackson Gold and Base Metals Project
-
Maiden drilling program underway at Mt Jackson with an aircore (AC) rig testing a 1km long gold-in-soil anomaly
-
A reverse circulation (RC) drill rig is mobilising to site to target multiple high-conductance EM plates prospective for massive sulphides
-
Falcon expects to complete ~50 AC holes and 5 RC holes over the 3-week drill program
-
Results expected in Q4 2024
Falcon Metals Limited ( ASX: FAL ) ( “Falcon” or “the Company” ) advises that it has commenced AC drilling at its 100%-owned Mt Jackson Gold and Base Metals Project, 110km north of Southern Cross in Western Australia (see Figure 2). The program is the first drilling to take place at the project.
The 5,500 metre aircore drill program (about ~50 holes) will test the gold anomalies generated from soil sampling at Mt Jackson, including the central gold target which comprises a 1km-long north-south striking anomaly announced on the ASX on 12 December 2023 ( “Soil Sampling Confirms Potential of Mt Jackson” ).
The RC program to test the four highest conductance plates from the recently completed moving-loop EM survey is expected to commence drilling shortly. This survey was designed to cover the coincident Ni-Cu-PGM anomalous areas defined by soil sampling (see ASX announcement on 11 June 2024 “Electromagnetic Survey identifies New targets at Mt Jackson” ). The very strong conductance of these plates (up to 17,000 Siemens) is consistent with highly conductive bodies such as massive nickelcopper sulphide minerals, sulphide facies banded iron formations or graphite. An additional hole will target the large moderate conductive EM-plate coincident with the central gold target.
The drilling is expected to take three weeks to complete with results to follow in Q4 2024.
