RC PERCUSSION DRILLING COMMENCES AT WILDCAT

Highlights:

  • Wildcat Prospect is a known gold mineralised structure with shallow high grade gold intersections and extensive historical workings along strike

  • Previous drilling intersections include:

    • MTAC083, 1 m @ 76.4 g/t gold from 37 m downhole

    • MTAC074, 6 m @ 3.13 g/t gold from 40 m downhole (including 1m @ 5.15 g/t gold and 1m @ 11.4 g/t gold)

    • MTAC078, 8m @ 2.58 g/t gold from 28 m downhole

    • MTAC075, 2 m @ 5.98 g/t gold from 55 m downhole

    • MTAC073, 1 m @ 5.17 g/t gold from 21 m downhole

  • Program of 20 RC percussion drill holes has commenced to extend mineralisation down-dip and along strike

  • Work program expected to be completed during February 2020

Golden Mile Resources (ASX: G88, ‘Golden Mile’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to advise that it has commenced a 20 hole, 2,000 metre reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling program to follow up the excellent drilling intersections recently returned from the Wildcat Prospect, which is located on its Leonora East Gold Project located in the North-Eastern Goldfields of WA (Figure 1).

Commenting on the latest round of drilling, Golden Mile’s Managing Director, Lachlan Reynolds, said:

“We are excited to undertake further RC drilling on the Wildcat Prospect area, where our previous drilling has returned high-grade intersections up to 76 grams per tonne gold within a sheared structure that has a strike length of at least 150 metres.

“The Company’s technical team is impressed by the observed continuity of the mineralisation at shallow levels and is keen to test the extensions of the mineralisation down dip and along strike with the objective of demonstrating potential for a significant gold resource.”

The Company has previously completed an aircore (AC) drilling program at the Wildcat Prospect as a first-pass evaluation of a known mineralised structure defined by a line of historical workings and a limited amount of drilling. Results of that drilling indicated that the structure at Wildcat contains high grade gold mineralisation at shallow depths that has continuity over at least 150 metres of strike length ( please refer to Golden Mile Resources announcement to the ASX dated 24 January, 2020 ). The mineralised structure is open along strike and at depth and intersections suggest localised thickening.

Wildcat Gold Prospect

The Wildcat Prospect is located within the northern Monarch Gold Trend (‘MGT’), approximately 40 km to the northeast of Leonora (Figure 1). The MGT covers the eastern contact of the Mertondale Shear Zone with the basement granites and represents a poorly tested but extensive gold bearing structure extending over more than 16 km of strike.

A program of aircore (AC) drilling was completed at the Wildcat Prospect in December 2019 to evaluate the known mineralised structure ( please refer to Golden Mile Resources announcement to the ASX dated 24 January, 2020 ). The drilling intersected significant gold mineralisation, with intersections including:

  • MTAC083, 1 m @ 76.4 g/t gold from 37 m downhole

  • MTAC074, 6 m @ 3.13 g/t gold from 40 m downhole (including 1m @ 5.15 g/t gold and 1m @ 11.4 g/t gold)

  • MTAC078, 8m @ 2.58 g/t gold from 28 m downhole

  • MTAC075, 2 m @ 5.98 g/t gold from 55 m downhole

  • MTAC073, 1 m @ 5.17 g/t gold from 21 m downhole

Results confirmed that zones of very high grade gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining occur along a northwest – southeast trending structure (Figure 2). Gold mineralisation occurs over a strike length of approximately 150 metres and is open both along strike and down-dip. The AC drilling results are generally consistent with the grade and nature of the historical RC percussion drilling results. The current drilling indicates some wider intersections of lower average grade, suggesting greater tonnage potential, with local shoots of high grade material.

RC Percussion Drilling

A reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling program comprising 20 holes for approximately 2,000 metres of drilling has commenced at the Wildcat Prospect. The maximum depth of drilling will be approximately 110 metres, designed to intersect the mineralised structure at around 80 metres below surface (see Figure 3).

Holes have been planned to test the depth and strike potential of the known gold mineralisation, as well as evaluate the continuity of the mineralisation along strike. The drilling program is anticipated

to be completed in February 2020 and assay results will be reported to shareholders when available.

Further Work

Completion of the follow-up RC drilling is being undertaken to ensure that the mineralised structure at Wildcat is adequately tested for gold mineralisation down-dip and along strike from existing known mineralisation. Results may be indicative of a potential gold resource, which will require further evaluation with RC drilling and diamond drilling for resource definition.
