Drilling Underway at Southern Star

Highlights:

  • RC drilling now underway at Southern Star seeking to expand on 2017-18 results:

  • 15m @ 6.5 g/t Au incl. 4m @ 23.3 g/t Au

  • 50m @ 1.8 g/t Au incl. 5m @ 9.2 g/t Au and 6m @ 2.9 g/t Au

  • 50m @ 1.6 g/t Au incl. 17m @ 3.8 g/t Au

  • 34m @ 2.3 g/t Au incl. 12m @ 5.3 g/t Au

  • 25m @ 2.5 g/t Au incl. 5m @ 10.7 g/t Au

  • Drilling program at GSN’s Duketon Project to continue over the next few months with an initial 4,500m committed at both Southern Star and the adjacent One Weight Wonder.

  • Final planning to allocate additional drilling meters to other regional targets within the broader Duketon Project is nearing completion.

Great Southern Mining Limited (ASX:GSN) ( GSN or the Company ) CEO Sean Gregory commented:

“We are excited to be now RC drilling at our recently acquired Southern Star project. The drilling is aimed at building on the previous excellent exploration results from 2017-2018 that were achieved from less than 10,000m of drilling. We also intend to test the first of our regional exploration targets including the nearby One Weight Wonder prospect. Beyond that we are finalising our plans to extend the drilling campaign to other regional prospects across our broader 450km[2] Duketon Project.”

The commencement of drilling was delayed by the mobilisation of our preferred drilling contractor due to the commissioning of drilling equipment taking longer than scheduled. The delay provided additional time for the exploration team to review the considerable historical dataset of drill holes and geochemistry programs with a view to adding additional drill targets to the scope of the drill program. An announcement on these additional targets will be released shortly.

Southern Star

Southern Star is part of GSN’s Duketon Project which encompasses over 450km[2 ] of tenements, and tenement applications under exclusive irrevocable option, located in the Duketon Greenstone Belt north of Laverton in Western Australia (Figure 2).

Southern Star is only 4km along strike from the 390koz at 1.2 g/t Au Ben Hur Gold Deposit and further along strike from the >1Moz Au Rosemount Gold Deposit, both mines owned by Regis Resources (refer regisresources.com.au).

Southern Star was most recently explored by Duketon Mining Limited in 2017-18 via a program that discovered significant high-grade gold mineralisation. High-grades, up to 60g/t Au, were intersected as were substantial plus 50-gram-metre intersections, and in places more than 90-gram-metre intersections (Figure 3). Mineralisation occurs within 4m of the surface in places and high-grades are seen throughout the broader mineralisation (refer ASX announcement 2/2/21). These exceptional exploration results were yielded from less than 10,000m of RC drilling completed to date, which highlights the potential for additional mineralisation to be discovered through further drilling at Southern Star. Mineralisation is open both to the north, south and down dip.

One Weight Wonder

One Weight Wonder is a coherent area of gold anomalism with a strike length of 1 km, within 1km to the west of Southern Star. The anomaly is defined by 3 RAB drill intersections from 1995 that ran 4m @ 2.7 g/t Au from 28m, 4m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 28m, and 4m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 12m (refer ASX Announcement 27/4/21; Figure 4). Amazingly, these significant intersections have not been followed up until now, and the target remains open.

Next Steps

The drilling will continue over the next few months, with 4,500m of RC drilling committed at Southern Star and One Weight Wonder. Final planning to allocate additional drilling meters to other regional targets within the broader Duketon Project is nearing completion.
