DIAMOND DRILLING TO TEST GOLD MINERALISATION AT CROSSROADS PROSPECT
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Geochemical review identifies broad zone of gold mineralisation at Crossroads prospect
-
Mineralisation is surrounded by halo of W – Mo – As anomalism within a NNW – SSE trending structural zone
-
Four diamond drill holes (~620m) to commence shortly
-
Targets are:
-
down dip extensions of broad gold mineralised zone and location and intensity of W – Mo – As halo
-
extensions of gold mineralisation and the relationship between lithology and structures
-
NEXT STEPS:
-
DDH assays expected – Q3 2021
-
Compile DDH assays with structural and other data for target generation at Crossroads – Q3 2021
-
Compile and review all surface geochemical sampling data across the project area – Q3 2021
-
Further exploratory aircore and RC drilling – H2 2021/Q1 2022
“The association of a geochemical halo of W – Mo – As anomalism with the recently identified gold mineralisation from RC drilling at the Crossroads prospect is very encouraging. We are looking forward to testing the extension of this mineralisation and the relationship with lithology and structures with the upcoming diamond drilling program.”
- Mr. Shane Sadleir, Moho Managing Director

Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) ( Moho or the Company ) is pleased to announce the imminent start of diamond drilling at the Crossroads prospect, located in the WA Wheatbelt and about 22km west of the Edna May gold mine (Figure 3). The Crossroads prospect is part of Moho’s Burracoppin Gold Project within E70/4688, which is subject to a 70:30 Joint venture with IGO Limited (“IGO”).

Consultant geochemist Richard Carver of GCXplore Pty Ltd has interpreted a broad zone of shallow, eastdipping gold mineralisation surrounded by a halo of W – Mo – As anomalism sitting within a NNW – SSE trending structural zone (Figure 2).

The four-hole coring program of approximately 600m has been designed to follow up mineralisation intersected in the January 2021 RC drilling program (see announcement 20 April 2021 “ Extensive Gold Mineralisation at Crossroads Prospect, Burracoppin ”), with the drill hole layout determined using an analysis of multielement geochemistry, geophysics and gold assay values (Table 1, Figure 2).
The transported cover and clays of the saprolite down to the top of fresh rock will be drilled HQ[3] size (61mm diameter), and deeper fresh rock by NQ size (47mm diameter). This will maximise core recovery and minimise direct drilling costs whilst enabling the collection of high quality lithological, structural and geochemical data. The program is partially funded by the WA Government as part of its Exploration Incentive Scheme to test a potential Intrusive-Related Gold mineral system at the Crossroads prospect.

Table 1: Proposed diamond drillholes
The diamond drill program has been designed with the following aims:
-
Obtain high quality core to study the geology more closely and refine Crossroads geological model, which can feed into any future drill program designs and resource modelling.
-
Reconciliation of rock type and geochemical zones identified by RC drilling with lithology, alteration, structures and textures seen in the core.
-
Identify the orientation of structures controlling the mineralisation.
-
To apply these findings to subsequent exploration programs.
