Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) (Moho or Company) is pleased to announce that its maiden RC drilling program has commenced at the Crossroads gold/silver prospect. 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”). Burracoppin is located in the WA wheatbelt, about 22km west of the Edna May gold mine (Figure 1).
In June 2020, the Company reported assay results of individual 1.0 metre samples from the Company’s maiden aircore drill program at the Crossroads prospect[1] . Gold/silver mineralisation was intersected in bedrock with up to 0.61 g/t Au and 5.53 g/t Ag in bottom of hole (BOH) samples. The gold mineralisation is associated with other pathfinder elements identified as silver, arsenic, antimony, tellurium and bismuth. The mineralisation is open to the south, east and at depth, and is located on the northern margin of a pronounced gravity low that may represent a felsic intrusion.

In November 2020 Moho was notified that it had been awarded a co-funded drilling grant of up to $147,526 from the WA Government as part of its Exploration Incentive Scheme to test a potential Intrusive Mineral System at the Crossroads prospect.
The current RC drill program of 25 holes (2,500m) is targeting the extensions to the previously defined shallow bedrock gold and silver mineralisation at the Crossroads prospect (Figure 2). Three diamond holes (600m) will be drilled at locations to be determined following receipt of the RC assay results.
Moho’s Interest in the Burracoppin Project Tenements
Moho and IGO Limited (ASX:IGO) have now formed an unincorporated joint venture for the purposes of exploring and, if warranted, developing and mining on E70/4688. IGO’s 30% interest will be free carried until completion of a pre-feasibility study, at which time IGO may elect to contribute pro-rata to ongoing work or convert its 30% interest to a 10% free carried interest.
In addition to Moho’s 70% interest in E70/4688, the Company owns a 100% interest in granted exploration tenements E70/5154, E70/5300-5302 and applications ELA70/5299 and E77/2671.
