20 METRE SHALLOW GOLD INTERSECTION AT IMAGE RESOURCES’ ERAYINIA PROSPECT

Highlights

  • Encouraging initial results from EYRC01 20m @ 0.7g/t Au from 40m, Including 4m @ 1.2g/t Au from 48m and 4m @ 1.0g/t Au from 56m

  • 7km untested strike northwest of drillhole EYRC01. Follow-up 60 AC holes planned to map out gold enhanced supergene zone prior to deeper RC drilling

  • At least 16 separate other enhanced gold enriched supergene zones identified for follow-up with deeper RC drilling

Erayinia gold drilling

Image Resources is pleased to announce encouraging results from its first-pass drilling of 6 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 650 metres at Image’s 100%-owned Erayinia prospect (E28/1845 and E28/2742 totalling 106.7 sq. km), located 130km ESE of Kalgoorlie and numerous other operating gold mines (Fig.1) The drill programme has been successful in identifying strike continuity of the King mineralisation (historically drilled by WMC in 199899 and Integra 2003-07*), which starts 350 metres to the south.

Image Resources’ drilling (Figs.2, 3 and 4) show a number of gold mineralised zones within the first 3 southern RC holes (EYRC001, 2 and 3). The best intersection is 20m at 0.7g/t Au from 40m (Table 1 and Table 2) within a sheared, bleached and silicified mafic unit. The mineralisation is interpreted to occur as west dipping stacked pyrite, quartz, and carbonate lodes within a package of Archaean mafic and sedimentary rocks.

A seven km strike length to the north of the King mineralisation remains virtually untested with only 3 deep RC holes (EYRC004, 5 and 6) completed 400m to the north by Image Resources, which intersected siliceous metasediments. Hole EYRC05 intersected a 16m zone of semi-massive sulphides from 47m in a brecciated cherty quartzite, however preliminary analyses are low and are being checked by a more rigorous fire assay method. This area shows a complex sigmoidal-shaped magnetic feature, interpreted to be a dolerite. Further air-core (AC) drilling is proposed to outline the extent of the mineralisation prior to deeper RC drilling.

Future work will include 60 AC drill holes spaced 50m on 200m spaced lines and to a depth of 40m, to help identify and map the anomalous Au within the clay/bedrock interface where the supergene gold is present, prior to deeper RC drilling. The King mineralisation to the south is similar in style and all the RC drilling was sited on a supergene enhanced layer that was first identified by shallow AC drilling.

Further work is required elsewhere on the tenements to follow up on very encouraging positive results from shallow drilling and in some cases deeper RC. There are 16 anomalous Au zones identified mainly from previous AC drilling that will require follow up to ascertain potential Au extensions. These targets vary from 100ppb to 2860ppb (2.86g/t Au) as shown in Table 3.

Notwithstanding these encouraging early gold results at Erayinia, Image remains primarily focussed on exploration activities aimed at adding to the mineral sands mineral resources and ore reserves to increase the overall life-of-mine around the Boonanarring and Atlas Deposits. Plans include a further 119 drill holes totalling 2,872 metres to be drilled in October 2018. Other mineral sands related activities include plans for botanical surveys and drilling 23 holes totalling 900 metres at Bidaminna and Woolka, which are Image’s leading potential upside projects.
