LATEST DRILL RESULTS LEAVE METEOR LODE OPEN AT DEPTH Drilling extends Dave Line to the South
Deep Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling fails to close off the down plunge extensions of the Meteor Lode at International Goldfields Ltd (ASX:IGL) Mount Ida Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
The deepest hole at the Meteor Lode returned 1m @ 33.6g/t Au from 309m (TIC253) and confirms high grade mineralisation to extend to over 250m beneath ground surface (see Figure 1). At these depths the lode appears to extend over a strike length of at least 80m where previous drilling returned 2m @ 16.7g/t Au from 283m (TIC110); further drilling to confirm over 150m of strike extent was unsuccessful when TIC 254 was abandoned due to water inflows.
Future drilling of the down plunge extensions of the Meteor, Baldock and Baldock South Lodes to depths beyond 350m below surface will require diamond drilling techniques to help combat the water flows which recently resulted in holes (TIC242, 254 and 258) being abandoned before reaching the desired target depth.
The Company is confident that the newly discovered Meteor Lode is at least similar in size to the Baldock Lode (43,000oz), and will significantly extend the mining operations at Mount Ida. A feasibility study into the mining of the high grade Meteor Lode is underway. The Meteor Lode is in close proximity to the Baldock Lode and will be easily accessed from the existing mining operations.
At the Baldock Lode south of the 'A fault' drill hole TIC256 returned 1m @ 9.28g/t Au from 287m which, together with significant intersections of 1.2m @ 51.1g/t Au from 339.7m (TID014) and 1m @ 7.0g/t Au from 325m (TIC233) could potentially outline a new lode of high grade gold mineralisation.
Regional exploration utilising Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling techniques was undertaken at the West Nell prospect which is located on the eastern side of the anticline in an area that is similar in both structure and
geology to that of the Timoni Mine Area (see Figure 2). Outstanding results were obtained over a strike length of 300m (north-south) and 120m width and included best results of MIB559 10m @ 1.47g/t Au from 20m, including 4m @ 2.17g/t Au from 20m, MIB566 9m @ 2.41g/t Au from 32, including 2m @ 6.95g/t Au from 33m and MIB567 6m @ 1.29g/t Au from 32m, including 2m @ 4.78g/t Au from 33m. These results are typically accompanied by elevated copper values of over 0.3%Cu and represent copper sulphide mineralisation.
The results are regarded as very significant, and better than the assay results that were obtained at the time of the discovery of the copper-rich Baldock Lode, when RAB drill intersections included 4m @ 1.54g/t Au from 16m, 2m @ 1.51g/t Au from 26m and 3m @ 2.33g/t Au from 46m. Further RAB and RC drilling will be undertaken to identify the full extent of the significant drill intersections.
Should there be any queries on this matter please do not hesitate to contact the writer.
