Drilling Extends Shallow, BIF-hosted Gold Mineralisation at Monument Gold Project

Highlights

  • RC drilling results received for 25 holes from the 34 hole RC drill program at

  • Korong and Waihi Prospects

  • Significant intersections include:

Korong

  • 6m @ 1.69g/t Au (KORC012 - 78 to 84m)

  • 5m @ 2.56g/t Au (KORC016 - 124 to 129m)

  • 5m @ 2.03g/t Au (KORC021 - 60 to 65m)

Waihi

  • 4m @ 5.89g/t Au (WHRC005 - 62 to 66m)

  • 3m @ 2.45g/t Au (WHRC010 - 113 to 116m)

  • Broad, shallow intersections extend mineralisation north and south at Korong Prospect

  • New intersections at Waihi Prospect intersect near-surface, high-grade mineralisation and extend shoot southward

  • Data validation and 3D modelling underway in preparation for updated Korong Mineral Resource Estimate, anticipated later this quarter

  • Reconnaissance lag and soil sampling program completed

Si6 Metals Limited (ASX: Si6 or the Company ) is pleased to report that the final reverse circulation ( RC ) drill results for the remaining 25 holes have been received from the recently completed 34 hole drilling program targeting the Korong and Waihi Prospects at the Company’s Monument Gold Project ( MGP ).

Executive Chairman Patrick Holywell commented , “These last results from our first phase Korong and Waihi drilling program have returned some fantastic results, which further extend the areas of known mineralisation at the MGP. Drilling at Korong successfully identified mineralisation over a total strike length of 550m, and most importantly, the mineralisation remains open down-plunge for a number of south-plunging mineralised shoots. With only 10% of the 30km strike tested to date, we are extremely encouraged by the potential to define additional gold resources to add to our existing Korong MRE.

Phase one results confirm that significant upside remains at both Korong and Waihi to delineate nearsurface gold resources, with both prospects remaining open in all directions. We are very excited about the potential of delivering an updated global resource estimate to include Korong and Waihi and our subsequent drill testing of other high priority prospects along the Korong-Waihi Corridor including the Perseverance and Old Copper targets.”

ASX Announcement

The Korong and Waihi Prospects are located along ~30km of relatively untested gold-hosted banded iron formation ( BIF ), which is interpreted to be the same unit that hosts the Westralia Gold Deposit (Dacian Gold’s (ASX:DCN) Mt Morgan Project), located immediately southeast of the MGP.

To date, only 10% of the 30km strike at the MGP has been tested with detailed RC and diamond core drilling to a nominal depth of 100 - 150m. Si6 has identified at least 5 other prospect targets from geochemical sampling and previous air core drilling along the BIF horizon. Excellent potential remains to define additional gold resources to the existing Korong Mineral Resources Estimate ( MRE ) which contains an inferred resource of 0.86Mt @ 1.8g/t for 50,000oz (see Supplementary Information Appendix).

The Korong and Waihi drill program which comprised 34 reverse circulation (RC) holes for a total of 4,363m was completed in February 2021. The program was designed to target strike extensions to existing mineralisation, high-grade shoot extensions at depth and the prospective basal BIF unit. It also aimed to validate the historic drill data in preparation for future resource calculations.

The new drill data has been validated and loaded into the Company database and is currently being used to generate a 3D geological model and mineralised wireframes to be included in a new MRE. All drill hole intersections and collar information are listed in Appendix 1 and 2.

KORONG PROSPECT RC DRILL RESULTS

Assays have been received for the remaining 16 RC drill holes (KORC006 to 021) which were drilled over a 780m BIF strike length to test the central, northern and southern extensions of mineralisation to a depth of 150m and to test depth extensions to interpreted mineralised shoots (See Table 1, Figures 3 and 3).

ASX Announcement

At the south end of Korong, significant, shallow mineralisation was intersected in holes KORC020 ( 4m @ 1.33g/t Au from 52m ) and KORC021 ( 5m @ 2.03g/t Au from 60m ). Both of these holes appear associated with a south-plunging mineralised shoot which appears a near-surface repetition of the main high-grade shoot located at the centre of Korong (See Table 1, Figures 2 to 4).

Proximal to the main high-grade shoot, significant mineralisation was returned from hole KORC015 ( 3m @ 2.18g/t Au from 136m ) with hole KORC016 ( 5m @ 2.56g/t Au from 124m ) drilled along the downdip edge of the shoot at 100m depth. To the north of the shoot, drill holes KORC013 ( 3m @ 0.71g/t Au from 113m ) and KORC014 ( 3m @ 1.29g/t Au from 163m ) confirmed the occurrence of a lower-grade north plunging shoot repetition with mineralisation open at depth and down-plunge of KORC014 (see Figure 4).

At the north end of Korong, a number of new, shallow intersections were received from sparsely drilled areas where no previous mineralisation had been reported. These include KORC012 ( 6m @ 1.69g/t Au from 78m ) and KORC008 ( 4m @ 1.35g/t Au from 48m ), which both appear as south-plunging shoot repetitions. These newly interpreted shoots remain open down-plunge and to the south (Figure 3).

Drilling at Korong has successfully identified mineralisation over a total strike length of 550m with mineralisation remaining open down-plunge for a number of south-plunging mineralised shoots.

Results from this first phase of work are very encouraging with drill testing of the mineralised highgrade, south-plunging shoot system further confirming the overall robustness of near-surface mineralisation at Korong. New significant intersections from poorly tested strike extensions have identified additional shoot repetitions which remain open to the north and south.

WAIHI PROSPECT RC DRILL RESULTS

Assay results for the remaining 9 out of 13 holes drilled at the Waihi Prospect (WHRC005 to 013) have also been received. An intersection of 4m @ 5.89g/t Au from 62m (KORC005) was obtained from a near-surface, south-plunging high-grade shoot which has a similar geometry to the main shoot at Korong. Additional drilling down-plunge towards the south returned 3m @ 2.45g/t Au from 113m (WHRC010). The results at Waihi suggest boudinage (pinching and swelling) is present along the length of the shoot, which is a similar feature evident at the Korong main shoot (See Table 2, Figures 5 to 7).

Drilling at the south end of Waihi targeted south-plunging shoot repetitions to mineralisation intersected in WHRC005 of 3m @ 1.38g/t Au from 69m (WHRC009). A potential shoot repetition in the proximity of WHRC009 remains open down-plunge to the south.

The total strike length drill tested at Waihi covers 680m, with mineralised intersections >1g/t Au obtained over 600m. Compared to Korong, drill collar positions at Waihi remain very broadly spaced and further drilling is required to enhance geometry of the mineralised shoots which will assist in ongoing drill planning and resource definition.

FUTURE WORK

The first phase of RC drilling undertaken by Si6 has demonstrated that significant upside remains at both Korong and Waihi to delineate near-surface gold resources, with both prospects remaining open in all directions . The current drilling density also indicates that with further infill drilling, potential exists to enhance and locate additional mineralised shoots which recent drilling has intersected near-surface.

Database validation and geological modelling is underway and an updated global resource estimate to include Korong and Waihi is anticipated later this quarter. Resource estimation work will be followed by pit optimisation scoping studies to determine the nominal drilling depth for open-pit resources based on current widths and grades being intersected. The results from the optimisation work will also be applied to drill testing other prospects along the Korong-Waihi Corridor which to date remain largely untested and include the high priority Perseverance and Old Copper targets.

Regional soil sampling was recently completed along the Korong-Waihi Corridor and near the Mt Morgans Mining Centre in the south of the MGP area with approximately 900 sample submitted to ALS laboratories in Perth for gold and multi-element analysis. The soil sampling is part of a broader regional exploration strategy aimed at delineating a continued pipeline of exploration targets.
