ASX Release 8 December 2005
ASX code: MEI
HIGHEST GRADE HITS TO DATE AT HARRODS
A 269-hole, 14,597m RAB drilling programme has been completed at Harrods returning high-grade gold intercepts of up to 4m at 20.9g/t (including 1m at 75.3g/t) and 8m at 29.9g/t (including 4m at 56.4g/t). The drilling was following up previous widespread gold intersections obtained in wide-spaced RAB drilling on the large 2.4km-long bedrock anomaly surrounding the Harrods Central mineralisation. 4m composite sample results have been received from most of the recent drilling (programme hole sequence WDRB 626-894) with only some of the 1m re-sampling results available. Significant assay results to date are summarised in the attached table
The drilling results indicate the presence of significant repetitions of Harrods-style mineralisation, particularly to the south of Harrods Central. The mineralisation is characterised by ENE-striking, sediment-hosted quartz veins and stringers within a broad north-trending corridor some 2.4km in length and up to 500m in width. The highgrade intercepts were obtained at the southern end of the mineralised zone and in a western extension of Harrods Central. The latter intersection, together with adiacent RAB intersections, extends the Harrods Central mineralisation a further 50m to the west. The recent drilling has now closed the drill line spacing to 100m over most of the anomalous Harrods corridor and is anticipated to define numerous targets for RC drilling. Assay results from the remainder of the programme are expected to be available in January 2006, after which an updated map of the drilling results will be released.
In addition, a 13-hole, 1,500m RC drilling programme has started at Harrods Central with the aim of testing interpreted positions of higher grade mineralisation and also the recently identified western extension. A detailed cesium vapour magnetometer survey is also being carried out over the Harrods corridor to assess possible stratigraphic controls of mineralisation.
Meteoric's Wilthorpe project, which also hosts the Cartier prospect some 2km south of Harrods Central, is situated about 25km south of the 1Moz Fortrum gold mine where Gleneagle Gold has recently announced a 1Moz resource - see attached location map. Meteoric is close to earning a 90% interest in Wilthorpe from Image Resources (Image retaining a 1% gross royalty) and is currently focussed on assessing the resource potential of this large mineralised system.
