SHALLOW HIGH-GRADE GOLD IN GIDJI RC DRILLING

3m @ 9.45g/t Au from 47m (incl. 1m @ 23.11g/t Au) at Highway Prospect
-
Awaiting further assays and further drilling planned to evaluate potential for a shallow gold resource(s)
Miramar Resources Limited ( ASX:M2R , “Miramar” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that RC drilling at the Company’s 80%-owned flagship Gidji JV Gold Project (“Gidji” or “the Project”), located 15 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie, has intersected shallow high-grade gold at the Highway Prospect.
The Highway Prospect is one of several gold discoveries made at Gidji by Miramar since 2020 and is located immediately west of the Goldfields Highway (Figure 1).
Miramar’s Managing Director, Ms Marion Bush, said the team is encouraged by the results to date and keenly await the remaining assays from the RC drill programme.
“This high-grade intersection at Highway is the best gold result from the Project to date and increases the potential for a shallow gold resource at Gidji, where our proximity to numerous gold processing plants aids our ability to monetise any deposit. The intersection is surrounded by several other aircore and / or RC gold intersections with space for infill drilling, so we hope it’s the beginning of a significant discovery.
It’s an exciting time for us. Over the coming days and weeks, we expect to receive the remaining assays from this drilling programme, most of which will come from the Highway Prospect. We’ll then start planning further drilling to determine the scale of the opportunity at Highway.”
The RC drilling campaign comprised 19 holes for a total of 2431 metres and included angled holes testing beneath significant aircore intersections at the high-priority Blackfriars and Highway gold targets and shallower vertical holes aimed at assessing the potential for an initial JORC-compliant gold resource. Most holes intersected supergene gold anomalism at or directly under the base of the Gidji Paleochannel, as shown in Table 2.
Drilling at the Highway Prospect has outlined an altered diorite body, with abundant sulphides, sandwiched between more mafic units. GJRC043 , at the southern end of the Prospect , intersected 3m @ 9.45g/t Au from 47-50m, including 1m @ 23.11g/t Au, in a sample containing a mixture of basal gravels and weathered diorite (Figures 2 and 3).
The Company will wait to receive all assays from this programme, and, pending results, will plan further drilling including bedrock testing and / or resource drilling.
The Company is also preparing for an auger drilling campaign in late Q1 / early Q2 at the Company’s 100% owned Chain Pool Project in the Gascoyne region of WA, where Miramar has outlined high-grade copper, lead and silver mineralisation, along with extensive sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX)-style alteration, at the Joy Helen prospect.

About the Gidji JV Project
Miramar’s 80%-owned Gidji JV Project is located approximately 15 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and is one of three projects held by Miramar in the world-class Eastern Goldfields Province of WA.
The Project contains approximately 15 kilometres of strike of the Boorara Shear Zone, which hosts several gold deposits along strike in either direction.
Despite the Project being surrounded by multiple gold mining and processing operations, it has been underexplored due to extensive shallow transported cover, and the Gidji Paleochannel which crosscuts the most prospective basement geology.
Since commencing exploration in late 2020, Miramar has made multiple large new supergene gold discoveries with systematic aircore drilling and has defined multiple bedrock targets for deeper drilling.
Miramar believes there is potential for the discovery of a new gold camp, with multiple gold deposits, within the Gidji JV Project.
