ASX ANNOUNCEMENT ASX : MRZ | 27-09-2019

MONT ROYAL RESOURCES Drill results confirm regional-scale anomaly

Highlights

  • All results returned from the maiden drill program at the Edjudina Project, WA

  • Drilling completed on broad 400x160m and 800x160m spaced drill centres

  • Results confirm the location of a mineralised zone, coincident with elevated shearing and quartz veining

  • Multiple kilometre-scale anomalies generated

  • Structural zone anomalous over 4.5km.

Mont Royal Resources Limited (“ Mont Royal ” or the “ Company ”)( ASX:MRZ ) is pleased to report all assays from the recently completed aircore program have been returned from the Edjudina Gold Project in Western Australia.

Mont Royal Resources Limited’s Executive Director Peter Ruse commented:

“The Company’s maiden wide-spaced drilling program has generated multiple kilometre-scale anomalies which warrant further investigation.”

Aircore Drilling

A total of 74 AC holes for 4,168m was completed on broad 400 x 160m and 800 x 160m drill patterns, with geochemical drilling designed to confirm the location of the Pinjin Fault as well as define the nature and spatial continuity of associated Au mineralisation. Completed drilling coupled with historic drilling has confirmed a ~300m wide structural corridor as well as defined a broad 4.5km long northwest trending anomaly ( Figure 1 ).

The first-pass drilling tested approximately 10km of prospective Archaen greenstone, centred on targets identified from the Company’s initial sub-audio magnetics (SAM) survey. Multiple low-level anomalies have been generated that support historic intersections with best results including 5m@84ppb Au (EDAC026) and 1m@74ppb Au (EDAC014), with full results shown in Table 1.

All defined anomalies to date show very little supergene enrichment or dispersion, with many of the elevated gold values being returned from the end of hole (EOH) within fresh rock. The lack of dispersion in the regolith has implications for any future drill design as closer spaced drill centres will likely be required to ensure the core of the anomaly is tested adequately.

Bottom of hole multi-element geochemistry results will be used to update and refine the Company’s regional geological and structural model. Results of this will be used to plan followup desktop study and will be presented to the Mont Royal board for consideration regarding future fieldwork programs. The Company looks forward to keeping shareholders informed on the interpretation of this data once it’s received.

Edjudina Geology

The geology of the Edjudina Project consists of supracrustal sequences, comprising metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks in greenstone belts of lower greenschist to mid-upper amphibolite facies adjacent to regional granitoid and migmatitic gneisses. The area is almost entirely covered by transported material consisting of colluvium, subordinate laterite, alluvium, dunes and playas lake clays. The greenstone and granitoids are dominated by north–north westerly trending folds, and parallel fault zones that commonly mark apparent truncations of the lithostatigraphy.
