Large-Scale Gold Targets Defined at the Alice River Gold Project

  • Multidiscipline exploration programme commences at Alice River
  • Indications of epithermal bonanza gold zone potentially preserved at depth within a gold system over >3.8km strike
  • Large-scale untested targets defined adjacent to known shallow high-grade gold mineralisation, through 3D modelling of new high-resolution IP geophysics
  • Rock Chip results up to 460g/t Au, 82g/t Ag in outcrop
  • Drilling to commence this week

Following its successful ASX listing in early July, Pacgold Limited (ASX: PGO) ('Pacgold' or the 'Company'), is pleased to provide an update on its recently commenced exploration programme at the Alice River Gold Project in North Queensland, including a high-resolution IP geophysics survey, geological mapping and rock chip sampling.

Pacgold Managing Director, Tony Schreck said:

"Our initial programme has focussed on the Central and Southern Targets and has provided strong indications that these Targets are located in the upper levels of a large-scale epithermal gold system, which provides enormous scope for the 'boiling zone' or 'bonanza gold zone' to be potentially preserved beneath.

IP geophysics completed so far has been highly successful, mapping in detail the 3D geometry of the known gold-mineralised structures as resistivity lows. Importantly, the geophysics confirms that the Central and Southern Targets are located on one continuous regional-scale structural zone, with greater than 3.8km of strike defined for the gold system. The extent of this gold system has not been previously recognised or drilled due to the wide-spread shallow sediment cover. Drilling is planned to commence immediately with initial focus on the Central Target, where the current highest priority drill targets have been defined."

Geological Mapping and Rock Sampling

A programme of detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling over the Central and Southern Targets has been undertaken, defining extensive zones of 'high-level' chalcedonic quartz vein/breccia over several metres width. Two main vein sets have been defined, trending N-S and NW-SE along an exposed strike length of 3.8km. Rock chip sampling confirms both vein sets are gold mineralised and the system remains open to the north, north-west and south, where the veins are interpreted to continue along strike, concealed beneath shallow cover. The most extensive zone of veining mapped in outcrop is within and adjacent to the historical, high-grade, AQ open pit. Figure 3 presentsthe mapped and interpreted vein sets and rock chip geochemistry.

Rock chip sampling undertaken in conjunction with the mapping programme provides the first comprehensive project-scale, multi-element data set across the outcropping areas of the gold system. Sampling has returned assay results up to 28.2g/t Au and 2.7g/t Ag from NW-SE trending veins immediately west of the historical AQ open pit on the Central Target. Results up to 460g/t Au and 82g/t Ag (with low As 60ppm and Sb 19ppm) were returned from a 0.5m channel sample from veining exposed on the Southern Target and represent examples of bonanza style epithermal veining in an area with very limited historical shallow drilling (refer Figure 1).

The observed low temperature quartz vein textures, combined with multi-element geochemistry, strongly support Pacgold's interpretation of a 'high-level' epithermal gold system for the Central and Southern Targets. This interpretation supports the potential for high-grade gold mineralisation associated with the epithermal 'boiling zone' or 'bonanza gold zone' to be located at moderately shallow depth beneath the level currently exposed at surface. Figure 2 below provides an illustration of the epithermal model and interpreted level of exposure of the gold system at the Alice River Gold Project. High-grade gold mineralisation intersected in previous drilling at the Central and Southern Targets is interpreted to represent examples of the very upper levels of the bonanza gold zone exposed along the structure.

Historical drill intersections include1 :

  • Central Target
    • o 5m @ 67.3g/t Au from 43m (ARD3)
    • o 6m @ 40.7g/t Au from 6m (ARD17)
  • Southern Target
    • o 8m @ 55.9g/t Au (incl. 4m @ 111g/t Au) from 18m (ARRC-33)
    • o 4m @ 22.7g/t Au from 32m (ARRC-45)

Induced Polarisation Geophysical Survey

A large high-resolution IP geophysical survey has been completed over 1.5km of strike of the Central Target and is currently in progress over the Southern and Northern Targets. The survey is utilising a pole-dipole array with 25m space electrodes on lines 100-200m apart and will cover a total of 6km of strike along the regional Alice River Shear zone (refer Figure 3 and Figure 7).

3D inversion modelling (resistivity and chargeability) has been undertaken for the Central Target survey. The modelling over the known areas of mineralisation (beneath the historical open pit) shows exceptionally strong correlation between pronounced linear resistivity lows and the Alice River shear zone which hosts the high-grade gold mineralisation, with the resistivity low interpreted to represent a hydrothermally altered structural corridor. Figure 4 presents a drill section beneath the AQ historical open pit showing the relationship of known gold mineralisation with the resistivity low corridor and the potential for depth extensions to the mineralisation within this resistivity low.

The 3D IP resistivity model over the Central Target highlights several new high-priority targets immediately along strike (north/south/north-west) of the historical high-grade gold open pit. The IP model has defined over 1.5km of prospective strike within the resistivity low structure, which has not been effectively tested by past drilling nor recognised before as it is predominantly concealed by shallow cover sediments. The majority of new targets defined lie within granted Mining Leases, however it is clear that the main structures defined by the IP are open along strike to the north, north-west and south.

Figure 3: Central and Southern Targets showing location of rock chip geochemistry and IP geophysics.

Figure 5 shows a horizontal slice through the 3D resistivity model (45m below surface), highlighting the outline of the known gold system defined by the distinct resistivity low corridor along strike to the north and south of the historical AQ open pit mine.

Within the Central Target area, an IP chargeability anomaly exists immediately along strike and north of the AQ open pit (Figure 6), coinciding with the mapped northern extent of the main mineralised vein previously mined in the pit. The anomaly extends over 350m in length and to greater than 150m depth (the limit of the IP model). Geological mapping across the IP chargeability feature reveals high-level, chalcedonic quartz vein textures with recent rock chip sampling returning gold to a maximum value of 3.4g/t Au, elevated arsenic

(As) to 650ppm and antimony (Sb) to 0.28%. Interpretation of historical shallow bedrock geochemistry2 indicates elevated Au/As/Sb in this region, supporting our interpretation that the target may represent the very upper levels of an epithermal system, above the potential bonanza gold zone.

Historical drilling on the chargeability IP target is very limited and returned a significant broad gold intersection of 50m @ 1.0g/t Au3 from 35m downhole depth, including 1m @ 13.3g/t Au from 64m and 3m @ 4.4g/t Au from 73m. There were no multi-element geochemical assays undertaken within this broad gold intersection, with our interpretation that this intersection represents high-level epithermal mineralisation being based on the recent surface rock sampling and mapping of quartz vein textures. Deeper drilling along the chargeability target is planned in the initial phase of drilling.

The IP geophysics programme has provided a major step-change in our understanding of the Alice River gold system. The IP strongly supports our interpretation from the geological mapping of a structural link between the Central and Southern Targets, defining a gold system in excess of 3.5km length and open along strike, extending to over 180m deep and untested below this depth. The majority of the gold system is concealed beneath shallow cover sediments and remains undrilled in most areas away from the exposed vein outcrop.

Next Steps

The IP geophysical survey will continue through August over 6.3km strike of the Alice River Shear Zone encompassing the Northern, Central and Southern Targets (Refer Figure 7). The IP data has proven to be a very effective tool to map the 3D geometry of the Alice River Shear zone in detail and to define new highgrade gold targets, particularly where the shear zone is concealed by shallow cover sediments.

Diamond drilling on the Central Target is due to commence imminently, with a planned initial minimum 4,000m drilling programme (Diamond / RC) on the Central, Southern and Northern Targets. RC drilling is expected to commence in September.

Processing of the data wascompleted on the data including 2D inversion models and further advanced processing tocreate 3D models of the resistivity and chargeability data.•Geochemistry from rock chipsamples is used semi-quantitatively to guide furtherexploration and is not used for Mineral Resource estimation.•The accuracy of rock chip geochemistry is generally high, but these samples are often spotsamples and generally not used in Mineral Resource estimation.
•Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivityand the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systemsused. •No information is available documenting measures to ensure sample representitivity forsurface sampling methods and open hole percussion drilling methods. These methods arenot used for Mineral Resource estimation.
•Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material tothe Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has beendone this would be relatively simple (e.g., 'reverse circulation drillingwas used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised toproduce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases, moreexplanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold thathas inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities ormineralisation types (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrantdisclosure of detailed information. •Economic gold mineralisation is measured in terms of parts per million and thereforerigorous sampling techniques must be adopted to ensure quantitative, precisemeasurements of gold concentration. If gold is present as medium –coarse grains, theentire sampling, sub-sampling, and analytical process must be more stringent.•At Alice River, gold can be visible and therefore there are inherent sampling problems.Procedures used to manage this problem are documented elsewhere in relevant subsections of this table.
DRILLINGTECHNIQUES •Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotaryair blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g., core diameter,triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit, orother type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). •NA-No new drilling results

GEOLOGY •Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. •The Alice River Gold Project lies within the Alice-Palmer Structural Zone. Gold mineralisationis focused along regional northwest shear zones. The shear zones are largely hosted withinthe Imooya Granite, a pale grey to white mica-biotite leucogranite (commonly referred inthe old reports as an adamellite), of the Siluro-Devonian Kintore Supersuite. At the northend of the Project area the shears intersect gneisses and schists of the Sugarbag CreekQuartzite, which forms the lower part of the Mesoproterozoic Holroyd Metamorphics.•Mineralisation is considered to be Intrusion Related Gold –epithermal style. The goldbearing shear zones extend episodically for approximately 50 km strike length. Goldmineralisation is generally hosted in quartz veins, and minor quartz breccias, up to 10 –15 mwide in places. Gold mineralisation is focused in linear zones up to 150 m strike length.•Gold occurs as both fine free-gold in quartz or associated with arsenopyrite and stibnite.Green-white quartz-sericite-epidote alteration zones extend 50 –70 m around themineralised veins at some deposits but generally the quartz veins display narrow alterationselvages. The weathered (oxide) zones at surface arearound 10 –20 m deep.
