ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT 24 March 2011
CONDOBOLIN EXPLORATION UPDATE
Screen fire assay results upgrade previous gold intercepts Geophysical and geochemical surveys underway
Clancy Exploration Limited (ASX: CLY) is pleased to announce screen fire assay results from the recent RC drilling program at its 100% owned Condobolin project (EL6939) in central New South Wales. An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has also been completed and a geochemical survey is underway. Follow-up drilling is scheduled for July 2011, following receipt of survey results.
Highlights
-
Screen fire assay of the upper gold lode at Phoenix increases gold grade by more than 30% on an equivalent interval basis:
-
7m @ 5.18 g/t Gold from 73m ; including
-
5m @ 6.90 g/t Gold from 73m
-
2m @ 14.18 g/t Gold from 76m.
-
-
Screen fire assay of gold within the higher grade core of a broad, zinc-silver-lead-gold lode at Mascotte has increased gold grades more than 70% over the same intersection:
-
4m @ 2.9 g/t Gold from 76m; including
- 1m @ 6.57 g/t Gold from 77m.
-
Significant upgrades of gold, silver and base metal intercepts were also returned from the Bluebell and Potters prospects.
-
An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has been completed over the Condobolin Mineral Field and results are expected in early June 2011.
-
A detailed soil geochemical survey is in progress at Phoenix and will be completed within the next two weeks.
-
The results from the geophysical and geochemical surveys will define further targets for drill testing. Follow-up diamond and RC drilling is scheduled for July 2011.
Following significant gold and base metal drill intercepts at the Phoenix, Mascotte, Bluebell and Potters prospects reported in March 2011, further samples were collected at 1m intervals from the identified lode zones and submitted for screen fire assay. Screen fire assays offer a higher degree of confidence when coarse gold is present in the mineral system.

Clancy’s Managing Director Gordon Barnes said that the new assay results confirm the presence of coarse gold in the mineral systems at Phoenix, Bluebell and Mascotte, which boosts the grade of the known lodes.
“These results increase our confidence in the potential of these prospects and the Condobolin Mineral Field as a whole. We are looking forward to receiving the results for the geophysical and geochemical surveys, which will assist drill targeting beyond the current prospects. Follow up diamond and RC drilling is scheduled for July 2011,” said Mr Barnes.
The screen fire assay results are robust and indicate uplift factors of over 30% for gold intercepts (Table 2) and the 1m samples have substantially refined the grades within distinct lodes, particularly those with coarse base metal-bearing sulphides.
Screen fire assay of the upper gold lode at Phoenix increased gold grade by up to 45.9% on an equivalent interval basis (Table 2):
-
7m @ 5.18 g/t Gold from 73m ; including
-
5m @ 6.90 g/t Gold from 73m
-
2m @ 14.18 g/t Gold from 76m.
Screen fire assay of gold within the higher grade core of a broad, zinc-silver-lead-gold lode at Mascotte has increased gold grades by 71.4% over the same intersection:
-
4m @ 2.9 g/t Gold from 76m; including
-
1m @ 6.57 g/t Gold from 77m.
Gold grades within copper-gold-silver mineralisation intersected distal to high-grade zone at Bluebell prospect have been increased by 34.5% over the same zone. Copper grades have also been increased by 17.5% (up from 4m @ 1.14% Cu).
- 4m @ 0.39 g/t Gold and 1.34% Copper from 98m; including
o2m @ 0.68 g/t Gold and 2.35% Copper from 99m
Within the broad zinc halo at Potters, grades of a coarse base metals-bearing sulphide lode have been increased by 21 - 27% (previous intercept 6m @ 2.7% Zinc, 2.7% Lead, 30g/t Silver from 100m): 5m @ 3.11% Zinc, 4.1% Lead and 47.5 g/t Silver from 101m
A 2,106 line km airborne magnetic and radiometric survey covering the Condobolin Mineral Field was completed on 9th May 2011. The data from the survey are currently being processed with results expected in early June 2011. A detailed soil survey is currently in progress at Phoenix and is expected to be completed in the next two weeks. A broad, regional soil survey to test prospective areas beyond historic workings has also been planned and sampling is already running concurrently with the Phoenix survey. The results from the recently completed geophysical surveys and the geochemical survey currently in progress will assist with drill targeting. Follow up diamond and RC drilling at the Phoenix, Mascotte and Potters prospects and additional targets defined by the geophysical and geochemical surveys is planned for July 2011. Follow up drilling at the Bluebell prospect has been scheduled for November 2011, following harvest of winter crops.
