Drilling being undertaken to progress the Exploration Target announced 16 July 2020. Previous intercepts include:
-
12m @ 6.62g/t from 10m in PFRC116
-
3m @ 9.28g/t from 47m in HPFRC17

7m @2.43g/t from 26m in PFCR115
-
Drilling will also be undertaken on the periphery of the Exploration Target to pursue gold mineralisation in areas not yet closed off by previous drilling

PRIMROSE GOLD PROJECT
Following a successful recapitalisation and re-quotation on the ASX, Cervantes Corporation Limited (ASX:CVS) was pleased to advise that drilling had commenced on its flagship Primrose Gold Project in the Yalgoo district of WA (Figure 1), as announced on 16 June 2021. A campaign of approximately 3,000m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to focus on the Blue Heaven Exploration Target (ASX release on 16 July, 2020), an untested primary gold mineralisation target, and a number of as yet untested historic gold lodes.

Blue Heaven
The Blue Heaven area covers the core of the historic Paynes Find gold field. It was the major focus of the previous explorer’s drilling activities. During 2020, Cervantes reviewed this data and confirmed and rectified collar locations with a high definition digital elevation survey supported by spot DGPS on the ground surveying.
Verification and infill drilling was started in support of converting this Exploration Target to a JORC resource, and to test highly prospective ground not previously drilled.

In addition, in-fill and extensional drilling will be undertaken in areas that have gaps in the drilling or the mineralisation is not closed off.
Primrose Shear Conceptual Gold Target
Prior to the previous explorer exiting the field, CSA Global was commissioned to undertake a review of the geological data for the purpose of improving the understanding of the structural and lithostratigraphic controls on mineralisation in this gold field. CSA recognised two gold mineralising events:
-
Shear related quartz veining with high grade gold tightly bound within segmented and boudinaged quartz veins within the gneiss lithologic units – the main target for the historic mining activities. This is interpreted to represent remobilised gold.
-
Moderate grade, but more consistent gold mineralisation along the sheared contact between mafic amphibolite and gneiss that is interpreted as the primary gold mineralising event.
The previous explorer focused on the first style and it is this style that represents all of the historic Paynes Find gold mines. These mines are developed on secondary structures associated with the Primrose Shear. Over 37 historic mines occur within the area.
The second style, interpreted to be closely associated with the Primrose Shear itself (Figure 2), has not been well tested. Historic drill hole PFRC116 (Table 1) may possibly represent this style, having a thicker intercept with moderate grade. This style has been overlooked up until now as it is not generally associated with quartz veining.

Exploration Drilling
Many of the known Lines of Lode, i.e., major quartz veins along which shallow mines have been developed, have never been tested by drilling. The drilling campaign announced on ASX on 16 June 2021 is designed to undertake an initial testing of these to gauge their potential.
CORPORATE
Cervantes was successfully reinstated to Official Quotation on the ASX on Friday, 4 June 2021, following completion of the Company’s recapitalisation.
MATERIAL EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF QUARTER
There were no material events subsequent to the end of the quarter.

About Cervantes Corporation Limited
Cervantes is an emerging gold explorer and aspiring gold miner. It has built up a portfolio of gold properties in a well-known and historically producing gold district with a strategy to apply novel exploration and development thinking. The company is committed to maximising shareholder value through the development of those opportunities.
About the Primrose Project
The Primrose Project covers in excess of 8km of the highly gold mineralised Primrose Shear in the Murchison District of the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia. Over 37 gold mines operated in this field from 1911 till 1982. Some 79,915 ounces of gold was mined at an average grade of 28g/t during this period. It is generally accepted that significantly more gold than this was won from alluvial and unreported production.
Cervantes controls mining leases and prospecting licences that cover the majority of this historic gold field. A large database of drilling, surface geochemistry, geological, and geophysical data has been assembled to allow the field to be better understood than at any time in its history.
Competent Person’s Statement
The details contained in this report that pertain to exploration results are based upon information compiled by Mr Marcus Flis, Technical Director of Cervantes Corporation Limited. Mr Flis is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and has sufficient experience in the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the December 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). Mr Flis consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based upon his information in the form and context in which it appears.
