Highlights
-
A reverse circulation drill program of up to 2,000m will commence this week on shallow primary gold targets at Renascor’s Soyuz prospect in South Australia’s Central Gawler Craton.
-
Previous drilling at Soyuz (see Figure 1 and Renascor ASX announcement dated 4 August 2020) has intersected shallow gold, with results including:
-
7m @ 5.14g/t Au from 26m to end of hole, including 2m @ 16.42 g/t Au from 30m;[1] and
-
6m @ 4.94g/t Au from 14m.[2]
[email protected] www.renascor.com.au
- The drill program will include testing for high-grade extensions at shallow depth and along-strike from the previous high-grade intersections at Soyuz.

Drilling will also target potential sulphide-bearing mineralisation approximately 500m along strike of previous Soyuz drilling, where a recent induced polarisation ( IP ) survey and soil sampling program have identified coincident chargeability and geochemical anomalies at the southern boundary of the north-south orientated Soyuz magnetic high.
-
Renascor has received all necessary approvals and a drill rig has been mobilised to site. The drill program is expected to be completed within approximately two weeks.

Renascor’s Soyuz prospect is part of its 100%-owned Carnding Gold Project[3] in South Australia’s Central Gawler Craton, an area that hosts a significant number of gold deposits and occurrences within an arcuate region around the southern and western edge of the Gawler Range Volcanic Province outcrop.[4] Gold mines and deposits in the region include the Challenger and Tarcoola gold mines and the Tunkillia gold deposit. See Figure 2.

Figure 2. Renascor’s Soyuz Prospect in relation to nearby gold mines and prospects
The region is currently experiencing increased gold exploration and development activity, including the proposed redevelopment of the Tarcoola gold mine, located approximately 20km east of Renascor’s project area, and the Tunkillia gold deposit by Barton Gold Pty Ltd (see www.bartongold.com.au). Additional recent gold activity in the area has included Maromota Energy’s (ASX: MEU) exploration of the Aurora Tank project and its purchase of the Jumbuck project from Tyranna Resource (ASX: TYR) and the acquisition of the Boomerang, Earea Dam and other gold prospects by Indiana Resources (ASX: IDA). See Figure 2.
The reverse circulation drill program of up to 2,000m will include testing for extensions at shallow depth and along-strike from the previous high-grade intersections at Soyuz in an

Drilling will also target potential sulphide-bearing mineralisation approximately 500m along strike of previous Soyuz drilling at the southern boundary of the north-south orientated magnetic high (see Figure 3) where a recent IP survey[6] and soil sampling program have identified coincident chargeability and geochemical anomalies.
As shown in Figure 4, the recent IP survey has confirmed an anomaly that is shallow (from near surface) and significant in scale, covering a zone of approximately 200m in width and five to eight times background.
==> picture [404 x 272] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4. IP Section 6608200N, showing IP chargeability target zone and planned drill holes
The anomaly’s position between the north-south orientated magnetic feature and the granite margin to the south is consistent with a potentially significant hydrothermal system.
At surface, previous soil sampling within the anomalous IP zone indicated Rare Earth Element and Uranium anomalism, which may suggest pathfinders for gold. Follow-up soil sampling and assaying completed last week has confirmed the coincident geochemical surface anomalism. See Figures 5 and 6 (next page).
Renascor considers the chargeability anomaly to offer high priority drill targets for granite associated hydrothermal gold.

Drillhole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes: oeasting and northing of the drillhole collar oelevation or RL (elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. |
• No drilling is being reported. |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
• No data aggregation was undertaken. |
||
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drillhole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect. |
• No drilling was undertaken. The relationship between anomalous soil assays and potential primary gold mineralisation is unknown at this stage of exploration. |
||
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• See figures in this release. |
||
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• The reporting is balanced. All material was assayed. |
