KEY APPROVALS RECEIVED FOR KURNALPI NORTH TARGETS
-
Cutler Programme of Work (POW) approved – RC drill rig mobilised to site
-
Farr-Jones tenement granted – POW application for RC drilling submitted
Riversgold Limited ( ASX: RGL , “Riversgold”) is pleased to advise on the achievement of two key milestones for its Kurnalpi North Project, in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia (Figure 1).
Cutler RC Drilling Underway
An RC drill rig has been mobilised to the Cutler target in preparation for the first drilling campaign on the prospect since 1995.
Riversgold purchased 100% of Exploration Licence E25/550, containing the Cutler target, in February 2018 and applied for a new adjoining Exploration Licence (E25/573) at the same time (see ASX release dated 26 February 2018).
The first drilling campaign will comprise up to 12 RC holes testing for the presence of a mineralised structure interpreted from previous drilling which returned several high-grade gold results including:
-
CUB50 – 10m @ 11g/t Au (24m), including 2m @ 44.0g/t Au (24m) (RAB)
-
CUR4 – 6m @ 11.1g/t Au (53m), including 1m @ 34.5g/t Au (56m) (RC)
-
CUR6 – 2m @ 10.41g/t Au (28m) (RC)
-
CUR8 – 1m @ 8.21g/t Au (30m) and 1m @ 19.25g/t Au (54m) (RC)
The recently approved POW allows for a second follow-up drilling programme, subject to the results of the first drilling campaign.
Farr-Jones Tenement Granted
The Company has also been advised of the grant of E25/541, which contains the Farr-Jones target and has now submitted a POW application for RC drilling to follow-up historical drilling completed in 1992.
The previous drilling, on a single drill section, intersected easterly dipping gold mineralisation in quartz veining within black shale which extends down dip for over 130m across four drill holes as follows (Figure 2) (see Riversgold Replacement Prospectus dated 11 August 2018):
-
FJB2 – 2m @ 0.21g/t Au (30m) (RAB)
-
FJB1 – 4m @ 1.40g/t Au (74m) (RAB)
-
FJR1 – 5m @ 1.89g/t Au (96m) (RC)
-
FJR2 – 2m @ 4.71g/t Au (143m) (RC)
The mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike and will be tested down dip and to the north and south with 50m and 100m step-out RC holes respectively.
Riversgold’s Managing Director, Mr Allan Kelly, said the Company was excited about the opportunity to be finally testing the Cutler and Farr-Jones targets.
“Farr-Jones is one of the most prospective of the original targets which Riversgold listed upon in the December quarter 2017 and, with the recent Cutler purchase, we have secured another high-quality 100%-owned target,” Mr Kelly said.
“Cutler and Farr-Jones are both walk-up drill targets with unfinished business and are also ideally located within close proximity to existing transport and processing infrastructure should we make a significant gold discovery,” he added.
