Drilling Commenced at Western Queen Gold Project

RC Drilling Commenced Western Queen Central Deposit – 3 Drill Targets

  • 1. Western Queen Central Deposit - RC drilling will test the down plunge position of the main shoot. Historic intersections include:
    • 6.3m @ 36.09 g/t Au from 305.7m
    • 11.8m @ 16.08 g/t Au from 340.4m

* High-grade gold is open down plunge

  • 2. Western Queen Central Deposit Northern Extension - RC drilling will test for potential high-grade gold mineralisation extensions north of the historic open cut. Historical high-grade gold intercepts include:
    • 7m @ 60.6 g/t Au from 70m
    • 6m @ 37.34 g/t Au from 50m
      • * High-grade gold is open down plunge, up plunge and north along strike
  • 3. Western Queen Central Deposit Northern Extension - RC drilling will test for mineralisation extensions south of the historic open cut. Historical high-grade gold intercepts include:
    • 2m @ 40.37 g/t Au from 4m
    • 3m @ 10.42 g/t Au from 1m

* High-grade gold is open down plunge and south along strike

Air-core Drilling Commenced at the Cranes Prospect

Air-core drilling will target basement gold mineralisation associated with the 150m by 100m highgrade gold soil anomaly (peak value of 11.75 g/t Au). Results from previous air core drilling include:

  • 14m @ 4.87 g/t Au from surface
  • * High-grade gold is open over >200m strike and at depth

  • Testing along strike (northeast trending) potential to extend the current 200m strike.
  • Test below the recent high-grade surface zone define the basement mineralisation.

* The mineralisation is completely open (along strike and at depth).

About Western Queen Gold Project

The Western Queen Gold Project lies 110km NW of Mt Magnet within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia ("the Project"). The Project comprises of two contiguous mining leases (M59/45 and M59/208) for a total area of 9.8 km². The holder is Mt Magnet Gold Pty Ltd, an entity owned by Ramelius Resources (ASX: RMS). Rumble entered into an option to acquire 100% of the Project in August 2019 (see ASX announcement – 6 th August 2019 – Option to Acquire High-Grade Western Queen Gold Project). The Project is located within a 100km radius of three operating gold processing mills (see image 4). The closest mill is the Dalgaranga Mill (48km) which has a capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. The Checkers Mill (Mt Magnet) has a capacity of 1.9 Mtpa and the Tuckabianna Mill has a capacity of 1.2 Mtpa.

Two mined deposits at the Western Queen Gold Project have a combined historic production of 880,000t @ 7.6 g/t Au for 215,000oz. The Western Queen (Central) Mine produced 660,000t @ 8.9 g/t Au for 189,500oz and the Western Queen South Mine (from two stages) produced 220,000t @ 3.6 g/t Au for 25,500oz.

An updated mineral resource (refer ASX announcement 6 August 2019) estimates remaining resources beneath both mined deposits of 962,000t @ 3.9 g/t Au for 120,000oz. Of note the high-grade zone below the Western Queen Central Pit hosts inferred mineral resources of 130,000t at 9.0g/t Au for 38,000 ounces.
