Highlights

  • 5,000m drilling program planned for targets adjacent to recent major gold discoveries
  • Drilling to commence imminently
  • Heritage clearance obtained for majority of tenement
  • Results expected in November

The Board of Sultan Resources Ltd (Sultan or the Company) are pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Thaduna Gold Prospect in the Meekatharra area of Western Australia. The project is adjacent to Lodestar Mineral's recent Ned's Creek Gold discovery (see LSR ASX Announcement on 03/08/2018) and will consist of approximately 5,000m of aircore drill holes aligned in a grid-pattern traversing prospective geology along strike from the Ned's Creek discovery. The aims of the program are:

  • To understand the geology and regolith across exploration licence E52/3481
  • The outline gold and base metal anomalism throughout the regolith and at the top of bedrock across the licence
  • The determine whether the extent to which the large Ned's Creek gold mineral system extends into SLZ's licence

Raglan Drilling are currently mobilising an aircore rig to site where the geological crew from Zephyr Professional are preparing access and drill sites.

DETAILS OF THE THADUNA PROJECT – TENEMENTS: E52/3481. E52/3461

The Thaduna Project (Thaduna) is located 190km northeast of Meekatharra and adjacent to Lodestar Minerals Ltd's (ASX: LSR) Ned Creek Gold discovery (see Fig 2.) where the past year has seen exploration by Lodestar uncover what appears to be a major intrusion-related gold system with similar characteristics to a number of 1Moz+ gold deposits elsewhere in the Yilgarn Craton (see LSR ASX Announcement on 03/08/2018).

Much of the gold mineralisation at Ned's Creek is spatially associated with Archean Granite contacts with surrounding greenstones and sediments and this stratigraphy is interpreted to continue into Sultan's ground. The proposed aircore program will help map the extent of this prospective geology and determine the tenor of gold anomalism associated with it. In addition to Ned's Creek, Sandfire Resources NL's (ASX:SFR) and Australian Mines Ltd (ASX: AUZ) have permits adjacent to Thaduna.

HERITAGE CLEARANCE - E52/3481

E52/3481 falls within the Yuguna-Nya People native title claim (WC 1999/046) and Sultan have engaged the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC), as the representative of the Yuguna-Nya Traditional Owners, to conduct an archaeological and ethnographic work area clearance heritage survey of proposed exploratory drilling areas at Thaduna.

The survey was undertaken on the 2nd and 3rd October 2018, and involved five Yuguna-Nya Traditional Owners, two Terra Rosa heritage consultants and one representative from Zephyr Professional. The survey successfully cleared over 90% of the area of E52/3481 for exploration drilling, paving the way for the proposed aircore program as well as future drilling within the cleared area.
