BROAD, HIGH-GRADE GOLD INTERSECTED IN AIRCORE DRILLING AT MONUMENT GOLD PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Highlights

  • Maiden aircore drilling at the Fred’s Well Prospect has intersected shallow, broad, highgrade gold mineralisation as part of the Phase Three aircore program at Monument Gold Project.

  • Aircore drilling also intersected broad zones of anomalous gold mineralisation at North Well up to 20 m wide.

  • Best drilling intersections include:

Fred’s Well

  • 24m @ 3.24g/t Au (MOAC262 from 44m) including 12m @ 6.35g/t Au

  • 8m @ 2.09g/t Au (MOAC265 from 40m)

  • 8m @ 1.48g/t Au (MOAC256 from 36m)

  • 12m @ 1.01g/t Au (MOAC277 from 20m)

  • 3m @ 2.98g/t Au (MOAC374 from 72m) ending in mineralisation

North Well

  • 1m @ 9.03g/t Au (MOAC297 from 4m)

  • 4m @ 1.10g/t Au (MOAC299 from 56m)

  • 20m @ 0.39g/t Au (MOAC327 from 60m) including 4m @ 1.06g/t Au

  • Drilling at Fred’s Well tested two areas of workings covering 370m strike out of a total 770m strike.

  • Drilling at North Well covered 1,500m strike with mineralisation open to the northwest.

Si6 Metals Limited ( ASX: Si6 or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has received the final assay results from the Phase Three aircore drilling program completed at the Monument Gold Project (MGP), Western Australia where 119 holes were drilled for 5,636m across four prospect areas (Figure 1, Table 1). The MGP lies directly adjacent to and along strike of Dacian Gold Ltd.’s (ASX:DCN) ~2Moz Au Mt Morgan’s Project).

Since acquiring the MGP in 2020, Si6 has been undertaking reconnaissance style aircore drilling across the 304km[2] project area to test for a wide range of gold mineralisation styles similar to those evident in DCN’s adjoining Mt Morgans Gold Project. These include bulk tonnage felsic intrusion hosted along with banded iron formation (BIF) and mafic shear zone hosted gold mineralisation. In contrast to the Mt Morgans Project, more than 50% of the MGP comprises shallow surface cover and remains largely untested by shallow surface drilling. The MGP also contains interpreted strike extensions to the host rocks to Glencore’s Murrin Murrin Ni-Co operation which are considered prospective for Ni-Co laterite mineralisation.

Fred’s Well

Aircore drilling at Fred’s Well was undertaken with holes positioned on 100m spaced drill lines with collars 40m apart. Previous drilling had been undertaken at the north end of the northern group of workings on a 50m by 100m grid and consisted of shallow, vertical holes which appear to have missed the mineralised zone which projects to surface in between the historic drill collars (Figure 2).

The Fred’s Well geology is complex, comprising a mixed package of mafic, ultramafic, shale, chert and felsic porphyry intrusive lithologies. The northern portion of the Fred’s Well gold mineralisation occurs along sheared lithological contacts, predominantly associated with sediments and ultramafics. The best intersections from drill holes MOAC262 and MOAC374 are associated with a sediment-ultramafic contact. Historic workings suggest this gold occurrence is located on the intersection of 360[o] trending lithological sediment-ultramafic contact and a cross-cutting 300[o] north-west trending shear zone. Weakly mineralised quartz veining occurring in the hanging wall of the broader mineralised zone in holes MOAC262 and MOAC374 returned:

  • MOAC262: 24m @ 3.24g/t Au from 44m including 12m @ 6.35g/t Au , and

  • MOAC374: 3m @ 2.98g/t Au from 72m

Drill hole MOAC374 was abandoned at 75m depth due to the rods becoming bogged in weathered ultramafic and the hole ended in mineralisation (Figure 3). In the southern portion of Fred’s Well, the occurrence of felsic porphyry increases. Hole MOAC277 intersected significant mineralisation associated with a 200m strike length of historic workings, which are located along the eastern contact of sediments and an interpreted 40m wide porphyry unit.

These drilling results indicate the presence of multiple mineralised contacts associated with a ~100m wide stratigraphic sequence, consisting of ultramafics, felsic porphyry, mafic volcanics and sediments, which extend for a strike length of >400m. Elevated Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Cu and Mn with >20ppm As and >100ppm Cu associated with the anomalous gold mineralisation are indicative of hydrothermal mineralisation associated with high level intrusives and will also be used as pathfinder elements in surface geochemical sampling to plan future drilling programs.

North Well

Follow-up aircore drilling at the North Well Prospect targeted strike extensions to the Phase Two aircore drilling program with collars positioned along 200m spaced drill lines at 40m centres. Drilling covered 1,700m total strike with anomalous gold >0.1g/t intersected over 1,500m strike length (Figures 4 and 5).

The North Well geology comprises a mixed package of mafic, ultramafic, shale, chert, granite and felsic porphyry with numerous granitic and porphyry dykes occurring in the northwest of the prospect area. The majority of the gold intersections in this area are associated with the contacts of felsic porphyry or granitoid with either mafic volcanics or sediments. Felsic granitoids up to 125m wide have been interpreted.

The exception is supergene gold mineralisation associated with holes MOAC326 (8m @ 0.37g/t Au from 56m) and MOAC327 (20m @ 0.39g/t Au from 60m including 4m @ 1.06g/t Au) which overlie mafic volcanics in an area where major cross-cutting aeromagnetic lineaments intersect. Gold mineralisation is interpreted to occur along a northwest trending shear zone however, closer spaced (20m) drilling centred around MOAC327 suggests that broad, higher-grade mineralisation may be associated with a west-northwesterly structure, which crosscuts the northwest trending shear zone (Figure 4).

Strike extension drilling at the north-western end of the prospect area intersected further anomalous gold mineralisation >1g/t including:

  • MOAC299: 4m @ 1.10g/t Au within fresh mafic volcanic, flanked by wide felsic porphyry the contacts of which remain to be drilled; and

  • MOAC297: 1m @ 9.03g/t Au located near a felsic -mafic volcanic contact.

Elevated Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Cu, Mo and W with >40ppm As, >5,000ppm Cu, >15ppm Mo and >1,000ppm W associated with the anomalous gold mineralisation are indicative of hydrothermal mineralisation associated with high level intrusives and will also be used as pathfinder elements in surface geochemical sampling to plan future drilling programs.

Korong Felsic Intrusion (South) and Murrin Murrin Nickel Target

Aircore drilling of basalt-hosted porphyry dykes along the southwestern edge of the Korong Felsic intrusion did not return any significant result although a number of porphyry dykes with quartz veining were intersected in the drilling. Anomalous gold mineralisation was intersected in hole MOAC284 (4m @ 0.13g/t Au from 4m) associated with sheared basalt at the north-western edge of the drill area.

Drilling for nickel laterite over a 1,600m strike of ultramafic rocks interpreted from the geophysics as extending from Murrin Murrin into the MGP intersected fresh granite and amphibolite with no apparent nickel laterite development. Weakly anomalous nickel mineralisation (4m @ 388ppm, MOAC353 from 52m) was intersected in a moderately foliated gabbro and although the immediate area does not appear prospective for nickel, intense shearing and foliation along the granite-amphibolite contact is prospective for gold mineralisation.

Future Work Programs

Detailed structural and geochemical analysis of the drilling data is underway to determine orientation of the mineralised zones at Fred’s and North Wells which will assist with strike extension drilling. Multielement signatures associated with the anomalous gold mineralisation are also being analysed to identify pathfinder elements. These will be used to identify additional targets from the comprehensive surface geochemical data set.
