AIRCORE DRILLING INTERSECTS WIDE ZONES OF GOLD MINERALISATION AT NORTH WELL, MONUMENT GOLD PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Highlights

  • Encouraging results received in final assays from Phase Two aircore drilling program at Monument Gold Project located within the Laverton Tectonic Zone, Western Australia

  • Phase Two was completed in Q2 CY2022 and consisted of ~6,000m of drilling from 130 holes with 5 prospect areas comprising two felsic intrusions and three structural targets tested

  • Final assays returned promising results at North Well Prospect, Celia and Aermotor and confirmed these prospects require follow up testing

  • North Well drilling focused on significant mineralisation encountered in historic drilling in 2010, successfully confirming the northwest trend and association with the regionally significant Celia Tectonic Lineament

  • Mineralisation observed within the North Well mineralised corridor extends over 1.2km and remains open in both directions

  • The multi-element signature observed at North Well coincides with elevated bismuth, silver, arsenic, copper and tungsten pathfinder elements indicative of intrusion related gold mineralisation

  • Phase Three drilling program will comprise infill and strike extension aircore drilling and is expected to commence in October.

Si6 Metals Limited ( ASX: Si6 or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has received the final assay results from the Phase Two aircore (AC) drilling program completed in Q2 CY2022 at the Monument Gold Project (MGP), Western Australia (Figure 1). Drilling was undertaken on tenure directly adjacent to and along strike of Dacian Gold Ltd’s (ASX:DCN) ~2Moz Au Mt Morgans Project. DCN recently received a takeover offer from Genesis Minerals Ltd (ASX:GMD) which is seeking to consolidate Western Australia’s northern Goldfields. Si6 intends to commence Phase Three AC drilling at MGP next month.

Si6’s 100%-owned MGP currently contains a 3.3Mt @ 1.4g/t Au for 154koz gold resource along the banded iron formations (BIF). Drilling for Si6’s current 154koz gold resource was completed in 2021 with the resource calculated by CSA Global and announced mid-2021 (see ASX release on 2 August 2021). MGP contains multiple target styles of gold mineralisation including BIFs and basalt-hosted, however, significant potential for large-tonnage deposits exists in the intrusion hosted targets.

Si6 is currently focused on prospects where geochemical analysis provides indications of the existence of fractionated, felsic intrusives belonging to the sanukitoid suite of evolved intrusive rocks. Such prospects are significant when taking into consideration the similarities with other gold-bearing sanukitoid intrusions such as Hemi (~11Moz) or Tropicana (~5Moz), as well as other nearby bulk tonnage, multi-million-ounce projects such as the Wallaby (~7Moz) and Jupiter (~1.5Moz) projects.

Si6’s Exploration Manager, Michael Jackson stated, “We are pleased to receive the final assay results from our Phase Two drilling program at MGP which have continued to deliver promise for the Company, in this instance particularly at the North Well prospect. North Well is emerging as a key target for Si6 with these results confirming the potential that was highlighted during historical drilling in this area. These results provide us with added confidence as we now look ahead to commencing the Phase Three aircore drilling program at MGP in October.”

Program Summary

The current drilling program consisted of ~6,000m of drilling from 130 holes with 5 prospect areas tested. This included 35 holes drilled at Korong (1,326m), 14 holes at Aermotor (684m), 20 holes at Celia (1,480m), 39 holes at North Well (2,068m) and 21 holes at Triton (472m). Drilling was undertaken on 40m and 80m centres with line spacings ranging from 200m up to 400m along the length of the interpreted mineralised trends. Sampling consisted of taking 4m composites from the individual sample piles with a single 1m sample taken at the end of hole for whole rock analysis in order to undertake rock type characterisation.

The drilling intersected a wide range of prospective lithologies including granite, porphyry, gabbro, dolerite, ultramafic, sediment and felsic volcanic. Some of the hole depths exceeded 100m which is indicative of significant regional structures fundamental to the development of mineralised gold systems (Figure 2).

Drilling on the western side of the Celia Tectonic Lineament intersected ultramafic lithologies from the Murrin Murrin domain, which are highly prospective for Ni-Co laterite. Felsic volcanics intersected at the North Well and Aermotor target areas also indicate the prospectivity for volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) Zn-Pb-Cu-Au-Ag mineralisation.

The broad spaced drilling returned numerous mineralised intercepts >0.1g/t Au from the North Well, Celia and Aermotor Prospects over an 8km strike along the Celia Tectonic Lineament and confirms that the poorly tested Celia Tectonic Lineament, which is almost entirely under transported cover, has potential to host significant gold mineralization. Nine kilometres of strike of this structure extends from North Well to the southern tenement boundary and remains largely untested.

Program Details

Aircore drilling was undertaken at the North Well prospect following up on significant mineralisation encountered in historic drilling in 2010 including 4m @ 1.26g/t Au from 40m (RAB hole KOA052), 6m @ 1.25g/t Au from 52m (AC hole KOA092) and 4m @ 1.70g/t Au from 76m (AC hole KOA093) associated with a northwest trending magnetic structural feature highlighted in the geophysics (Figures 3 and 4).

ASX Announcement

The drilling here was designed to test the interpretation that the principal control on mineralization is a cross-cutting northeast structure evident in geophysics. Recent drilling was undertaken on three northwest-southeast orientated lines spaced 200m apart and has confirmed that the North Well mineralisation is actually northwest trending and associated with the regionally significant Celia Tectonic Lineament. The recent AC drilling by Si6 returned a number of broad intercepts >0.2g/t Au over the 1,200m strike length tested. These included 8m @ 0.98g/t Au from 56m (MOAC219, including 4m @ 1.84g/t Au ), 9m @ 0.32g/t Au from 52m and ending in mineralisation (MOAC214) and 8m @ 0.24g/t Au from 20m (MOAC190). Mineralisation remains open along strike to the northwest and southeast.

Along strike and to the northwest of the extent of AC drilling, a number of historic workings previously sampled by Si6 returned significant results (>0.1g/t Au) from grab sampling including values up to 22.3g/t Au . The grab samples occur along the broader, northwest trending mineralised corridor and also have elevated bismuth, silver, arsenic, copper and tungsten which is an indicator of intrusion related gold mineralisation.

The area southeast of the North Well Prospect is covered by extensive transported overburden with less than 10% of the strike area covered by historic surface sampling and drilling with the greater portion corridor remaining to be explored.

Aircore drilling at Aermotor targeted the contact between a sedimentary and mafic volcanic sequence adjacent to the Celia Tectonic Lineament observed in geophysics where previous drilling by Si6 intersected 4m @ 0.44g/t Au from 36m (MOAC064) (Figure 2).

Along strike and 220m to the southeast of MOAC064, drilling intersected 4m @ 0.12g/t Au from 36m (MOAC234) at the contact between a mafic and felsic volcanic with mineralisation remaining open to the southeast. Anomalous copper mineralisation (>90ppm Cu) associated with this intercept also confirms an association with a felsic intrusive whereby Aermotor was identified as a priority target in the Round 23, Exploration Incentive Scheme drilling undertaken in October 2021.

Aircore drilling was undertaken at the Celia Prospect targeting a series of north-south structures crosscutting a major regional fault along the western edge of the Celia Tectonic Lineament. The fault structure is regionally significant as it separates the Murrin Murrin Domain and the main greenstone belt which traverses the Project. Aircore drilling intersected anomalous bedrock mineralisation in hole MOAC246 with 4m @ 0.29g/t Au from 44m returned consisting of quartz stockwork veins hosted within ultramafic lithology (Figure 2).

The highly encouraging results returned from the North Well and Aermotor prospects and their multielement signature indicative of fertile intrusive source rocks demonstrates significant potential remains across the MGP area for bulk-tonnage intrusion-hosted and high-grade, vein-hosted gold mineralisation.

Next Steps

Infill and strike extension AC drilling at North Well and along the strike of the 8km magnetic feature is planned for Phase Three AC drilling expected to commence in October 2022. Targets identified from ongoing target generation through reconnaissance soil sampling and analysis of the geochemistry database combined with geophysics data will also be drill tested as part of upcoming and future

programs. These include the 1,000m long Perseverance IP anomaly 2km along strike of Waihi (0.2Mt @ 2.1g/t for 15koz Au resource), Fred’s Well where grab and rock chip sampling over 700m strike has returned a number of samples >1g/t Au, up to 39.3g/t Au. In addition, the Company intends to systematically test a number of nickel targets across the project area including strike extensions to Glencore’s Murrin Murrin Ni-Co Project which extend into the MGP.

1m re-splits of composite drill intercepts >0.2g/t from Phase Two AC drilling have been collected and submitted to ALS Kalgoorlie for Fire Assay gold analysis to validate the mineralised intercepts and identify individual samples containing the best gold mineralisation. On receipt of the re-split assays, further field work will be undertaken to identify the nature and style of the gold mineralisation which will help navigate future drill programs.
