Drilling Commences at Binti Binti Historic Goldfield
-
╘ Drill testing of historic goldfield has commenced; expected to conclude early May 2021
-
╘ Approx. 200 holes for 10,000m of aircore drilling have been planned
-
╘ Assay results and interpretation expected in June 2021
╘ Approvals in place to continue exploration drilling if warranted
Errawarra Resources Ltd (ASX:ERW) ( Errawarra or the Company ) is pleased to advise that drilling has commenced at its recently acquired Binti Binti Gold Project[1] located 75 kilometres north-northeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (refer figures 1 - 4 on pages 2 - 3).
Gold-bearing structures identified throughout the southern and western parts of the tenement hosting the historic goldfield, are mostly untested by drilling (refer figure 5 on page 4). Artisanal workings, which are largely the best indication of gold mineralisation in the area, are located where the gold-bearing structure outcrops. Much of the prospective area is concealed by cover and remains untested by drilling (refer figure 6 on page 6).
Several target areas have been identified which will be the focus of the current drill program (refer table 1 on page 5). These target areas have now been inspected in the field. Some of the identified target areas are very specific, and based on several positive indications across various datasets, whereas others are largely conceptual in nature.
The objective of the aircore programme is to delineate zones of gold enrichment reflecting bedrock gold mineralisation. Final assays are expected in June with interpretation of results and bedrock geology to follow soon after. Approvals are in place to continue follow-up drilling of encouraging results.
This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by Mr Damian Hicks, Executive Director.

Table 1: Description of target areas identified from review of the historic datasets, as shown in figure 5
| Target Name |
Priority | Observations/Rationale | Recommended Work |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | High | Location of most of the historic artisanal workings |
Field Inspection completed Aircore drilling in covered areas. RC drillingbeneath workings |
| S2 | High | Contains significant workings, subparallel to the S1 structure which hosts most of the historic gold production |
Field Inspection completed Test covered areas with regular spaced aircore lines RC drillingbeneath workings |
| S3 | Mod | Cross-cutting NE-trending structure that appears to localise gold mineralisation |
Field Inspection completed Test covered areas with regular spaced aircore lines RC drillingbeneath workings |
| S4 | High | Underexplored NE-trending structure that appears to be associated with significant localisation of gold |
Field Inspection Test covered areas with regular spaced aircore lines RC drilling beneath workings, drill test area of elevated rock chips(>5.0g/t Au) |
| R1 | Mod | Mineralised structures observed in nearby artisanal workings (between S1 and S3) become covered by transported sediments to the west |
Aircore drilling to test for continuation of gold-bearing structures under the transported cover |
| R2 | High | Intersection of structures may be favourable gold deposition site. Historic workings a good indication |
Field Inspection completed Aircore drilling to delineate anomalous areas, RC drilling at workings to test for bedrockgold |
| R3 | Mod | Intersection of structures may be favourable gold deposition site. Workings nearby but not at the intersection. |
Field Inspection completed Reconnaissance drilling (aircore or RC) to determine whether there is gold anomalism at the location |
| R4 | Low | Conceptual target where structure intersects reactive (potential host) rocks. Need positive indications before drilling |
Field inspection and sampling partly completed Drillingdependent on results |
| R5 | High | Intersection of two structures that appear to focus gold mineralisation. Significant workings in the area |
Field inspection completed RC drilling beneath workings |
| R6 | High | De-magnetised dyke suggestive of structural offset and/or alteration. Geology obscured by laterite. Drilling may straddle tenement boundaryinto adjoiningE 27/603. |
Field inspection completed Scout aircore drilling to test for anomalous gold in regolith and/or bedrock |
| R7 | Mod | Conceptual structural target under cover. Reconnaissance aircore drilling should prove whether this is a valid target. |
Field inspection Aircore to test for gold in bedrock and regolith |
| R8 | Low | Conceptual target where structure intersects reactive (potential host) rocks. Need positive indications before drilling |
Field inspection and sampling partly completed Drillingif warranted byresults |
