  • Following completion of drilling at Coolaloo, Westar will immediately commence its maiden RC drill program at the Winjangoo Gold Project

Westar Resources Limited (ASX:WSR) ( Westar , the Company ) is pleased to announce it has commenced its maiden drill program at its 100% owned Coolaloo Project, 25km south of Mt Magnet.

The aircore drill program will comprehensively test 10 high priority targets through a total of ~10,000m of drilling. The program will target where auger geochemical anomalies are coincident with priority geophysical targets, highlighting the potential for a maiden gold discovery.

Westar Managing Director Karl Jupp commented:

” We are extremely excited to commence our maiden drill program at the Coolaloo Gold Project, following the successful geochemical and geophysical results that have highlighted the gold potential to make a new discovery. This extensive drill program represents the culmination of diligent work from the Westar Exploration team and represents progression of Westar’s strategy in rapidly advancing exploration across the project portfolio.”

Gold Projects

==> picture [57 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

Coolaloo is considered prospective for hosting multiple styles of mineralisation including:

  • BIF hosted mineralisation (analogous to the +2MoZ Hill 50 mineralisation)

  • Shear hosted gold mineralisation within granite greenstone contacts

  • Porphyries in granodiorite on granite contacts (Eradinus style of mineralisation)

DRILL PROGRAM

The aircore drilling program is designed to penetrate the regolith to basement and will provide a first pass geological and geochemical assessment of the high priority drill targets as well as providing information to refine the Company’s interpretation of the bedrock geology.
