Quarter 2 results13 Jul 2025 07:59
Thought I would post this again as a reminder:-
West Dome Pit:-
Well we know there are 4 drills on this pit area, one of these drills though is a big one for hydrological drilling ie bore holes. One photo we have shows that rig halfway up stage 7 above the West Dome Deeps and can also be seen on another photo in the base of the pit. Other photos shows the other rigs drilling the central potential zone and Stage 7 extension area, this is to close the spacings from past drill holes to convert inferred resources into indicated. They have also been in the base of the pit extending the potential under the current resource.
There’s no other evidence that I’ve seen of those rigs drilling elsewhere but they could have been especially over the extension zones.
Main Dome underground:-
2 underground rigs have been drilling on the ESC , M reefs and A reefs. These have again been infill drilling to convert the inferred resources to indicated and also extend information on the ore body.
These rigs moved during the quarter back to the West Dome Deeps drilling platform.
West Dome Deeps:-
We were informed in an RNS that they would be infill drilling the high grade zone to firm up a resource ( remember they can’t reach a lot of it from there). We were also informed in the February RNS they wanted to test the stockwork underneath the high grade. That for me is very intriguing as that could be a big zone.
Other areas:-
Either ends of Parkland around a dozen pads were drilled there although Antipa have announced only anomalous results. There could be some hope still for us as Goldworm describes the Ggp area as having the “hinge “ of 2 anticlines on that licence and that could act as a conduit for a molten fluid event 🤞
Trotmans (central?) had 6 pads earlier on in the quarter.
Big Tree around 34 pads have been constructed waiting for the drill rig, this is an extension to the existing drilling which has a strike length of over 1km, the new area is also over 1km strike length.
Backdoor/ ironclad recently has added around 8 pads to the north of historical drilling.
Ernest Giles:-
Around 30 pads have been constructed recently and an RC rig has drilled some of these as at the last satellite image, maybe this will come in the next quarters update.
Rio jv :-
Chilly on Strickland is suppose to be in this quarters drill programme not seen anything yet.
Further survey work was suppose to happen at Atlantis to firm up a drill programme for this half year.
Calypso survey work was also suppose to be in this half year with drill planning.
Teague has 2 new pads recently.
Strickland had a 40% surrender this last half year from the jv .
Telfer Domain was surrendered. Antipa applied for the eastern end of this and Greatland applied for the western end together with the Strickland portion and further area to the west.
