Don't forget the Kathleen Valley results from 2022....21 May 2025 16:33
Highlights
· Assays for first five of the 11 diamond core holes have been received (Table 1) delivering exceptional results
· KVRD026 - 6.6m @ 14.86 g/t Au & 21.79 g/t Ag from 209.40m including:
o 5m @ 18.94 g/t Au & 28.08 g/t Ag from 210m which includes:
§ 1m @ 27.60 g/t Au & 47.50 g/t Ag from 211m, the highest grades returned to date
· KVRD025 - 5m @ 4.26 g/t Au & 13.35 g/t Ag from 198m including:
o 3m @ 6.90 g/t Au & 21.62 g/t Ag from 200m which includes a high-grade zone comprising:
§ 1m @ 13.45 g/t Au & 37.70 g/t Ag from 202m
· KVRD027 - 10m @ 1.11 g/t Au & 4.35 g/t Ag from 205m including:
o 6m @ 2.26 g/t Au & 7.03 g/t Ag from 219m which includes a high-grade zone comprising:
§ 1m @ 4.49 g/t Au & 18.40 g/t Ag from 224m
· 1m re-spilts of anomalous 4m composite samples from the 2021 RC drilling have been received (Table 2), extending mineralisation in several holes with a best result of:
o KVRC016 - 11m @ 2.19 g/t Au from 94m including:
§ 1m @ 14.73 g/t Au & 2.43 g/t Ag from 104m
· Mila has completed 22 reverse circulation ("RC") & Diamond drill holes for 4,509m during Stage 1 of the drilling campaign (Table 3)
· Drilling has now defined mineralisation over a zone 200m long and 220m down dip, which is open at depth and along strike
· Heritage Surveys ahead of line clearing and drill pad works are set to commence in preparation for Stages 2 & 3 which will comprise ~6,550m of drilling
· Stage 2 programme will step out and target new gold lode at depth (see Figure 2 below)
· This paves the way for Mila to increase its interest in the Kathleen Valley Project to 55% ownership
· Assay results for the diamond core holes KVRD029-KVRD032 are still outstanding, with holes KVDD033 & KVDD034 being cut and en route to the laboratory
Neil Hutchison, Chief Geologist of Mila Resources, commented:
"I am lost for words! The assay results from the first five diamond core holes have surpassed my expectations. We knew the core would deliver strong results based on the visual observations of the sulphide mineralisation and the Bellevue-Style veins we had intersected. In addition, we received great results from the RC drilling assays indicating the potential of this mineralised system, but to intersect 6.6m at almost 15 grams gold and 22 grams silver is remarkable. This zone includes 1m at 27.6 grams gold and 47.5 grams silver, which is the highest assay result we have received back from all of the drilling at Coffey to date.
"This deposit is really starting to take shape and from the observations in the recently completed drill holes, it only gets better. It's a massive achievement by the onsite personnel from Geolithic, DrillCore and PetriCore, who have all delivered such high-quality work over a short three-month period. We are all excited to commence with the Stage 2 & 3 drilling campaigns, which will chase this highly mineralised system at depth and along strike.....
