hole rad002 intersected 18.25m @ 22.0g/t au from 924m (uncut) to end of hole (eoh) at 942.25m, including 1m @ 393g/t au from 926m. significantly, anomalous copper, silver, bismuth and ****nic assays were recorded within the broad, altered intersection
§ the hole ended due to drilling limitations and mineralisation is open at depth
§ structural and geochemical work and a future downhole electromagnetic survey are required to refine the potential for mineralisation to extend into shallower positions within the system
greatland managing director, shaun day, commented:
"our recent drilling at rudall has delivered a significant and high-grade result."
"while recognising the high-grade intercept is at depth, the strong gold mineralisation and supporting pathfinder geochemistry in consistently altered and veined basement sediments continues to highlight the outstanding prospectivity within greatland's tenement package and the paterson province in general."
"these results, together with our continual improvement in understanding of the covered basement geology, stratigraphy and structure, increase our confidence in the prospectivity of the region, and our ability to vector towards intrusion related and other styles of mineralised systems on our extensive ground holdings."
overview of the 2022 rudall programme
the ramses target, within the rudall project (figure 1), was identified as a potential havieron-style body from interpretation and re-modelling of regional airborne magnetic and gravity data. following the granting of eis funding for drill testing, a small, ground moving loop electromagnetic survey utilising an abitibi-rmit (armit) sensor probe was completed prior to drilling in an attempt to detect a conductive body. results were inconclusive due to the thickness of cover. to further refine the drill target, the magnetic anomaly was forward modelled by adelaide mining geophysics (figure 3). modelling estimated cover to extend to a depth of between 300m and 700m over a 500m wide vertical roughly cylindrical body.
diamond drill hole rad002 was drilled to a depth of 942.25m to ensure success in penetrating through the cover into the proterozoic basement and magnetic target zone.
