Growth drilling targeted resource additions outside of the existing Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource limits and included:
• Extensions of the Eastern Breccia incorporating definition of identified internal higher-grade zones – assay results reported for 2 drill holes.
• Extensions to the Northern Breccia at depth between the current Northern Breccia Resource and Eastern Breccia Resource – assay results reported for 4 drill holes
• Drilling to assess geophysical targets outside of the main Havieron system – 2 drill hole results from step- out drilling to the northwest and southeast of the Havieron system.
The Eastern Breccia is developed below the 4,100RL with a footprint of over 500m in strike, up to 200m in width, and over 250m in vertical extent. Within this zone, multiple northwest trending internal higher-grade (>1 g/t Au) sulphide dominated domains are observed. HAD098W9 intersected 31.1m @ 4.9g/t Au & 0.13% Cu from 1,635m, including 10m @ 13g/t Au & 0.14 % Cu from 1,655m ~ 50m to the north west of the current Eastern Breccia Resource. HAD164W3 intersected 57m @ 2.1 g/t Au and 0.19% Cu from 1262 m, including 10m @ 8.5g/t Au & 0.29% Cu from 1307m ~200m vertically above the existing Eastern Breccia Mineral Resource.
Drilling in the Northern Breccia zone further highlights potential for incremental extensions to the Current Mineral Resource. Results include: HAD098W8, 22m @ 8.1g/t Au & 0.14% Cu from 1,287m, HAD098W9, 29.9m @ 3.9g/t Au & 0.01% Cu from 945.1m.
Drilling to test geophysical targets outside of the known Havieron mineralised system, including evaluating the Havieron system to along strike to the northwest and southeast, revealed no significant intercepts from two drill holes (HAD169 and HAD170).
The current campaign of growth programs for Havieron is now complete and will support ongoing resource assessment. Drilling is currently focussed on infill drilling on the lower SE Crescent zone with three rigs continuing into the June 2023 quarter.
