Northern Zone Gold Project Drill Results
Oracle Power PLC (AIM:ORCP), an international project developer, notes the announcement released on the ASX by its farm-in partner, Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) ("Riversgold") on 18 September 2024 and is pleased to provide an update on the Northern Zone Gold Project in Western Australia ("Northern Zone" or the "Project").
Highlights
· The latest aircore drilling at Northern Zone, located 25km east of Kalgoorlie, continues to tag the top of an extensive gold-bearing porphyry system.
· Drilling has tagged the top of a blind porphyry system, with widths now approaching 600m.
· Drill results from the first 8 of the 30 completed holes have now been received, further validating the geological model for the previously announced Exploration Target at the Project of 200Mt - 250Mt at a grade of 0.4 g/t Au - 0.6 g/t Au for 2.5Moz - 4.8Moz of gold1.
· Further drilling results will be announced in due course.
Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented:
"Riversgold's exploration and resource definition work at Northern Zone continues to yield promising results. These latest results demonstrate that the porphyry system discovered at Northern Zone may be larger than originally indicated extending up to 600m in width. Northern Zone is in a highly active and exciting phase of work as planning continues to drill across the tenement to further explore the upper elevation of this blind porphyry. We look forward to receiving and providing further assay results in the coming weeks as we begin to get a true picture of the potential size and scale of this exciting discovery."
1 The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The reader is advised that an Exploration Target is based on existing drill results and geological observations from drilling as well as interpretation of multiple available datasets. The Exploration Target is based on historical third party and Oracles drilling results. It uses data from 53 historical drillholes drilled between 1998 and 2012, and 7 drillholes drilled by Oracle in 2021.
