Red Rock Australasia - Update - Historical Reports

 

19 August 2020

Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource development company with direct and indirect interests in gold, manganese and base metals, announces an update on its joint venture subsidiary Red Rock Australasia Pty Ltd ("RRAL").

RRAL has applied for a number of tenements in the Central Victoria Goldfield, the site of one of the greatest gold rushes in history from the early 1850s, where mining continued sporadically until the early 20th century and where a series of recent discoveries has resulted in a renewed focus on the gold potential. RRAL has commissioned and received historical reports and targeting assessments of its 11 license applications, which are being used to inform the preparation of the NI 43-101 report and develop exploration programmes.

In its announcement of 16th July 2020 the Company set out information on one of these license areas, EL007285. Highlights of the information on EL007271 ("Blue Whale") and EL007281 ("Blue Chip") are set out below together with links to the reports relating to these areas on the Company's website.

KEY POINTS FROM REPORTS

· Records show historical production of 112,085 oz of gold, of which 102,641 oz alluvial and 9,444 oz from primary quartz1 from the EL007271 area, which lies [adjacent] to tenements containing the producing Ballarat Gold mine and contains the historical mining centres of Buninyong and Durham Lead;

 

· Numerous other operations in EL007271 have no recorded production history;

 

· EL007281 has a history of deep lead mining, with recorded mining depths to 93m. Production records are not available despite numerous alluvial mines located on the tenement;

 

· EL007281 has had limited exploration due to the lack of bedrock exposure over most of the tenement, although modelling of gravity and a 2006 seismic line that traverses sections of the tenement gives potential for identification of Ballarat style targets under cover;

 

· Exploration recommended includes mapping, geochemical sampling, interrogation of seismic data, possible additional geophysics, and an initial three hole drilling programme at the Shepherd's Flat area of EL007271 [at an estimated aggregate cost of AUS $90,000 for EL007271 and AUS $42,000 for EL007281.

 

Red Rock Chairman Andrew Bell comments:

"A number of [exploration targets], including some for conventional Ballarat East and Ballarat West style mineralisation, exist within the tenements, which lie [adjacen]t to the Ballarat gold mine operated by Liongold Corporation. [Among these are some sufficiently advanced that they have already been identified as early targets for drilling.]

Despite local restrictions connected with COVID-19, our geologists and those compiling the NI 43-101 report have been able to visit the license areas for planning and review purposes and a draft of the report is expected to be with the Company shortly."
