Encouraging Visual Results at Cottesloe

 

Paterson Range, Western Australia

 

Wishbone Gold Plc (AIM: WSBN, AQSE: WSBN) announces an update regarding the current diamond drill program at its Cottesloe project located in the Paterson Range in Western Australia. The project consists of three tenements totalling 50 blocks covering an area of 165km2 and is considered highly prospective for precious and base metals.

 

The first hole has already returned encouraging mineralised results with highlights as follows:

 

· The first diamond tail, 23CTRCD0004A, is at a current depth of 190m within what is interpreted to be hanging wall shales and siltstones with some disseminated pyrite.

· A sulphidic breccia has been intersected over 7m with a strong pyrite matrix and siltstone clasts with minor chalcopyrite from around 128m. 

· A further 20m brecciated and broken zone from 170m is highly oxidised, haematitic and boxworked likely after pyrite with soft clay zones causing core loss.

· It is highly encouraging to see a sulphidic breccia within the system, even with minor chalcopyrite, although the relationship between this and any mineralisation at depth or along strike is to be determined.

· The target zone is expected to be encountered at approximately 250m and continue to a depth of 400m or deeper if sufficiently encouraging.

Assays will be completed after the drill program is complete and should take 6-8 weeks. The Company expects results to be available in January 2024.

 

Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's Chairman, commented:

"It is great news to have hit such interesting mineralisation and still not at target depth. We look forward to the assay results once the drill program is completed and anticipate more good news."

The Project consists of is three tenements totalling 50 blocks covering an area of 165km2 and is considered highly prospective for precious and base metals.
