Further results from drilling at Mine River

- 2.5 metres at 0.83g/t Au including 0.5 metres at 2.83g/t Au in 21-TB-09, Hole 5

- Further gold analysis of hole 4 confirms previously reported grades

Arkle Resources (AIM: ARK) announces results from its fifth drillhole of the diamond drilling programme being undertaken at the Company's 100% owned Mine River Gold Project in Wicklow / Wexford. Further analysis of previous results from 21-TB-08, Hole 4, where visible gold ("Au") was noted, confirmed the grades previously reported on 13 July 2021.  

Highlights of Hole 5:

This recent drillhole was located 220 metres west along strike from 21-TB-08 (Hole 4), with further blue quartz veins and sulphide noted. Additional work on the samples will be undertaken to better understand the nature of the gold.

Samples from the sixth hole have been sent for analysis and drilling has now commenced on the seventh hole of the drill programme, which is located 100 metres eastwards of Hole 5.

John Teeling, Chairman commented: "We continue to intercept more gold veins along strike at Tombreen. Although the bulk of the veins are low grade it proves the extension of them for hundreds of metres. This is now a substantial gold zone. The latest hole being drilled, Hole 7, is located 100m eastwards of Hole 5."
