Augustus Minerals公司在西澳大利亚Leonora以北35公里处的Music Well项目取得重大勘探进展[1]。6月进行的反循环钻探在Clifton East矿点发现了迄今最高的黄金品位，钻孔MWRC0019在深度72米处获得品位19.5克/吨的1米黄金矿段，该矿段位于更广泛的8米区域内，整体品位为3.27克/吨[1]。
Augustus Minerals勘探总经理Andrew Ford表示，"19.5克/吨的单米品位反映了该矿点托管高品位矿脉的潜力"[1]。Clifton East矿点沿400米走向已确定黄金矿化迹象[1]。公司已基于新的地质模型制定后续钻探计划，将在两到三周内启动[1]。此外，Augustus Minerals近期完成了250万澳元融资，Gold Fields Limited通过子公司G Ex Australia获得5%股份[1]。钻石芯样品预计5至6周后返回[1]。
Augustus Minerals has achieved its highest gold grade to date at the Music Well project near Leonora in Western Australia, with reverse circulation drilling in June intersecting a one-meter gold-bearing segment grading 19.5 grams per tonne at the Clifton East prospect [1]. The high-grade intersection was encountered at a depth of 72 meters in drill hole MWRC0019 and sits within a broader eight-meter zone grading 3.27 grams per tonne [1]. Gold mineralization has been identified along a 400-meter strike at Clifton East [1].
The Music Well project, covering 1,242 square kilometers and located 35 kilometers north of Leonora, has received financial support following a recently completed capital raise of AUD 2.5 million, during which Gold Fields Limited acquired a 5% stake through its subsidiary G Ex Australia [1]. According to Andrew Ford, Augustus Minerals' exploration manager, the 19.5g/t single-meter grade demonstrates the prospect's potential to host high-grade veins [1]. Diamond core samples are expected to be returned within five to six weeks, with follow-up drilling planned to commence in two to three weeks based on an updated geological model [1].
