大南方矿业公司(Great Southern Mining)在西澳Duketon金矿带的Amy Clarke矿点启动首个反循环钻探项目,计划钻探18个钻孔、深度达2300米,以测试浅层钻孔已发现的4.7公里长金矿趋势的深部延伸情况[1]。该矿点浅钻已取得显著成果,其中33米深处的8米矿段品位达6.7克/吨,该段内部4米矿段品位更高达12.5克/吨;此外10米深处2米矿段品位23.9克/吨,20米深处17米矿段品位1.4克/吨[1]。Amy Clarke矿点距Regis Resources旗下的Erlistoun金矿3.5公里,距Garden Well选矿厂12公里[1]。
同时,大南方矿业与全球矿业巨头Gold Fields在昆州Mt Dillon项目上启动合作,Gold Fields可投资最高1500万美元获得Edinburgh Park项目75%的权益[1]。公司在其他项目上的勘探工作也在推进中,Mon Ami项目已完成3089米钻探,Golden Boulder项目已完成4726米钻探,两个项目的化验结果均待公布[1]。Golden Boulder项目已钻探确定1.1公里矿体,潜在矿化走向达3.5公里,后续计划钻探68个钻孔[1]。
Great Southern Mining has commenced its first reverse circulation drilling program at the Amy Clarke prospect within Western Australia's Duketon gold belt, targeting the depth extension of a 4.7-kilometer-long gold trend identified through shallow drilling [1]. The company plans to drill 18 holes to a maximum depth of 2,300 meters to test the economic potential of the mineralized zone [1].
Shallow drilling at Amy Clarke has returned encouraging results, with the best interval returning 8 meters grading 6.7 grams per tonne gold at 33 meters depth, including a 4-meter section grading 12.5 grams per tonne [1]. Additional high-grade intersections include 2 meters grading 23.9 grams per tonne at 10 meters and 17 meters grading 1.4 grams per tonne at 20 meters [1]. The Amy Clarke prospect lies 3.5 kilometers from Regis Resources' Erlistoun gold mine and 12 kilometers from the Garden Well processing facility [1].
Concurrently, Great Southern Mining is advancing exploration partnerships with global mining major Gold Fields, which has the option to invest up to A$15 million to earn a 75 percent interest in the Edinburgh Park project in north Queensland [1]. The company has completed 3,089 meters of drilling at the Mon Ami project and 4,726 meters at the Golden Boulder project, with assay results pending for both [1]. At Golden Boulder, drilling has defined a 1.1-kilometer mineralized body with a potential strike length of 3.5 kilometers, and the company plans to conduct 68 additional holes [1].
