Corazon Mining (ASX:CZN) executed a diamond drilling contract with K-Drill, marking a critical milestone for its 100% owned Two Pools Gold Project in Western Australia.
The maiden drilling campaign is strategically designed to interrogate the structural geometry of high-grade gold lodes previously identified through historical exploration.
The program will consist of four diamond drill holes totalling approximately 1,000m, with an average hole depth of 200m.
A primary focus of the initiative is a 400-metre deep hole intended to test a potential 300-metre northwestern extension of the current mineralised system.
The exploration team aims to define the structural controls of the system and explore down-plunge extents that remain largely untested.
Drilling will specifically target areas associated with historical intercepts, such as 12m @ 8.6g/t Au and 8m @ 7.8g/t Au.
Regulatory hurdles, including Program of Work approvals and heritage surveys, have already been cleared, with onsite operations set to commence once final survey reports are received.
Managing Director Simon Coyle described the contract execution as a "pivotal step" that provides the technical foundation for long-term success at the site.
By resolving structural complexities and confirming historical assays, Corazon expects to materially expand the known mineralised footprint.
At the time of reporting, Corazon Mining's share price was $0.18.
