Kalgoorlie Gold Mining, commonly known as KalGold, has initiated a new aircore drill program at its Pinjin Gold Project.
The drill rig arrived on site on Aug. 15 afternoon and operations at the Wessex shallow gold target began earlier on Aug. 16.
"We are excited to commence this follow-up drill program which will test the extent of gold mineralisation at Wessex and the peripheral targets at Kirgella North and Providence West," said Matt Painter, Managing Director and CEO at KalGold.
The company has allocated 4,500m of aircore drilling for this phase, with approximately two-thirds focused on expanding recent shallow gold intercepts at Wessex.
The drill program will also explore Kirgella North and Providence West to potentially extend known gold mineralisation in the areas.
KalGold's initial aircore program at Wessex earlier this year revealed hallow gold intercepts, including 28m at 1.27 g/t Au and 12m at 1.17 g/t Au.
The current program aims to further delineate the zones and examine possible connections to the nearby Anglo Saxon open pit gold mine.
The remaining 1,500m of drilling will investigate exploration targets around the Kirgella Gift and Providence areas, where KalGold recently defined a 76,400 oz Au inferred mineral resource.
The results of the drill program are expected to be available between late September and early October.
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining is an Australia-based resources company. The company has a portfolio of West Australian projects. It is focused on the Bulong Taurus Project, Keith-Kilkenny, Laverton Tectonic Zone and Kalgoorlie.
