Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX:KAL) has announced the discovery of primary gold mineralisation beneath the supergene gold blanket at its Lighthorse prospect, located 140km northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Initial reverse circulation drilling has confirmed that the mineralisation extends to depth.
Drill intercepts include 9 m at 3.52 g/t Au from 58 m, including 2 m at 13.65 g/t Au, and 3 m at 5.52 g/t Au from 133 m, including 2 m at 7.92 g/t Au.
The results support the presence of primary gold mineralisation that remains open down-dip and along strike.
KalGold's Managing Director, Matt Painter, highlighted the importance of these results, stating that the next phase of drilling will focus on determining the extent and orientation of the gold mineralisation, to move towards a JORC Code mineral resource estimate.
The company has expanded its work programs to include further reverse circulation drilling, aircore drilling to extend the strike of the Lighthorse Corridor, and high-resolution geophysical surveys to refine target areas.
The next aircore drilling program is set to begin after the Easter break and will cover an additional 2.4km of strike.
KalGold’s integrated approach, which includes detailed drilling and geophysical surveys, is expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the gold mineralisation at Lighthorse and drive future exploration success across the broader Pinjin Project area.
At the time of reporting, Kalgoorlie Gold Mining's share price was $0.0056.
