Macro Metals launches maiden drilling program at Goldsworthy East

Macro Metals (ASX:M4M) has commenced its inaugural drilling program at the Goldsworthy East Project.

The drilling initiative kicked off on Sept. 30, following a brief delay to let recent rainfall subside.

K-Drill, Macro's contracted drillers, along with technical support from RSC, have commenced the reverse circulation drilling program.

The initial stage of drilling includes a minimum of 30 holes, spaced 50m apart, at an average depth of 200m.

The total estimated drilling distance ranges between 6,000m to 8,000m.

The effort is supplemented by a detailed systematic mapping program to explore mineralisation strikes that remain open to the West.

"I want to thank the teams from Rapallo, Wanparta, RSC and K-Drill for their collaborative and flexible approach in working with the team at Macro to get our first drilling campaign at Goldsworthy East underway in just 10 days from the grant of POW," said Simon Rushton, Managing Director of Macro Metals.

In addition to the drilling program, field geologists from RSC have started a third phase of detailed mapping and sampling, focusing initially on the approved drilling area.

The work aims to identify additional high-grade hematite outcropping and sub-cropping across the project area, refining targets for current and future drilling activities.

The outcomes of this extensive sampling and mapping program will be instrumental in planning the Stage 2 drilling program, anticipated to extend into the northern target area.

All samples from the Stage 1 drilling will be submitted for assay analysis, with results to be announced in due course.
