Warriedar Resources (ASX:WA8) has received residual assay results from the recent 2,701m (27 holes) diamond drilling program at the Ricciardo site, part of the company's Golden Range Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia.
The assays cover the final 11 diamond holes (1,021m) and are part of an effort to confirm the presence of high-grade mineralisation at depth.
Drilling below the Silverstone pit has validated the extension of a high-grade shoot, showcasing better-than-expected grades.
Results include 13.7m @ 3.27 g/t Au and 0.36% Sb (4.04 g/t AuEq) from 253.3m in hole RDRC046 and 22.6m @ 2.11 g/t Au and 0.29% Sb (2.71 g/t AuEq) from 294m in hole RDRC044.
The results indicate down-dip continuity and grade improvements with depth.
From the Eastern Creek area, results indicate expanding grade and width at depth, with intersections such as 7m @ 2.54 g/t Au and 0.24% Sb (3.05 g/t AuEq) from 170m in hole RDRC060 and 25m @ 1.23 g/t Au and 0.17% Sb (1.60 g/t AuEq) from 232m in hole RDRC059.
The findings point to considerable potential for continued resource expansion.
Amanda Buckingham, Warriedar's Managing Director and CEO, commented, "This final set of diamond results from the recent Ricciardo drilling have really put a bow on the whole program for us. The broad-based extensional success delivered by this drilling is both real and exciting."
The company is set to update the Ricciardo mineral resource estimate in the fourth quarter, and further aircore and reverse circulation drilling is planned at the Golden Range Project to explore additional underexplored sections and along the broader mineralised shear.
At the time of reporting, Warriedar Resources' share price was $0.061.
