Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX: BGD) has expanded its 9,000m RC drilling programme, which is currently underway, at the Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia.
The expanded programme will now include up to 12,000m RC drilling, which will also now target the new ~500m long Area 51 gold zone recently announced in September 2022.
The programme will inform an updated Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) at Tunkillia, where the project’s total mineralized footprint has grown significantly via the discovery of three new gold zones (223 North, Area 191 and Area 51) since November 2021.
“We are encouraged by our continuing review of new and historical data. The new Area 51 gold zone, located 3.5km from the 223 Deposit, confirms a significant step-out of local gold mineralization and Tunkillia’s scale potential,” MD Alex Scanlon said.
“Expanding the current programme to include additional drill holes across both the 223 Deposit and Area 51 will generate significant additional information for Mineral Resource modelling.
“We are excited with our continued progress and look forward to providing further updates.”
