Great Southern Mining Limited (ASX: GSN) has received assay results from a targeted 3,155m RC drilling programme conducted in late-2023 at the Southern Star prospect, part of the 100% owned Duketon Gold Project.
“This was a small, but targeted drilling programme aimed at testing depth extensions and distal targets to the main zone of gold mineralization already defined at Southern Star. We are particularly excited about the new zones of mineralization detected to the north. This opens the potential for gold mineralization along a line of strike some 1.5km from Southern Star to the tenement boundary with Regis Resources,” said managing director, Matthew Keane.
This drilling has extended the down dip extent of the main zone of mineralization at Southern Star, which currently extends over a 700m strike to a depth of circa 160m below surface.
New zones of high-grade gold mineralization have been detected up to 1.2km north of Southern Star along the same magnetic high trend, with only sparse, historical, shallow drilling in between.
Significant intercepts include:
• 13m at 2.16 g/t Au from 57m, including 3m at 4.39 g/t Au in hole 23SSRC010
• 3m at 4.33g/t Au from 127m, including 1m at 9.94 g/t Au in hole 23SSRC008
In addition, the Southern Star main zone mineralization has been extended at depth with further high-grade gold intercepts including:
• 2m at 2.74g/t Au from 126m and 13m at 2.52 g/t Au from 144m, including 4m at 6.91 g/t Au in hole 23SSRC004
• 3m at 1.93 g/t Au from 76m and 9m at 3.66 g/t Au from 159m, including 6m at 4.63 g/t Au in hole 23SSRC002
The company will undertake drilling programmes during 2024 at the Duketon Gold Project with the aim to define an economic resource base.
