en.Wedoany.com Reported - Auravelle Metals (ASX:AUV) has extended the strike length of its Sheoak gold trend to 3.5 kilometers and commenced metallurgical test work on key mineralized zones.

Following a review of existing drilling results, the company identified gold anomalies across at least three separate target areas over a 3.5-kilometer strike length. The anomalous zone extends from Sheoak to Sheoak North and Myall, remaining open in both north-south and down-dip directions. Apart from Sheoak, the deeper portions of the trend have only been very limitedly tested by reverse circulation drilling, making them a key target for the upcoming drilling program.

Managing Director Andrew Muir stated that the combination of recent drilling results with historical aircore data has revealed significant potential. The company has commenced preliminary gold recovery test work on key mineralized zones within the Sheoak target area using bottle roll leach analysis. The analysis is expected to take approximately four to six weeks, with results anticipated in late June or early July.

Muir noted that the metallurgical test work is the first step in the de-risking process, while the company continues to advance exploration programs across multiple projects in South Australia. Upcoming activities include infill and extensional reverse circulation drilling at other target areas in Sheoak and Nuckulla Hill, discovery-oriented aircore drilling at Nuckulla Hill, and soil sampling at the Crown Gold Project in Western Australia.

Auravelle Metals is an Australian exploration company focused on its recently discovered gold projects, including the Nuckulla Hill project in the Gawler Craton and the Crown project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
